WHAT IS MICRONEEDLING?
Stated simply, microneedling inserts tiny needles into the skin, causing tiny wounds to stimulate the body’s natural healing response. These microchannels then fill with new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, leaving the skin looking plump, pink, and glowing for weeks. The depth of needle penetration is dependent on several factors, including skin condition and each state’s scope-of-practice rules. Also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling is used to improve conditions including rough or uneven skin texture, crepe-like appearance, scarring, fine lines, and wrinkles. This technique can also be used to diminish pigmentation. According to a 2008 study, skin treated with four microneedling sessions one month apart showed an increase in the production of collagen and elastin of up to 400 percent, six months post treatment.
