During skin needling, the needling device (which has a cylinder with multiple microneedles on it) is rolled back and forth on the skin, causing multiple punctures in the skin.
Skin needling is also known as “Collagen Induction Therapy”. It is helpful in particular for scarring, pigmentation and skin rejuvenation.
The needles cause thousands of puncture holes in the skin when the wheel is rolled over the skin in multiple passes. This is followed by wound healing and subsequent collagen production. With this new collagen production, results will start to be seen at 3 months and will increase for up to 12 months. The patient will notice improvement in acne scars, wrinkles and skin texture and tightness.
