What is Microneedling

Microneedling is a minimally invasive dermatological procedure in which fine sterilized needles are used to create microscopic punctures to the skin using a specialized tool. The induced trauma to the skin triggers the skin’s healing process to produce collagen and elastin, resulting in a healthier and more youthful appearance. Another benefit of the procedure is that it enables the skin to better absorb anti-aging products. Microneedling is also referred to as collagen induction therapy (CIT). It is a popular choice by both practitioners and patients due to its effectiveness in rejuvenation using the skin’s natural healing ability.

History of Microneedling

Microneedling is not a new cosmetic procedure. In fact, its origin dates back to ancient history. Microneedling was first introduced thousands of years ago as an acupuncture-type protocol in China and Asia. The first record of an actual procedure being performed was in 1905 by a dermatologist in Germany who used it to treat both scars and birth marks. In 1995, a physician in Philadelphia began using microneedling for scars, fine lines, and wrinkles.
