What Is Dry Needling?
Dry needling uses small sterile needles that target specific areas of your face to stimulate collagen production. Collagen is a protein responsible for the plumpness and elasticity of your skin that diminishes with age. The idea behind dry needling is that it makes controlled micro-injuries within the target zone, promoting your body’s natural healing ability. This will lead to the creation of two key proteins – collagen as well as elastin – which give the skin its youthful firmness and bounce.
