What is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a procedure that uses a device with fine needles to create tiny, controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, boosting the production of collagen and elastin—proteins essential for firm, smooth skin.
This treatment is effective for:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars and other types of scars
- Uneven skin texture
- Enlarged pores
- Stretch marks
- Hyperpigmentation and melasma

The Benefits of Microneedling
1. Boosts Collagen and Elastin Production
Microneedling stimulates the skin’s natural repair process, increasing collagen and elastin levels. This leads to firmer, more youthful skin.
2. Improves Skin Texture and Tone
By addressing uneven texture and pigmentation, microneedling promotes smoother, more radiant skin.
3. Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles
The increased collagen production helps smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, giving the skin a more youthful appearance.
4. Minimizes Acne Scars and Stretch Marks
Microneedling breaks down scar tissue and promotes the growth of new skin, reducing the visibility of acne scars and stretch marks over time.
5. Enhances Absorption of Skincare Products
The micro-channels created during treatment enhance the penetration and effectiveness of serums and skincare products applied afterward.
6. Safe for All Skin Types
Microneedling is a versatile treatment that can be safely performed on all skin types and tones.
