Results typically start appearing within 2-4 weeks, with continued improvements over 3-6 months.
Overview
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing response, promoting collagen and elastin production, which improves skin texture, firmness, and overall appearance.
How Microneedling Works
- A device with tiny, sterile needles creates micro-injuries on the skin’s surface.
- The body responds by producing more collagen and elastin, leading to smoother, firmer skin.
- The treatment can be combined with serums, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), or growth factors for enhanced results.
