Question 13

What is Microneedling?

Accepted Answer

Microneedling stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin in the skin by puncturing the dermis with microscopic needles. The treatment utilizes the skin's ability to heal itself, in turn triggering the production of new collagen and elastin. In addition to treating pores, fine wrinkles, loss of elasticity, scarring, and pigmentation, it also enables topical products to penetrate deeper into the skin, increasing their effectiveness.
