About Microneedling

A microneedling procedure includes making tiny pricks into the skin at the epidermis. There, at the top layer of your skin, the pinpricks cause small injuries known to trigger your skin’s natural regeneration response. This includes boosting collagen production, and in turn, new skin tissue that may provide a smoother tone, texture, and overall youthful appearance.

Before you start, the skin specialist will cleanse your skin and apply a topical anesthetic to eliminate any pain. During the microneedling treatment, the doctor uses a tool to create an even layer of small pinpricks across the targeted area, gently injuring the skin to stimulate collagen production, cellular growth, and a fresh, dewy layer of skin.
