Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the use of a device with fine needles to create tiny, controlled punctures (micro-injuries) in the skin’s surface.
The procedure stimulates the body’s natural wound healing response, promoting the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining the skin’s firmness and elasticity. Microneedling is performed by dermatologists, plastic surgeons, or trained skincare professionals.
