What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, involves the use of a device equipped with fine, sterile needles to create micro-injuries on the skin's surface. This process stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, essential proteins that maintain skin firmness and elasticity. The treatment is effective in addressing various skin concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars and other types of scarring
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Stretch marks
By promoting natural skin regeneration, microneedling helps achieve a smoother, firmer, and more youthful appearance.
