Microneedling, also called medical needling, collagen induction therapy (CIT) or percutaneous collagen induction (PCI), is a non-invasive skin treatment.
Microneedling uses multiple fine, sterile needles to puncture the skin with microscopic channels. This intentional, controlled injury initiates a skin healing response, resulting in the increased production of collagen and elastin. The end result is thicker, plumper, firmer, smoother skin. Additionally, it allows skincare products to penetrate more deeply into the skin, making them more effective.
Microneedling is suitable for an array of superficial body and face skin concerns. From large pores, sun damage, hyperpigmentation and scarring - it is a truly brilliant treatment for acne scarring! When collagen is stimulated by microneedling, it helps to fill out pitted acne scars, leading to smoother skin.
The most obvious place where microneedling can be extended to is your neck and décolletage which can feature some of the same concerns as your face - it can also help with those lines you get as a result of sleeping on your side. A procedure like microneedling is also great for stretch marks as they cause a disruption in the natural production of collagen. Microneedling will not only help restart that production, but this boost of elastin and collagen will also help in healing the damaged connective tissue in the dermis that create the stretch marks.
