    minimally invasive procedure using fine needles to stimulate collagen

    Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using a device with fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body's natural wound healing processes, leading to increased collagen and elastin production, which can improve skin texture, reduce scars, and promote hair growth in cases of alopecia.
