Also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling is a popular cosmetic procedure that involves the use of fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s natural healing process, promoting increased blood circulation and collagen production.
This healing response helps to improve skin health and rejuvenates the skin from within. Microneedling is particularly effective in reducing stretch marks, minimizing cellulite, and improving the appearance of scars. It also enhances the skin’s texture and tone, tightening the skin and boosting its elasticity.
In addition, the procedure can help address common skin concerns such as hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, and fine lines, making the skin appear smoother and more youthful. Furthermore, microneedling can be used to treat scars by encouraging the growth of new, healthy skin.
However, it is important to note that individuals with blood disorders, cancer, acne, or other specific medical conditions should avoid microneedling, as it may not be suitable for them.
