Summary
This pilot study tested a micro-coring device on 45 people to see if it can safely reduce wrinkles and skin laxity in the face. The device uses tiny hollow needles to remove small cores of skin, which triggers the body to produce new collagen and elastin. The goal was to improve wrinkle and laxity scores by at least one grade.
