Micro Needling
Micro needling is a minimally invasive treatment to rejuvenate the skin, effective for scars, wrinkles, and large pores.
Micro needling is a cosmetic procedure that involves pricking the skin with tiny sterilized needles. The small wounds cause your body to produce more collagen and elastin, which heal your skin and help you look younger. It’s primarily used on the face and may treat various scars, wrinkles, and large pores.
Price Packages

FAQs
Overview
Micro needling helps in reducing scars, wrinkles, and large pores, promoting smoother and more youthful skin.
The procedure may cause slight discomfort, but it's generally well-tolerated with the use of a numbing cream.
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a cosmetic procedure that involves using a device with fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin's surface. This stimulates the skin's natural healing process, leading to increased collagen and elastin production, which helps improve skin texture, tone, and firmness.
Results
While individual results may vary, many people start to notice improvements in their skin's texture and appearance within a few weeks after microneedling. Full results usually become more apparent over the following months as collagen production continues.
Acne Scars
Yes, microneedling is an effective treatment for reducing the appearance of acne scars. By stimulating collagen production and promoting skin regeneration, microneedling can help improve the texture and smoothness of acne-scarred skin over time.
Eligibility
Microneedling is generally safe for all skin types, including sensitive skin, as long as it is performed by a qualified and experienced practitioner. However, people with certain skin conditions or active infections may not be suitable candidates for microneedling.
Treatment Frequency
The frequency of microneedling treatments depends on individual skin concerns and treatment goals. For most people, a series of sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is recommended to achieve optimal results.
Combination Treatments
Yes, microneedling can be combined with other skin treatments such as PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy, topical serums, or chemical peels to enhance results and address specific skin concerns like hyperpigmentation or fine lines.
Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Microneedling stimulates collagen and elastin production in the skin, which helps improve skin elasticity and firmness, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time.
Procedure
During a microneedling treatment, your skin will be cleansed and numbed with a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort. The microneedling device will then be gently passed over the treatment area, creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin.
Recovery
Recovery time after microneedling is minimal for most people, with mild redness and swelling typically subsiding within a few days. It's important to follow post-treatment care instructions provided by your practitioner to optimize healing.
Stretch Marks
Yes, microneedling can help improve the appearance of stretch marks by stimulating collagen production and promoting skin regeneration in the affected areas, leading to smoother and more even-looking skin.
Hyperpigmentation
Microneedling can help improve hyperpigmentation by promoting exfoliation and increasing the penetration of topical lightening agents into the skin. Over time, microneedling stimulates collagen production, leading to a more even skin tone.
Pain Management
While some discomfort may be experienced during microneedling, especially in more sensitive areas of the face, topical numbing cream is applied before the treatment to minimize pain and discomfort.
Body Treatments
Yes, microneedling can be performed on various areas of the body to address concerns such as scarring, stretch marks, and uneven skin texture. Common treatment areas include the chest, back, arms, and thighs.
Enlarged Pores
Microneedling can help reduce the appearance of enlarged pores by stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin, which helps improve skin texture and refine pore size over time.
Surgical Scars
Yes, microneedling can help improve the appearance of surgical scars by promoting collagen production and remodeling the scar tissue, leading to smoother and less visible scars over time.
Aging Skin
Microneedling benefits aging skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production, which helps improve skin elasticity, firmness, and texture. It can also reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots.
