Microneedling has become such a sought after skin treatment because it solves the following problems:

• It reduces fine lines and wrinkles
  Microneedling stimulates the skin to generate collagen and elastin by making small punctures in the skin.

  As you age, your skin starts producing a lesser amount of collagen which gives the skin a dull and wrinkled appearance. Microneedling is effective in correcting damaged skin.
