Micro-needling is the process of creating controlled damage to the skin through the use of tiny needles attached to the hand-held device. A nutrient-rich skin serum is typically applied to the face before micro-needling is performed. The serum can then deeply penetrate the skin at each puncture site for maximum benefits.

Both the process of damaging the skin in a controlled fashion and the application of a skin-repairing serum help facilitate an increase in natural collagen production while expediting the regeneration of new skin cells. Micro-needling is great for eliminating moderate to severe acne scars, stretch marks, fine lines and wrinkles. One of the significant benefits of micro-needling is that there is no excessive skin peeling to deal with. Recovery times are short, and micro-needling can be used to treat the face and other select body areas.
