What is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, it involves using a specialised device known as a microneedling pen which is equipped with fine needles to create thousands of minuscule, controlled punctures in the skin’s top layer. This process stimulates the body’s natural wound-healing phase, resulting in cellular turnover and increased collagen and elastin production, effectively rejuvenating the skin from the inside out.
