What is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a regenerative skincare procedure used to address various skin concerns. This minimally-invasive skin needling technique involves the use of an automated device which deploys tiny needles into the dermal layers to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. As the body repairs itself, the process of collagen stimulation produces healthier, more robust skin tissue.

To boost the effectiveness of this type of treatment, medically referred to as percutaneous collagen induction, your skincare provider may use topical serums for microneedling. These may include hyaluronic acid to boost hydration, ingredients to reduce hyperpigmentation, or autologous healing factors such as Platelet-rich plasma (PRP).

Microneedling Benefits

The benefits of microneedling for skin rejuvenation are numerous.
