Micro- Needling
What is Medical Micro-Needling?
Medical micro-needling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), is a minimally invasive skin treatment that uses very fine needles to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin. This stimulates collagen production, resulting in smoother, healthier, and more
youthful-looking skin. Micro-needling can be used on the face or body, and the depth of
the needles is adjusted based on the treatment area.

The Science Behind Micro-Needling
Micro-needling works by creating tiny micro-injuries in the skin, which triggers the body’s natural healing process. This stimulates the formation of new collagen and elastin fibers while also improving blood circulation in the treated area. As a result, your skin becomes healthier, firmer, and more radiant.
Visible improvements typically appear within 6-8 weeks after the first treatment. The skin regeneration process continues to develop over the following months, providing gradual and long-lasting results. While a single session can deliver noticeable benefits, a series of 3 treatments spaced 6-8 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results.
Things to Consider:
Recovery times after micro-needling vary depending on the depth and density of the needles used. Post-treatment, your skin may appear red and inflamed for 24-48 hours, similar to a mild sunburn. Some patients may experience minor bleeding, mild bruising, and sensations of warmth, tightness, or itchiness. Generally, these side effects subside
within a couple of days but can vary based on individual skin types.
Although side effects cannot be completely prevented, our team is fully trained to identify and treat any complications early and safely.
