Microneedling
-
How it works
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using a device equipped with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny punctures stimulate the body’s natural wound-healing process, leading to increased collagen and elastin production—key elements in maintaining youthful, healthy skin.
Microneedling is generally safe for most skin types with minimal recovery timemaking it a popular choice for those seeking non-surgical rejuvenation.

Potential Benefits
For Facial Rejuvenation:
Microneedling helps improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, and acne scars. It enhances skin firmness and elasticity, giving the face a smoother, more radiant appearance over time.
For Hair Loss (Scalp Microneedling):
When applied to the scalp, microneedling promotes blood circulation and rejuvenates hair follicles, potentially encouraging new hair growth and improving the density of thinning areas. It’s commonly used to treat conditions like androgenic alopecia and can be paired with topical treatments like minoxidil or PRP for enhanced effectiveness.
