What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses fine needles to create thousands of microscopic channels in the skin. This controlled micro-injury process triggers the body’s natural wound healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production to revitalize your skin from within.

SkinPen Microneedling Questions
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.
