Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that involves the use of a device with fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin's surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the skin's natural healing response, promoting the production of collagen and elastin – essential proteins for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity.
During microneedling, the tiny punctures created by the needles trigger a wound-healing process, encouraging the formation of new skin cells and the restructuring of existing ones. This leads to improved skin texture, reduced fine lines, and overall rejuvenation. Additionally, the procedure enhances the absorption of topical skincare products, as the micro-channels allow for better penetration.
Microneedling is used to address various skin concerns, including wrinkles, scars, and stretch marks.
