A new way to induce collagen production

Collagen Induction Therapy also known as medical skin needling or micro-needling is a new aesthetic medical procedure that induces the production of collagen in the skin. The procedure is administered by constantly puncturing the skin with tiny, evenly spaced, medical grade and sterile needles. Practitioners call the procedure minimally invasive. But the procedure is more effective on fine lines, wrinkles, and scars on the face as well as on the body. The idea is by damaging the skin, the procedure encourages collagen production thickening and plumping the skin.

In some cases the procedure result in discomfort and therefore, anesthetics are being used to minimize it. The procedure is suitable for any skin type but those who are looking to improve skin laxity and reduce wrinkles, smooth lines, and attempt to slowdown aging may benefit more. It is imperative to consult a medical expert before agreeing to the procedure. Application of topical anesthetic is more common before the procedure. After the procedure it is possible for the skin to turn pink and some may even experience bleeding. Dry skin could also be a risk of the procedure. Recovery takes 24 to 72 hours after the procedure.
