Often described as minimally invasive, skin needling works by fine needles in the device causing punctures to the skin, these punctures therefore promote the release of the skins inflammation response. This natural response in the skin leads to the production of new collagen, elastin and capillaries within the skin. This production allows for improvement in skin texture, scarring, overall appearance of the skin through firmness and hydration.
