Micro-needling has been around for many years, and has become increasingly popular. Essentially, micro-needling also known as Collagen Induction Therapy is a non-surgical, non-ablative procedure that uses fine needles to create controlled micro injuries on the skin, which stimulates the body’s natural healing and repair process, leading to the production of new collagen, elastin, and capillaries.
