Microneedling

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a non-surgical aesthetic procedure that involves creating tiny punctures or micro-wounds in the skin using a device equipped with small, fine needles. Despite how that sounds, it's generally well-tolerated and the procedure is done with a numbing cream to minimise discomfort.

The purpose of these micro-wounds is to stimulate the body's natural wound healing process, which includes the production of collagen and elastin, two proteins essential for maintaining the skin's elasticity and firmness.

The benefits of microneedling can include:

• Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles: By stimulating collagen and elastin production, microneedling can help the skin look plumper and more youthful.
• Improved skin texture: The healing process can also smooth out the skin, reducing the appearance of pores and improving overall skin texture.
• Reduced scarring: Microneedling has been shown to be effective in reducing the appearance of acne scars and other types of scarring.
• Enhanced product absorption: The tiny channels created in the skin can allow skincare products to penetrate deeper, improving their effectiveness.
