Benefits of Microneedling :
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that treats skin concerns by stimulating collagen production. This is also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) The microneedling pen creates micro-punctures using vertical insertions to create thousands of tiny holes in the skin causing the release of serum growth factors which stimulate the breakdown of old fibrous collagen and stimulate new collagen and elastin development.
Microneedling results are comparable to ablative treatments such as Fraxel, IPL and Laser Resurfacing but at a fraction of the cost.
The procedure is used mainly on the face to help to improve skin tone, reduce acne scars, stretch marks or wrinkles. But can also be used on other areas of the body to treat scarring and stretch marks.
