MICRONEEDLING

Skin Needling, also known as Micro-Needling therapy and Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), is a minimally invasive skin-rejuvenation procedure involving a pen-shaped device containing 12 fine needles. The needles are used to puncture the skin to create a controlled skin injury. Each puncture creates a channel that triggers the body to fill these microscopic wounds by producing new collagen and elastin.

 

TECHNOLOGY

 

The device slides along the skin, penetrating the skin's upper layers to a depth of up to 2mm to create numerous tiny needle wounds. The procedure prompts the body to respond through the creation of new collagen and elastin fibers. In response to the stimulus, the skin plumps and thickens, reducing the appearance of scars and fine lines and wrinkles.
