Microneedling continues to be one of our top non-invasive treatments of choice to achieve total skin rejuvenation and incredible skin results. Whether your concerns are scarring, pigmentation, premature ageing or just general maintenance for optimal skin health, microneedling is for you.   Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy (CIT),  involves the use of a needling device to create small injures in the skin to activate skin rejuvenation.  These controlled injuries trigger the skin’s natural repair processes, stimulating collagen and elastin production.  This procedure is most commonly used to help improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, and skin texture.  In the past few years, it has increased in popularity due to its ability to improve skin texture and firmness, and to diminish scars, pore size, and stretch marks.  The results are natural, effective with virtually no risk  to increase volume, firmness, and even skin tone.  Microneedling is sometimes used to help topical skin treatments such as peptides, PRP, hyaluronic acid and and more to penetrate the skin more effectively.  Because microneedling does not deliver heat to the skin, people who have melasma (dark patches)  or hyperpigmentation (dark spots) can undergo microneedling without the risk of worsening their condition.

Microneedling is administered in various ways. One of the most well-known are dermal rollers, which are cylindrical drums covered in microneedles that are rolled over the skin. Similarly, a dermal stamp punctures a specific area using a stamping action. In in the last decade, the introduction of the mechanical microneedling pen dramatically improved the precision of this procedure. Through a series of sessions, microneedling can increase elastic skin fibers. Microneedling also helps the epidermis (the outermost layer of skin), which naturally thins with age, become thicker and tauter.
