Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy and Mesoneedling, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure used to treat various skin issues. It involves using fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin, which triggers the body’s natural healing process and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. This process helps to improve the texture and firmness of the skin, reduce scars, diminish fine lines and wrinkles, and treat hyperpigmentation.
How Microneedling Works
The procedure is typically performed using a device called a dermaroller or a more advanced microneedling pen. These devices can be adjusted to different needle lengths depending on:
The area being treated
The specific skin concern
What to Expect During Treatment
Duration: 30 minutes to 1 hour
Downtime: Minimal (redness/swelling similar to a sunburn)
Recovery: Redness subsides within a few days
