Microneedling is a technique that consists of practicing on a targeted area micro-perforations using a small roller (roller / derma roller or meso roller) with fine needles, very short. The healing of these micro-perforations will result in a cellular renewal stimulating the elastin and collagen production. This process also has the effect of creating small channels that facilitate the penetration of active ingredients to the deeper layers of the dermis.
