Microneedling is a treatment program for acne scars and enlarged pores that uses small needles to stimulate collagen and elastin fiber production. This tightens and smoothens the pores. It also helps treat acne scars, reduce acne, and fade dark spots. It does not make the skin sensitive to light and does not require a long recovery time like laser treatments.

What is Microneedling Program?

Microneedling program is a procedure that involves the use of tiny needles, typically ranging from 0.5 mm to 2.5 mm in length, to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the skin’s natural healing mechanisms and promotes the production of collagen and elastin. As a result, the skin becomes smoother, brighter, and more youthful, while helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines, deep wrinkles, scars, and hyperpigmentation.

This treatment is non-invasive and aims to rejuvenate the skin by enhancing its texture and tone over time.

Working Principle

During the treatment, whitening or collagen-stimulating medications can be applied. Micro needles from the needles help the medication penetrate directly into the skin. The doctor will choose the appropriate medication for each case based on the individual’s skin problem.

Are there any side effects?

After the treatment, the skin may appear red for the first 1-2 hours. The redness will typically decrease by about 50% the following day. The side effects are minimal, and it generally does not impact daily activities.

How often should the treatment be done to see results?

Results can be seen with just one treatment per month. However, the frequency may vary depending on the individual’s skin condition and specific concerns. It is advisable to follow the treatment plan recommended by a qualified professional to achieve the best outcome.
