It’s also called skin needling, collagen induction therapy (CIT), and percutaneous collagen induction (PCI). Micro needling for fine lines is the latest trend in this quest to stay youthful. It’s a procedure that uses fine needles to puncture the skin and create a controlled skin injury in order to rejuvenate skin.

During the procedure, a topical anesthetic is applied and then a pen like tool called a derma roller is used to insert tiny stainless steel needles into the skin to cause micro injuries or punctures. The idea is that the damage caused by the needles encourages your body to send healing agents (elastin and collagen) to the cuts to repair them.

By making tiny columns of trauma in the dermis, the body is forced to make new collagen to fill them in and heal them. This new collagen makes skin look and feel slicker, tighter, and more youthful. Because the sun breaks down collagen, and our skin naturally makes less collagen as we age, any intervention that encourages increased collagen synthesis can make skin look and act younger. After the procedure, a collagen enhancing serum is applied.

If we have sensitive skin, we must be very careful when applying any topical serums or products with active ingredients after the treatment. Our skin will become more sensitized after the treatment because it is already inflamed. Also, by making tiny channels in the skin, it allows product to get deeper into the skin, which can be more irritating.

To speed up collagen synthesis, one can perform a procedure known as a Vampire Facelift, which involves withdrawing a person's blood and processing it to create PRP. After the micro needling is done, the one can topically apply the patient's PRP onto the skin, which releases growth factors and quickens the healing process. As with any minimally invasive procedure, the best results come to those patients who use micro needling as a part of a larger skin care and skin anti-aging regimen for promoting health glowing skin.

However, like any procedure, micro needling can cause possible complications, including bleeding, bruising, infection, scarring, and pigment problems.
