What is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using a device with fine needles to create tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural wound healing process, which triggers new collagen and elastin production, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more toned skin.
The procedure works through a controlled process of the skin’s self-repair mechanism, creating microscopic “injuries” that trigger new collagen production without causing actual damage to the epidermis.

- Treatment: Using our advanced microneedling device, thousands of micro-punctures are created in your skin. The depth of the needles is customized to your specific skin concern and treatment area.
