Also known as collagen induction therapy, this treatment may help those looking to reduce the appearance of acne scars and stretch marks.
Microneedling (also known as skin needling or collagen induction therapy) is a type of treatment that uses small needles to cause tiny punctures in the skin. These small contact points encourage the body to create a wound healing response and renew the skin cells.

It can also help tackle other skin damage such as scarring, dark marks, sun damage and ageing.

Very good service from Dr Ali and the team who are approachable and easy to talk to. Recommended highly for information and expertise in this area.

Before getting started, your doctor will use a topical anesthetic to reduce the chances of pain. This is done about an hour before your treatment.
Your doctor may then apply a serum or calming treatment. In total, you can expect to be at the office for a couple of hours at least.
Microneedling is most often used on your face to target:
In addition to facial concerns, microneedling is sometimes used to treat stretch marks in other areas of the body
