What is Micro-needling?
Micro-needling, also known as collagen induction therapy, which involves using a sterile cartridge which is fitted to the micro-needling pen containing titanium steel needles to create microscopic punctures in the skin. This controlled injury triggers the body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production. These proteins are essential for maintaining skin’s firmness, elasticity, and youthful appearance.
