Skin needling
Skin needling, also called collagen induction therapy, uses fine needles to create tiny channels in the skin, with the aim of stimulating its natural repair process. It’s a well-established option for texture, fine lines and mild scarring.
All procedures carry risks and results vary. Read about recovery and risks below.
