FAQ's

Microneedling, (skin needling or collagen induction therapy) involves the use of fine needles to create microscopic channels in the skin. This process stimulates the dermis to produce new collagen and elastin, facilitating the generation of new skin cells. When the skin experiences injury, a natural repair process activates, replacing damaged skin with new collagen and promoting healing. Medical microneedling preserves the epidermis—the outermost barrier layer—while the micro-injuries induced by sterile surgical needles trigger a complex healing response, leading to the deposition of improved collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, which are essential for healthy skin structure. Clinical studies have demonstrated that microneedling significantly enhances the skin’s thickness, potentially increasing it by up to 80%, thereby smoothing scars, visibly reducing stretch marks, and minimising the appearance of wrinkles. This advanced therapy achieves noticeable improvements in skin quality with minimal downtime.
