Unlike some heat-based treatments, microneedling works by creating controlled micro-channels in the skin without using heat or causing surface damage. This significantly reduces the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation when performed correctly. Treatment is carefully tailored, including needle depth, technique and aftercare, to suit your skin type and individual needs. When planned and delivered appropriately, microneedling can be a safe and effective option for improving skin texture, scarring and overall skin quality in darker skin tones."}
