Microneedling
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that stimulates collagen production using small sterilized needles. Microneedling the skin creates a micro “trauma” to the area which stimulates our bodies natural healing response, increasing collagen production and the growth of new skin cells.
Collagen is the most abundant protein in our body that makes up all of our connective tissues including: bones, skin, muscle, tendons, ligaments.
Collagen makes up 70-80% of the protein in our skin. After the age of 30, collagen declines. Hence the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, decrease in skin elasticity, etc. Diet, lifestyle, sleep all affect and can speed up the decrease in collagen production. It is also possible to slow down the breakdown of collagen.
