What is Microneedling
Microneedling is known by many names, also referred to as skin needling, micro-needling therapy, and collagen induction therapy (CIT). Microneedling is a skin-rejuvenation procedure using minimally invasive fine needles. This process stimulates the skin to fill the microscopic wounds with new collagen and elastin. The controlled skin injury allows the body to repair skin imperfections such as wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, and large pores. The process allows an improvement in skin texture and firmness while reducing the imperfections.
Optionally, Autologous Conditioned Plasma/Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) can be combined with Microneedling treatment in a form of dermatologic autologous blood therapy. Autologous Conditioned Plasma/PRF is derived from the patient’s own blood and contain growth factors that increase collagen production. It can be applied topically to the entire treatment area during Microneedling treatments.
