Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a cosmetic procedure that involves using a device with small, fine needles to create tiny puncture wounds on the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process and promote the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for healthy, youthful-looking skin. Microneedling can be used to treat a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin texture. The procedure can be performed on the face, neck, chest, and other areas of the body.
