What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to improve skin texture and appearance by stimulating the body’s natural healing process. It involves using a device fitted with fine needles to create tiny, controlled micro-injuries on the surface of the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the production of collagen and elastin, essential proteins that help keep the skin firm, smooth, and youthful.
Microneedling is often used to address various skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, and stretch marks. It can also enhance the absorption of topical skincare products, making them more effective. The procedure is safe for most skin types, has minimal downtime, and delivers noticeable results after a few sessions.
Typically performed by a dermatologist or licensed professional, microneedling can be customized based on the individual’s skin concerns. While it’s commonly done on the face, it can also be applied to other areas of the body.

It’s important to consult with Dr. Kanika Govil, who is board-certified in procedural medicine, to determine the most suitable serums and microneedling approach for your specific skin concerns and goals.
