HealingUnderstanding Microneedling
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, is a procedure that uses a device with fine, sterile needles to create thousands of tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the skin's natural healing response, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin, which are the building blocks of smooth, healthy skin.
The treatment is minimally invasive, safe, and encourages your skin to repair and renew itself from within, delivering gradual, natural improvement over time.
