What is the benefits of using a Microneedling Pen for acne scars?

• Stimulates collagen production: The tiny punctures created by the needles trigger your body's natural healing process, leading to increased collagen production. Collagen helps to plump the skin and reduce the appearance of scars.  

• Improves skin texture: Microneedling Pen can help to improve the overall texture of your skin, making it smoother and more even-toned.  

• Reduces pore size: The process can help to shrink enlarged pores, which can contribute to acne breakouts.
