Microneedling
COLLAGEN INDUCTION THERAPY
Microneedling is also known as collagen induction therapy. The device used creates thousands of microscopic channels in your skin by utilizing tiny needles. Creating these channels forces your skin to produce collagen and elastin.
Microneedling is a great way to maintain the natural beauty of your skin as well as treat specific conditions. Utilizing microneedling this way can be extremely effective in preventing problems like fine lines and wrinkles from forming in the first place. In fact, when used as a preventative measure, microneedling makes antiaging and other restorative beauty products more effective through a better absorption rate.
