Microneedling & Masking
One of the latest skincare procedures to gain popularity is microneedling. Simply put, microneedling – or collagen induction therapy (CIT) – involves running a needle-covered roller (or “dermaroller”) across the treatment area to puncture the surface layer of your skin, which boosts collagen production, heals scarring, and results in a smoother, healthier, and younger-looking complexion.
Microneedling has the benefit of escalating your skin’s ability to absorb serum and nutrients from your skincare regimen. However, because – as the name suggests – the technique involves literally making microscopic holes in your skin, doing it the wrong way or too often can result in adverse effects like skin irritation and discomfort. An easy way to avoid any backlash? You guessed it: masking.
