What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses sterile, fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. This controlled process stimulates collagen and elastin production, which are key for firm, smooth, and youthful skin. It is commonly used for acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, and stretch marks.
How It Works
A microneedling device glides over the skin to create tiny channels in the upper layers. The skin responds by accelerating repair and generating new collagen. These channels also allow topical serums to absorb more effectively, enhancing results. Over time, the skin becomes thicker, smoother, and more even.
Ideal Candidates
Ideal candidates are adults with acne scars, uneven texture, early signs of aging, or enlarged pores. Microneedling is safe for most skin tones when performed by a trained professional. People with active acne, open wounds, or certain skin conditions may need to postpone treatment.
