Introduction
Microneedling is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses a device to create micro-penetrations on the skin’s surface using ultrafine needles. This induces collagen production that heals these micro-wounds and creates new skin with reduced blemishes, fine lines, wrinkles, and sunspots. Microneedling is perfect for clients who are not interested in invasive and surgical procedures. If you are interested in microneedling in Salt Lake City, consider scheduling a consultation with triple board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Scott Urban at Utah Facial Surgical Arts in West Jordan.

The ultrafine holes trigger the body to create collagen and elastin for their healing. These proteins are naturally occurring building blocks of our skin; hence, they create a smoother layer of skin that is rid it of blemishes and damage.
