How Microneedling Works
The Science Behind Collagen Induction Therapy
Professional microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, uses precision micro-needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process triggers your body's natural wound healing response, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin - the proteins responsible for firm, smooth, youthful skin.

Adjustable Needle Depth: Customized penetration for different skin areas

Sterile, Single-Use Needles: Highest safety standards with no cross-contamination
