Introduction
Micro needle may be the solution when it comes to treating acnes scars in the most effective, yet least invasive, manner. Micro needling is popular in Dubai with both the patients and the professionals of the skincare sector, because it can help in enhancing the texture and color of your skin, by stimulating natural collagen syntheses.

What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling or collagen induction therapy is a procedure that entails the use of a tool with fine needles that induce micro-injuries in the skin. This micro-channel activates the healing process of your body, and it produces more collagen and elastin. This results in more firm and smooth skin as time goes by and the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, and pigmentation is lessened.
Microneedling may be done using:
