Micro-needling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a cosmetic procedure that involves creating tiny punctures in the skin using small needles. This technique stimulates a natural healing response and promotes the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for youthful-looking skin.

During a micro-needling session, a device containing multiple microscopic needles is gently rolled or stamped over the skin. The needles penetrate the upper layers of the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries. This process triggers the release of growth factors and stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin fibers.

Micro-needling can improve the appearance of various skin concerns, including acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, stretch marks, and uneven skin texture. It can also enhance the effectiveness of skincare products by improving their absorption into the skin.

While micro-needling is generally considered safe and effective, it is important to consult with a trained professional before undergoing the procedure. They will assess your skin’s condition and recommend the appropriate treatment plan.
