What is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure. It uses tiny, fine needles to create micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural wound-healing processes. This leads to increased collagen and elastin production. Collagen and elastin are two key proteins that help maintain skin elasticity, firmness, and smoothness.

The process involves a specialized device—often a pen-like tool or roller—that moves across the skin. It puncture the skin at controlled depths to target issues like acne scars, fine lines, large pores, and even hyperpigmentation. Microneedling promotes new collagen growth, so it can rejuvenate the skin. It also can improve its overall texture and tone over time.

The treatment typically requires little to no downtime, although some redness or slight swelling may appear for a day or two after. Since microneedling works on a micro-level, it is considered safe for most skin types, but it’s essential to consult a professional to determine the right depth and frequency based on individual skin concerns.
