What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment that uses small, sterilized needles for skin rejuvenation. The thousands of tiny microscopic holes inflicted by these needles are not visible to the naked eye, but trigger an immune system response that promotes healing by stimulating collagen and elastin production. These micro-injuries create firmer, tighter skin reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, discoloration, and other skin concerns.
Why Is Microneedling Performed?
Microneedling is done for a variety of reasons. You may be interested in microneedling if:
- You have enlarged pores.
- You have pronounced fine lines and wrinkles.
- You have scarring, such as acne scars or burns.
- You have stretch marks.
- You have skin discoloration.
- You have an uneven skin tone.
- Your skin appears loose and crepey.
- You have alopecia areata, which is a hair loss condition.
