Collagen induction therapy, also known as microneedling, dermarolling, or skin needling, is a cosmetic procedure that involves repeatedly puncturing the skin with tiny, sterile needles. Microneedling works by encouraging your skin to make more collagen. The idea is that pinpricks from the procedure cause slight injury to the skin and that the skin responds by making new collagen-rich tissue. This new skin tissue is, in turn, more even in tone and texture. It’s normal for the skin to lose collagen via age or injury. By encouraging the skin to make new tissue, there may be more collagen to help make the skin firmer, too. Microneedling is most often used on your face to target: • Acne scars • Age spots (also called “sun spots”) • Fine lines and wrinkles • Large pores • Other types of scars • Reduced skin elasticity • Uneven skin tone In addition to facial concerns, microneedling is sometimes used to treat stretch marks in other areas of the body. Like all cosmetic procedures, microneedling isn’t without risk. The most common side effect is minor skin irritation immediately following the procedure. You may also see redness for a few days. You may not be an ideal candidate for microneedling if you: • Are pregnant/breastfeeding • Have certain skin diseases, such as psoriasis or eczema • Have active acne • Have open wounds • Have had radiation therapy recently • Have a history of skin scars To maintain the results of your treatment, you’ll need multiple sessions and perhaps other complementing treatments.
