Skin Needling Dee Why – Collagen Induction Therapy

What is Skin Needling?

Kalana Natural Rejuvenation Clinic is the leading skin specialist for Skin Needling located conveniently in Dee Why, Sydney.

Skin needling, also known as microneedling or Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), is a cosmetic procedure that involves using a device with fine needles to create thousands of tiny, controlled punctures in the skin. These punctures create channels into the epidermis and sometimes dermis layers of the skin, which release growth factors that get diffused into surrounding tissues, attracting cells to the area. It also enables targeted serums to be absorbed more readily.

This process stimulates the body’s natural healing response, promoting collagen and elastin production, which can improve the skin’s texture, firmness, and overall appearance.
