Microneedling stimulates skin turnover and collagen production, revealing young, glowing skin underneath
What is microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation procedure, also known as collagen induction therapy. Using precise needles, the device stimulates skin turnover and collagen production, revealing young, glowing skin underneath.
How does microneedling work?
Microneedling is done using a device that contains tiny, fine needles to puncture the skin. By plucking with the tips of these needles, the device creates a controlled area of healing at the surface-level of the skin. This healing process triggers the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in improved skin texture and firmness, as well as reduction in scars, pore size, and stretch marks.
This is an especially effective treatment for those who want to reduce the appearance of scars, wrinkles and pores by rejuvenating the skin under and around them.
