Microneedling is a skin rejuvenation treatment that involves the use of an electric skin-needling device used to puncture the first layer of skin and forcing the skin to rejuvenate itself. This new cell production leads to the creation of new layers of elastin and collagen that over a period of multiple treatments help improve your skin overall.
