The Science Behind Microneedling

Microneedling harnesses the skin’s natural healing response through controlled micro-injuries. During treatment, ultra-fine needles create tiny, precise punctures in the skin’s outer layers, triggering a robust healing process. This stimulates fibroblasts—the cells responsible for collagen and elastin production—to increase their activity. As collagen and elastin regenerate, the skin naturally becomes firmer, smoother, and more youthful. Additionally, these microscopic channels enhance the absorption and efficacy of topical serums and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), optimizing overall rejuvenation and skin health.
