What is Microneedling?

Microneedling (collagen induction therapy) uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This triggers the body's natural healing response, producing new collagen and elastin for firmer, smoother, more youthful-looking skin with improved texture.

What to Know Before You Go

💡

Pro Tip:

Combine microneedling with PRP for synergistic benefits. The growth factors in platelet-rich plasma enhance healing and collagen production.

⚠️

Insider Note:

Plan your microneedling sessions with recovery time in mind. You'll want 3–5 days before major events or sun exposure due to visible redness.
