Micro needling is a minimally-invasive treatment that involves the use of a sterile micro-needling pen, to create a channel through the epidermis . The micro channel leads to a production of new collagen and allows deeper penetration of treatment serums. It is considered one of the safest, advanced skin treatment procedures used to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scars, enlarged pores, and pigmentation.

Micro needling is a minimally-invasive treatment that involves the use of a micro-needling device to create a controlled skin injury. The needles are up to 3 mm in length but typically 0.5 mm length is used to minimise bleeding and enable rapid recovery.
Professional micro needling is considered to be one of the safest, advanced skin treatment procedures.
As each fine needle punctures the skin, it creates a channel or micro-wound. The microchannels created, spontaneously close after 4-10 minutes so that epidermal barrier integrity remains intact. The needles injure superficial dermal collagen strands and small blood vessels, leading to the production of new collagen, elastin, and capillaries aiding in scar reduction, reducing fine lines and treating stretch marks.
