It is also known as collagen induction therapy. It is a cosmetic procedure that is gaining popularity because it rejuvenates the skin by stimulating collagen production and improving overall texture and appearance. Here are key points about micro needling:

Collagen Induction

Microneedling creates micro-injuries that prompt the skin's natural healing process, leads to increase collagen and elastin production, crucial for skin strength, elasticity, and firmness. It can be used on various body parts, including the face, neck, décolletage, and hands, to address fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, and uneven skin tone.

Procedure

The procedure usually begins with cleansing the skin and applying a numbing cream to lower the discomfort. Then, using a microneedling device like a derma roller or microneedling pen, controlled punctures are made on the skin's surface, and needle depth is adjusted based on specific skin concerns and treatment goals.

Benefits

• Promotes collagen and elastin production, improves the skin texture and wrinkles.
• Diminishes the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks.
• Smoothes out fine lines and wrinkles, result in a more youthful appearance.
• It enhances skin tone and texture, making it smoother, firmer, and more even.

Recovery

• Downtime: Mild redness and swelling occur immediately after treatment, but these typically subside within a few days.

Results

How often you get treated depends on your skin and what you want to achieve.
