Micro-needling is a minimally invasive, non-surgical, and non-ablative procedure for facial and body regeneration that involves the use of a needling device to create controlled skin injury. 

​

As each fine needle punctures the skin it creates a channel or micro wound. The controlled injury triggers the body to fill the micro wounds by producing new collagen and elastin in the papillary dermis leading to new capillary formation .

This neovascularization and neocollegenesis following the treatment leads to the reduction of scars and skin rejuvenation .

​

Skin needling is considered to be one of the safest skin treatment procedure and cause minimal damage to the skin unlike chemical peels , dermabrasion and laser treatments .
