When aging starts occurring in our body, our skin loses elastin and collagen. These are the main proteins in the body that give the skin its buoyancy and thickness. They are also responsible for the thickness and strength of the skin. Micro-needling is used to create microchannels on the skin so that it is used to re-generate these proteins to provide anti-aging capabilities in the human skin. For this reason, the skin will start appearing smoother because of the production of these essential building blocks.
