If you’ve heard about microneedling but aren’t sure what it is, you’re in the right place. This micro-needling treatment has become a favorite for improving skin texture, reducing wrinkles, and minimizing scars. And even better: when combined with the right active ingredients, results are enhanced.
What is microneedling and what is it for?
Microneedling is an aesthetic treatment that uses devices with tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating skin regeneration.
It boosts natural collagen production through a process known as collagen induction therapy (CIT).
The microchannels created also enhance the penetration of cosmetic actives into deeper layers.
Areas of application
Commonly used on the face, but also on the neck, décolletage, hands, abdomen, and thighs. Needle depth varies depending on the treatment goal.
Does it hurt?
A topical anesthetic is applied, so discomfort is minimal. Redness may occur for 24–48 hours.
