Microneedling is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure used to treat skin issues by increasing collagen production with minimal skin surface disruption. Micro-punctures, or collagen induction therapy, are made in the skin with tiny, sterile needles.
Benefits of Microneedling
It has recently seen a surge in popularity due to its many advantages. There is supposedly very little pain and downtime involved, and it may be tailored to each individual’s needs to renew and plump the skin. Such benefits include:

Improvement in the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines
Reducing enlarged pores
Reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation, or dark spots
Smoothing uneven skin tone
Improving skin elasticity
Reducing the appearance of stretch marks
