MICRONEEDLING.
Collagen Induction Therapy, commonly known as microneedling, is a cosmetic procedure that uses tiny, sterile needles to create micro-channels in the skin. This controlled stimulation triggers the skin’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production, improving skin elasticity, and promoting a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Microneedling can address a variety of skin concerns and is suitable for most skin types. At Nova Skin & Aesthetics, treatments are tailored to your individual skin goals to ensure safe and effective results.
