Collagen Induction Therapy or Microneedling is becoming increasingly popular in the aesthetic industry. It can be used in conjunction with other cosmetic treatments, such as peels, to improve the end cosmetic results. The micro-needling process involves using fine needles to create hundreds of tiny, invisible puncture wounds in the top layer of skin. It is a virtually painless and very effective way to treat multiple skin conditions. It is a versatile treatment as it can be done by a trained aesthetic professional or at home using a dermaroller.

By puncturing the skin’s surface, the body’s natural wound healing processes are stimulated, resulting in increased collagen and elastin production. Collagen and elastin are structural proteins found in our skin that give it plumpness and structure, giving it a more youthful appearance. The use of microneedling thus slows down the skin ageing process.
Microneedling can also be used to break through the skin barrier and allow penetration of other products, such as Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), when used as an adjunct treatment. Usually, only a few sessions of microneedling can reduce the appearance of fine lines. Compared to peels, lasers and dermabrasion, microneedling does not cause much skin damage. Making it one of the safest and most effective cosmetic procedures with little downtime.
Microneedling has been proven to reduce acne scars due to the skin remodelling processes it stimulates. It has also shown to reduce UV radiation related sun damage to the skin, including pigmented lesions such as melasma. As a result of increased collagen, microneedling helps to reduce pore size as well. Microneedling is often combined with Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) for improved skin tone and skin rejuvenation.
The dermaroller is an easy to use tool and it can be used in any part of the body, such as to reduce stretch marks on the abdomen or thigh. Due to its stimulating effect has also been known to promote hair regeneration leading to hair regrowth. It is becoming increasingly popular to use microneedling to augment other treatments such as facial serums, platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapy, laser resurfacing etc.
