Micro-needling is the insertion of very fine, short, sterilized needles into the skin for rejuvenation. When the skin feels these pinpricks, your body will naturally rush to heal them, resulting in a plumped, more youthful appearance. The purpose of this treatment is to generate new collagen and skin tissue to smooth, firm, and tone skin. Micro-needling is mostly used on the face and may reduce the appearance of acne, scars, dark spots, wrinkles, and large pores. Micro-needling has gained popularity for its growing list of benefits. It is said to rejuvenate and plump the skin with minimal discomfort and very little downtime, and it can be adjusted to fit each person’s needs.
