The concept of Micro Needling has in the recent years developed into a very exciting topic. 

The idea is that by creating trauma to the Dermis, Growth Factors are released, thus stimulating the formation of new healthy collagen. This process tightens the skin and reduces unsightly lines in even those very difficult to treat areas.

Areas that have been successfully treated are:

• Facial skin.
  
• Neck skin.
  
• Décolletage.
  
• Breasts.
  
• Tummy.
  
• Thighs.
  

Scar Management with Micro Needling:

The concept of new collagen formation is also applicable in the management of scars.

Scars can be very successfully managed by Micro Needling, leading to the reduction of the dimensions of a scar and making them much less obvious, thus reducing the mechanical limitations and psychological effects that they may have induced.
