For this purpose glycolic acid, lactic acid, etc, are used which peel off and exfoliate the outer skin and thus, help in producing new collagen, which provide firmness to the skin. Derma rolling or micro needle is the treatment involving a rolling cylinder covered with a tiny needle which moves over the skin, the needle may cause a little pain as if a bee sting but removes fine lines and wrinkles and scars effectively. The damage caused by the needle to the skin stimulates the cell to produce growth enzymes and proteins which produce collagen and aid in the anti-ageing process.
