• Microneedling, also known as collagen induction
  therapy has been introduced as early as the
  1900s and has gained popularity from the 1990s
  to the early 2000s. The demand for this
  multi-beneficial treatment is ever growing as
  technology continues to innovate what once began
  as a large drum like shaped roller to sleeker
  more efficient models. Advancing to even the
  creation of an automated electrical skin pen,
  often referred to as derma pen throughout this
  book. In this guide you will discover both
  the dermaroller and skin pen device methods and
  techniques. A microneedling skin treatment
  consists of ultra-fine surgical needles
  penetrating into layers of the skin, causing tiny
  abrasions. Subjecting the skin to these un
  harmful micro cuts signals the brain to promptly
  respond with our bodies' natural reaction and
  defense mechanism, the healing process. These
  mild injuries force the skin to renew itself, but
  we do not want to damage the skin severely.
  Therefore, microneedling is ideal to achieve safe
  temporary injuries. The positive effects of the
  healing process produce a boost in collagen and
  skin elasticity by creating thousands of new
  micro-channels. The production of collagen
  creates new tissue that repairs fine lines and
  scars over time. All skin types are suitable
  candidates?even darker skin tones.
