What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, is a minimally invasive skin treatment that uses tiny, controlled micro-injuries to stimulate your skin’s natural healing process. These micro-channels encourage collagen and elastin production — the essential proteins responsible for firmness, smoothness, and overall skin quality.
It’s a popular treatment for anyone over 18 who wants to improve skin texture, reduce acne scars, soften fine lines, or simply achieve a natural, radiant glow.
How Microneedling Works
During the treatment, a handheld device with ultra-fine needles gently glides across the skin. While it may sound intense, the procedure is well-tolerated with numbing cream.
Here’s what happens beneath the surface:
Micro-injuries are created on the skin’s surface.
Your skin enters repair mode, sending growth factors to the area.
Collagen and elastin production increases, leading to firmer, smoother skin over time.
Unlike treatments that only target the surface, microneedling works deep within the skin — making it a powerful anti-aging and skin-rejuvenation method.
Key Benefits of Microneedling
✅ Improves Skin Texture & Tone
Reduces roughness, dullness, and uneven areas, leaving your skin more refined and radiant.
✅ Reduces Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Increases collagen production, softening early signs of aging without injections or surgery.
✅ Minimizes Acne Scars & Enlarged Pores
Helps break down scar tissue and stimulates fresh skin regeneration.
✅ Enhances Product Absorption
Micro-channels allow serums and active ingredients to penetrate deeper for better results.
✅ Works on All Skin Types
A safe choice for most skin tones and types — including sensitive skin, when performed professionally.
