Skin needling, also called microneedling therapy or collagen induction therapy (CIT), is a minimally invasive skin-rejuvenation procedure that involves the use of a device containing fine needles. This treatment is extremely popular because it activates the body’s own collagen production and ultimately helps reduce the appearance of fine wrinkles, lines, and acne scars.
Scalp Microneedling
By using high-precision, medical-grade microneedles, scalp microneedling is a professional hair restoration treatment designed to stimulate follicles and improve scalp health. It creates micro-channels to boost collagen and increase the absorption of nourishing serums, aiming to help counteract hair thinning and support healthier growth.
A series of scalp microneedling treatments can increase blood flow, collagen production, and nutrient delivery to the hair roots, especially when treating hair thinning, including cases of androgenetic alopecia.
How Does Microneedling Work?
During the treatment, micro-injury happens to the skin. Fine needles create tiny, invisible puncture wounds on the top layer of the skin, and within minutes these injuries stimulate collagen and elastin production.
The micro-injuries created during treatment stimulate the body’s natural wound-healing process.
Since collagen is key to youthful, healthy skin, the result is smoother, shinier, and softer skin. Microneedling does not significantly damage the epidermis, and there is virtually no risk of infection or scarring when the procedure is performed properly.
The result is glowing remodeling and rejuvenation while keeping the overall structure of the skin intact.
