Microneedling is an aesthetic technique that involves creating controlled micro-perforations on the skin's surface using a dermaroller or an electric pen equipped with micro-needles. This process stimulates the natural production of collagen and elastin , two essential elements for firmer, smoother, and more radiant skin.
It is used to reduce wrinkles and fine lines , fade acne scars , tighten pores , even out skin tone and promote the penetration of cosmetic active ingredients . Although it is increasingly practiced at home, this treatment requires rigor, hygiene and precautions to guarantee effective and risk-free results.

Microneedling what is it?

Microneedling is a skin care technique that uses an electric pen equipped with microneedles to create fine micro-perforations on the surface of the epidermis.

These micro-channels naturally stimulate the production of collagen and elastin , thus promoting cell renewal and optimal absorption of the active ingredients applied during the treatment.
