How Microneedling works
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that utilizes fine needles to create tiny, evenly-spaced micro-injuries in the skin. This initiates the body’s natural wound healing process, prompting the healthy surrounding tissue to repair the damage and restore the skin to its optimal condition.
This reparative process helps diminish the appearance of dark spots, wrinkles, sagging, and texture irregularities such as acne scars or stretch marks.
Recent studies have demonstrated that microneedling effectively targets melanocytes responsible for melanin overproduction, resulting in brighter, more even-toned skin.
