INTRODUCTION
Micro needling is the term that defines cosmetic process or procedure. It includes
pricking the skin with tiny or small sterilized needles. It causes small wounds to the body for
making more elastin and collagen. The collagen and elastin helps in healing healing skin and
assists people to look younger. It is also known as collagen induction therapy. This is the process
that is less expensive in comparison to laser treatments. It affects the pigmentation of skin and
colour according to the need of person. The current report focuses on information about micro
needling procedure. This report covers the various risks and benefits related to the micro
needling procedure (Starace and et. al. 2020). It has used secondary sources to gather
information about the process of micro needling. Micro needling is a procedure of minimally
invasive cosmetic process that is used for treating skin problems or concerns through collagen
production. It is also called collagen induction therapy as this treatment assists those people who
are looking forward to decrease the appearance of stretch marks and acne scars. It is also
considered in particular procedures of anti-ageing like sun spots and eyelid surgery. The micro
needling procedure is not helpful in hair loss despite the possible collagen role in the growth of
hair. The person who looks for micro needling procedure must be in good health and have
particular skin concerns that have not responded to home remedies or any other kinds of
dermatologic processes like peels (Bonati, Epstein and Strugar, 2017). Micro needling works by
encouraging person's skin by making more collagen. The idea is that pinpricks from the process
make small injury to the skin and that the skin responds by forming new collagen-rich tissue.
The new skin tissue turns more even in texture and tone.
