Microneedling involves the use of a device with fine needles to puncture the skin and create micro-injuries. The process triggers the body's natural healing response, leading to the production of collagen and elastin, which can help to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and other skin concerns. The procedure is minimally invasive and can be performed on various parts of the body, including the face, neck, décolletage, and hands. It is generally well-tolerated and has minimal downtime, making it a popular choice for those seeking to rejuvenate their skin without undergoing more extensive cosmetic procedures.
