Microneedling
What is microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, involves the use of fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body's natural healing process and promoting collagen and elastin production. This results in improved skin texture, reduced scars, and overall skin rejuvenation.
Use in Aesthetics:
Minimizing fine lines and wrinkles
Reducing acne scars and other types of scars
Improving skin texture and tone
Tightening loose or sagging skin
Enhancing the effectiveness of skincare products by facilitating better absorption
What to Expect:
Mild redness and swelling are common immediately after the procedure, which typically subside within a few days.
Skin might appear slightly sunburned for a short period.
Results gradually become noticeable in the weeks following treatment, with improvements continuing over several months.
Aftercare Instructions:
Avoid direct sun exposure.
Keep the treated area clean and avoid harsh skincare products.
Use gentle skincare products recommended by your provider.
Step-by-Step Procedure:

Preparation: The treatment area is cleansed, and a numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort.
Microneedling: The device with fine needles is gently moved over the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries.
