Microneedling: Advanced Collagen Induction Therapy

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a proven treatment for acne scars, stretch marks, wrinkles, and overall skin rejuvenation. Using a device with fine medical-grade needles, we create controlled micro-injuries that trigger your skin’s natural healing response, producing new collagen and elastin.

How Microneedling Works

The treatment uses a drum-shaped roller or automated pen device studded with fine microneedles (0.5-1.5mm in length). As the needles create tiny punctures in the skin:

Healing Response Triggered - Skin recognizes micro-injuries and begins repair Collagen Production - Fibroblasts produce new collagen and elastin Skin Remodeling - Over time, scars fill in and skin texture improves Enhanced Absorption - Micro-channels allow better penetration of serums and treatments

Conditions We Treat

Acne Scars - Rolling, boxcar, and shallow ice pick scars Stretch Marks - On abdomen, thighs, arms, and breasts Fine Lines - Around eyes, mouth, and forehead Wrinkles - Sun damage and age-related skin aging Large Pores - Reduces pore size and refines skin texture Uneven Tone - Improves overall skin appearance

The Treatment Process

  1. Consultation - Skin assessment and treatment planning
  2. Preparation - Skin cleansed and topical anesthetic applied
  3. Treatment - Microneedling performed across treatment area
  4. Serum Application - Growth factors or serums applied for enhanced absorption
  5. Aftercare - Soothing serum and sunscreen applied

What to Expect

During Treatment: Mild prickling sensation; numbing ensures comfort Day 1-2: Redness and slight swelling (like a sunburn) Day 3-5: Skin may feel tight or flaky as it heals Week 2+: Fresh, renewed skin emerges

Enhanced Results with PRP

Combining microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) significantly enhances results. The micro-channels created allow PRP’s growth factors to penetrate deeply, accelerating healing and collagen production.

Treatment Protocol

Session Frequency: Every 4-6 weeks Number of Sessions: 3-6 for optimal results Maintenance: Annual treatments to maintain improvement

Treatment time: 30-60 minutes Recovery: 2-5 days of redness Results: Progressive improvement with each session

Frequently Asked Questions about Microneedling

How does microneedling improve acne scars?

Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries that trigger the skin's healing response, producing new collagen and elastin to fill in and smooth acne scars.

How many microneedling sessions do I need?

Most patients see significant improvement after 3-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Deeper scars may require additional treatments.

Is microneedling painful?

Topical numbing cream is applied before treatment, making it comfortable. You may feel mild pressure and a prickling sensation.

What is the downtime after microneedling?

Expect redness similar to a sunburn for 2-3 days. Most patients return to normal activities within 48 hours, with makeup application possible after 24 hours.

Can microneedling be combined with PRP?

Yes, combining microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) enhances results by delivering growth factors directly into the micro-channels for accelerated healing and collagen production.
