Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure also known as ‘collagen induction therapy’. The treatment involves using fine needles to create tiny punctures into the top layer of the skin. By doing this, the body’s natural healing process is triggered, which enhances collagen and elastin production, leading to a smoother, brighter, and clearer appearance.

Microneedling is an effective skin treatment that addresses and treats various skin concerns including acne scars, enlarged pores, fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone and texture, sun damage, and stretch marks.
