Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that uses small, sterilized needles to cause minor injury to the skin. This is to encourage collagen production by taking advantage of the body’s natural healing response. Also know as collagen production therapy.
The purpose of this treatment is to generate new collagen and skin tissue to smooth, firm, and tone skin.
Safety
-Microneedling is minimally invasive, requiring little to no downtime.
-It is considered safe for most people who are in overall good health.
-It is not recommended for people who are on certain acne medications, for those with active acne, or for those with moderate to severe psoriasis or eczema.
-You may experience minor redness and irritation for a few days after the procedure. Broad spectrum sunscreen is a must.
