Microneedling & Dermaroller: How It Works & Benefits for Skin

14 December 20256 min read

[{"type":"paragraph","text":"Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy (CIT), is one of the most popular minimally invasive cosmetic procedures performed in dermatology clinics today. It involves using a device with fine needles (dermaroller or dermapen) to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the body's natural wound healing response and boosting collagen and elastin production. Microneedling effectively treats acne scars, enlarged pores, fine lines, stretch marks, and overall skin texture. It can be combined with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) or serums for enhanced results. Recovery is minimal, with mild redness lasting 24-48 hours."}]
