Microneedling

Microneedling (also called collagen induction therapy) is a cosmetic procedure. It involves applying a numbing cream to the area, and using an instrument that pricks the skin with tiny sterilized needles. The small wounds cause your body to make more collagen and elastin, which heal your skin and help you look younger by smoothing out wrinkles.  

Microneedling may help with issues like: Acne, Hair loss (also called alopecia), Dark spots or patches on your skin
(hyperpigmentation), Scars, Stretch marks, Sun damage, Fine lines and wrinkles.

Most people get microneedling on the face, but it can also be done on other parts of the body, such as your stomach or thighs. Microneedling is less expensive than laser treatments, which can cost about four times as much. Microneedling is also better for people with darker skin because it doesn’t involve heat like laser treatments, which can affect your skin’s pigmentation, or colour. The procedure has minimal down time. Most people need 3-6 treatments to see a difference.
