Micro-Needling
What is the purpose of Micro-Needling?
Micro–needling is a form of cosmetic or aesthetic treatment that involves using tiny needles to create tiny punctures in the top layer of skin. The purpose of micro–needling is to stimulate collagen production, which can improve the appearance of wrinkles, acne scars, and other skin imperfections. It can also be used to improve the absorption of topical products, such as serums and creams.
Micro–needling can be done using an electric device or by hand with a derma roller. The procedure is relatively simple. During the treatment, a numbing cream is applied to the face and a derma roller (or electric device) is used to create tiny punctures in the top layer of skin. This causes minor bleeding and the release of growth factors, which encourages the body to produce new collagen and elastin.
The procedure does not require any downtime and can be done in about 30 minutes.
