What is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, is a non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment that uses a specialized device with ultra-fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. This process activates the body’s natural repair mechanism, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for smooth, firm, radiant skin.

Microneedling is often used as a standalone treatment or enhanced with PRP (platelet-rich plasma), growth factors, or exosomes to accelerate healing and amplify results. While those adjuncts are biologic boosters, microneedling on its own offers impressive skin-refining benefits for patients of nearly all skin types and tones. Microneedling is also used for over the scalp for hair restoration.
