What is Microneedling?

Microneedling (collagen induction therapy) uses a device with fine needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin surface. These micro-injuries trigger the body's natural wound healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin without causing actual damage.

The treatment can be performed with a manual derma-roller, but professional results come from electronic devices (dermapens) which allow precise depth control and consistent needle penetration. Many clinics combine microneedling with growth factors, hyaluronic acid, or PRP for enhanced results.
