Collagen Induction Therapy is often a procedure that involves a trip to the doctors (or a specialist). However, micro-needling is a form of collagen induction therapy which can be carried out in your own home, in your own time; this reduces wrinkles, improves acne scarring and reduces stretchmarks.

A common factor in the formation of scars, wrinkles, stretch marks and uneven skin is a lack of collagen. Using a skin roller stimulates collagen production in the skin, preventing and even reversing their formation.

Skin needling (microneedling) is a procedure carried out using a skin roller that is covered with several tiny needles. These needles break the topmost layer of skin and gently part the pores of the skin. This method has 2 big advantages; it competently encourages collagen formation at the same time as providing a clear channel for creams applied to the skin to be absorbed more easily through the topmost layer (epidermis) of skin. Skin needling creates a very minor trauma which lasts for a short period of time and doesn’t cause the skin to break or bleed in the treated area in the way that laser therapy or microdermabrasion do.

The microscopic punctures (which are often just the opening of the pores of your skin) caused by the micro needling, encourage collagen production in the dermis layer and it creates an appropriate environment for collagen and elastin formation. These key factors help the skin to cosmetically renew.

There are several alternatives to microneedling, most of which require visits to clinical beauticians or other specialists. These include laser therapy and Micro-Dermabrasion. Using a skin roller at home is generally much cheaper.
