Microneedling
What They Do For Your Skin
Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses a device equipped with fine, sterile needles to create thousands of microscopic channels in the skin's surface. These controlled micro-injuries trigger the body's natural wound-healing response — stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin fibres that rebuild the skin from within. The result is progressively firmer, smoother, and more even skin with continued improvement over time.
At Derma Skin Clinic, our dermatologists assess your skin type, tone, and specific concerns before selecting the appropriate needle depth and treatment protocol for your individual needs. Whether you are targeting acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, stretch marks, or overall skin texture, our microneedling treatments are performed with clinical precision to deliver visible, lasting results safely for all skin tones.
Skin Assessment & Consultation
Our dermatologist evaluates your skin type, tone, and specific concerns to determine the most appropriate needle depth and treatment protocol — ensuring the procedure is tailored, safe, and effective for your individual skin.
Skin Preparation
A topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area 30 to 45 minutes before the procedure begins to ensure your comfort throughout. The skin is then thoroughly cleansed and prepped for treatment.
Microneedling Treatment
The microneedling device is glided across the skin in a controlled, systematic pattern — creating precise micro-channels at the selected depth. A nourishing serum is applied simultaneously to penetrate deeply into the skin through the open channels for enhanced results.
Recovery & Results
A soothing serum and broad-spectrum SPF are applied immediately after treatment. The skin begins its natural renewal process within 24 hours. Mild redness typically resolves within 1 to 2 days and visible improvements in texture and tone emerge progressively over the following weeks.

Is microneedling painful?

How many microneedling sessions will I need?
How many microneedling sessions will I need?
Most patients achieve significant improvement after 3 to 6 sessions spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart. The exact number depends on the skin concern being treated and its severity. Acne scars and stretch marks may require more sessions than general texture improvement. Your dermatologist will recommend a personalised treatment plan during your consultation.
