Microneedling creates tiny, controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface using fine, sterile needles. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing process, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin—the proteins responsible for firm, youthful skin. The process also boosts blood flow and promotes cell turnover, which helps repair damage and improve skin texture. As the skin heals, it becomes smoother, firmer, and more radiant, effectively reducing fine lines, acne scars, and other imperfections.
