Microneedling
This is also known as skin needling or collagen induction therapy is a minimally-invasive non-surgical and non-ablative cosmetic procedure. It involves the use of a series of extremely small needles which are pressed or rolled over the skin to create controlled skin injury.
The needles used in this treatment are so small and penetrate at a very shallow level into the skin so it is not painful. This stimulates the body’s natural wound response, triggering the skin to heal by producing new collagen and elastin in the dermis. It is useful for the following skin problems:
- Reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Decreasing hair loss and supporting hair growth.
- Improving the appearance of scars and stretch marks.
- Treating hyperpigmentation.
- Reducing age spots.
This procedure is effective for all skin types in the Fitzpatrick scale. It is by far one of the safest treatments aimed at collagen stimulation for any skin type.
