Microneedling

Microneedling – Skin Renewal, Texture Refinement & Collagen Stimulation

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, uses ultra-fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This triggers the body’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production while enhancing the absorption of active skincare ingredients. The result is smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.

Ideal for those wanting to reduce acne scars, fine lines, or enlarged pores without aggressive treatments, microneedling offers gradual, natural improvements with minimal downtime.

What to Expect:

  • Duration: 45–60 minutes
  • Pain Level: Mild to moderate (numbing cream applied beforehand)
  • Downtime: 1–3 days of redness; possible flaking or dryness
  • Sessions Recommended: 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart
  • Visible Results: First improvements after 1–2 sessions; best results gradually over time
  • Effect Duration: Long-term with maintenance and skincare

Ideal For:

  • Acne scars and enlarged pores
  • Uneven skin tone or texture
  • Fine lines and early ageing
  • Stretch marks
  • Skin dullness and loss of firmness
