The prospect of inflicting “micro-injuries” in your skin to improve its complexion may sound quite awry, but micro-needling does exactly that.

Micro-needling, also referred to as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), is a minimally invasive procedure for skin rejuvenation that stimulates and increases collagen production.

Collagen is a natural wonder treatment responsible for improving skin defects such as wrinkles, scarring and hyperpigmentation. Though the procedure is widely gaining popularity, it is also misunderstood and is bedevilled with a lot of misconceptions. So in this article, we’ll look at five micro-needling facts you need to know.
