Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), is a minimally invasive procedure that utilizes sterile, fine-gauge needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the epidermis and superficial dermis. These microchannels stimulate the skin’s natural wound healing response, resulting in the release of growth factors and the upregulation of collagen and elastin synthesis. Microneedling is a foundational treatment in aesthetic medicine, improving skin tone, texture, and overall dermal architecture.
The mechanical stimulus from microneedles initiates a three-phase wound healing cascade:
Microneedling is clinically indicated for:
A topical anesthetic is applied pre-procedure to ensure patient comfort. Post-treatment erythema, warmth, and mild edema are expected and typically resolve within 24–72 hours. Downtime is minimal, and makeup may generally be resumed after 24 hours. Depending on indication and skin condition, a protocol of 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is recommended. Combination with PRP/PRF or medical-grade serums may enhance reparative outcomes.
Microneedling is a scientifically supported, low-risk regenerative therapy that offers significant clinical improvement in skin texture, firmness, and scarring. Its versatility and safety profile make it a cornerstone modality in aesthetic skin rejuvenation.
