What is Micro Needling?
The microneedling procedure is a minimally-invasive cosmetic treatment that improves skin texture and tone. The procedure involves using a device that uses fine needles to make tiny punctures on the surface of the skin. These micro-injuries promote the body’s healing process by promoting collagen and elastic production.
Microneedling can be used to treat a variety of skin issues, such as fine lines, wrinkles and acne scars. It is also effective for skin rejuvenation. This treatment is suitable for the face, neck and other areas that require skin enhancement.
