Microneedling is a procedure that has taken over the beauty industry. It’s loved for the amazing results and little to no downtime. Microneedling relies mainly on the body’s capacity to repair itself and uses a handheld tool with lots of tiny needles that puncture the first layer of skin. This minimal damage procedure triggers the natural healing process of your body. It creates new, plump skin by boosting collagen production. This new skin is smoother, softer, and more radiant.

During the Microneedling process, small needles prick the skin, creating micro-damage to the skin, leading to the body generating new skin cells.
The primary benefits of Microneedling are:
