Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin treatment using thin surgical steel needles to create tiny wounds in the skin. This increases the production of collagen and other healing factors. Collagen is an essential protein that helps keep the skin looking youthful, with a firm, smooth, and elastic texture. Microneedling can minimize the appearance of stretch marks, scars, wrinkles and other skin concerns. Microneedling treatments are most often performed on the face, but other areas of the body can be treated. It is important to realize that microneedling is not a quick fix, as it involves the growth of new skin and it may take several treatments to reach your goals. It can take several months for a person to see the full results of the procedure.
