What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy (CIT), uses fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin's surface. These micro-injuries trigger your body's natural healing response — stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for youthful, firm, smooth skin.
At Sculptrice Aesthetics, microneedling is performed by Susanna with meticulous precision and care. The treatment is customized to your skin's specific concerns, ensuring optimal depth and coverage for maximum results with minimal discomfort.
The result is visibly smoother, firmer, and more even skin — with improvements that continue to develop over the weeks following treatment as new collagen matures.
