Microneedling is a process in which hundreds of tiny injections are made using a handheld “pen”. After applying the PRP on the skin, the pen creates tiny injection points, allowing the nutrient rich PRP to enter the skin at a deeper level. The result is an increase in collagen and elastin production, leaving the skin looking youthful and glowing.
