Microneedling also known as collagen induction therapy or dermarolling, is a cosmetic procedure that involves creating tiny, controlled puncture wounds in the skin using fine needles. This technique stimulates the body's natural healing process, resulting in increased collagen and elastin production, which can improve the texture and appearance of the skin.
Here are some points about microneedling:
Procedure: During a microneedling session, a dermatologist or aesthetician uses a device called a dermaroller or a microneedling pen with small, sterile needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. The depth of the needles can vary depending on the desired outcome and the area being treated.
Collagen Induction: The controlled injury caused by microneedling triggers the release of growth factors and stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin fibers. Collagen is a protein that provides structure to the skin, while elastin allows the skin to stretch and bounce back. The increased production of these components can lead to firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.
Skin Conditions: Microneedling is commonly used to address a variety of skin concerns, including acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone, enlarged pores, stretch marks, and sun damage. It can be performed on various areas of the body, including the face, neck, décolletage, hands, and abdomen.
