It may seem counterintuitive to damage your skin to make it better and to appear younger. But that is what microneedling does. Your skin is intentionally damaged to reverse the signs of aging, get rid of acne scarring, improve skin tone, and give your skin more elasticity. As you get older the body loses moisture and elasticity in the skin. These contribute to skin that can look dull, wrinkled, and crepey. By puncturing the skin with tiny needles, the skin will draw moisture in and start to produce the protein, collagen. Collagen is the protein that helps give skin its elasticity, making it tighter, thus reducing the look of fine lines, wrinkles, and some scarring.
