Microneedling—also known as collagen induction therapy—is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using fine needles to create tiny, controlled punctures in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production—two key proteins that keep skin firm, smooth, and youthful.

🌿 How Microneedling Works
A microneedling device creates micro-channels in the skin at a controlled depth, between 0.25 mm and 2.5 mm, depending on the area treated and desired results.

The micro-injuries stimulate:
Fibroblast activity → increases collagen and elastin synthesis
Cell turnover → promotes fresh, healthy skin cells
Enhanced absorption of topical serums (like hyaluronic acid or vitamin C)

✨ Key Benefits of Microneedling
Improves Skin Texture & Tone
Reduces Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Diminishes Acne Scars & Surgical Scars
Fades Hyperpigmentation & Sun Damage
Enhances Skin Firmness & Elasticity
Minimizes Stretch Marks
Improves Product Absorption

⚕️ Treatment & Recovery
Procedure time: ~30–60 minutes
Downtime: Minimal (1–3 days of mild redness and swelling)
Results: Noticeable improvement in 4–6 weeks; collagen remodeling continues for months
Recommended sessions: 3–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart for optimal results

⚠️ Aftercare Tips
Avoid direct sunlight and use broad-spectrum sunscreen.
Skip makeup and harsh skincare for 24–48 hours.
Keep skin hydrated with a gentle moisturizer or hyaluronic acid serum.
Avoid retinoids, exfoliants, and active acids for several days post-procedure.

❌ Who Should Avoid Microneedling
Active acne, eczema, or psoriasis on the treatment area
Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals
Those with open wounds, infections, or recent isotretinoin (Accutane) use
