Purpose of the Test

Micro Needling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, involves using a device with tiny needles to create micro-injuries on the skin, which in turn stimulates the body’s natural healing process and increases collagen and elastin production. The procedure can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and other skin imperfections.
