Microneedling

also dermarolling

Technique that makes tiny punctures in the scalp with fine needles

Collagen induction therapy (CIT), also known as microneedling, dermarolling, or skin needling, is a cosmetic procedure that involves repeatedly puncturing the skin with tiny, sterile needles. It is important to distinguish CIT from other contexts in which microneedling devices are used on the skin.
