Microchanneling in Boston, MA
Microchanneling
Microchanneling, or collagen induction therapy, is a cutting-edge cosmetic procedure that works wonders for rejuvenating your skin’s appearance. Through the use of a specialized device, tiny, fine needles create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing response, prompting collagen and elastin production—the building blocks of youthful, supple skin. As the skin heals and regenerates, it becomes firmer, smoother, and more radiant.Microchanneling can target various skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven texture. It is a versatile and increasingly popular choice for non-surgical skin rejuvenation.
