Microneedling is an effective way to rejuvenate the skin, improving texture and firmness. The treatment works by creating tiny punctures in the top skin layer. The microneedles triggers your body to regenerate new collagen and elastin in order to heal. Collagen keeps the skin looking youthful, firm and smooth. As we age collagen production begins to decline in the skin contributing to wrinkles and aging.
