What is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that uses a device with tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates the body’s natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production.
Microneedling helps improve acne scars, pigmentation, fine lines, pores, and overall skin texture.
How It Works:
- A numbing cream is applied to the skin for comfort.
- A microneedling device (pen or roller) creates controlled micro-punctures.
- This triggers skin regeneration, leading to firmer, smoother, brighter skin.
- Sometimes combined with PRP (Vampire Facial) or serums for enhanced results.
