Microneedling
Microneedling (Collagen Induction Therapy)
Creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin using fine needles, triggering a wound-healing cascade that produces new collagen and elastin. Effective for acne scars, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and overall skin rejuvenation. Can be combined with PRP ('vampire facial').
How Microneedling Works
Fine needles create controlled micro-channels in the dermis, initiating a three-phase wound healing response: inflammation (growth factor release), proliferation (new collagen/elastin synthesis), and remodeling (mature collagen fiber organization). This replaces damaged tissue with new, structured dermal matrix.
📊 Evidence by Outcome
Increases dermal collagen types I and III by up to 400% after a series of treatments. Confirmed by histological studies.
20 studies • Consistency: High • Effect: Large
50-75% improvement in acne scarring after 3-6 sessions. One of the most effective non-ablative treatments for scars.
15 studies • Consistency: High • Effect: Large
Significant improvement in fine lines and skin texture. Results build over 3-6 months as new collagen matures.
10 studies • Consistency: Moderate • Effect: Moderate
