Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the use of a device with fine, sterile needles to create thousands of tiny, controlled punctures (micro-injuries) in the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural wound healing processes, leading to increased collagen and elastin production. Collagen and elastin are proteins that help the skin appear firmer, smoother, and more youthful.
Microneedling is often used to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, and other skin imperfections. It can also enhance skin texture and tone.
