Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the use of fine needles to create tiny punctures (micro-injuries) in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, encouraging collagen and elastin production. This process can help improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, and treat various skin concerns like acne scars, stretch marks, and hyperpigmentation.
- Preparation: A numbing cream is applied to the skin to reduce discomfort.
- Needling Process: A device with fine needles is moved across the skin to create controlled micro-injuries.
- Healing & Results: After the procedure, the skin begins to heal, and new collagen and elastin are produced. Results typically become visible after a few weeks, with optimal results appearing after several treatments.
