What Is Microneedling ?

Microneedling can restore your skin’s glow, give you fullness and tightness without the need for anesthesia or incisions.

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, involves creating tiny, controlled injuries on the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries kickstart the skin’s natural healing process, boosting the production of collagen and elastin. 

Collagen and elastin are crucial proteins that provide the skin with strength, structure, and elasticity. This treatment helps improve skin tightness and glow by addressing issues like pigmentation, laxity, and sagging. 

What Are the Types of Microneedling?

Here are the various types of microneedling:

• Traditional Microneedling: Uses an FDA-approved handheld device to puncture the skin’s surface.
• Radio Frequency Microneedling: It combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to enhance collagen production.
• PRP Microneedling: Involves applying platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from the patient to the skin before microneedling. PRP’s growth factors accelerate healing.
• Serum Microneedling: Uses serums like hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, AHA, or BHA after the microneedling process.
