About Microneedling
Microneedling (collagen induction therapy) creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate natural collagen and elastin production. This versatile treatment effectively addresses acne scars, melasma, fine lines, large pores, and overall skin texture.
Microneedling (collagen induction therapy) is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that uses fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates your body's natural healing response, triggering the production of new collagen and elastin — the building blocks of youthful, firm skin.
At Aestique Clinic, we use medical-grade microneedling devices with adjustable needle depths for precise treatment. We often combine microneedling with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) for enhanced results, a combination known as a "Vampire Facial" that accelerates healing and boosts collagen production.

Am I a Good Candidate?
Microneedling may be right for you if you:
- Have acne scars, surgical scars, or stretch marks you want to improve
- Want to address fine lines and early wrinkles
- Have enlarged pores or rough skin texture
- Experience dull, tired-looking skin that lacks radiance
- Want a non-surgical anti-aging treatment with minimal downtime
- Do not have active acne, skin infections, or conditions like eczema/rosacea in the treatment area
Recovery & Aftercare
Microneedling recovery is minimal:
- Day 1: Skin appears red and flushed, similar to a sunburn. Mild tightness and sensitivity.
- Days 2-3: Redness fades. Skin may feel dry and tight. Gentle moisturizer and SPF are essential.
- Days 3-5: Skin may lightly flake or peel. This is normal and should not be picked at.
- Week 1: Skin looks and feels noticeably smoother and more radiant.
- Weeks 4-6: Collagen remodeling continues. Visible improvement in scars, texture, and firmness. Optimal results after a series of 3-6 treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many microneedling sessions do I need?
For general skin rejuvenation, 3-4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart are recommended. For acne scars, 4-6 sessions may be needed. Maintenance treatments every 3-6 months help sustain results.
Is microneedling painful?
A topical numbing cream is applied 30-45 minutes before treatment, making the procedure comfortable. Most patients describe the sensation as a mild vibrating or scratching feeling.
What is the difference between microneedling and a derma roller?
Medical-grade microneedling uses motorized devices with precise needle depth control, performed by trained professionals under sterile conditions. At-home derma rollers are less effective and can be risky if not used properly.
Can microneedling be combined with PRP?
Yes, combining microneedling with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) from your own blood enhances results by flooding the micro-channels with growth factors. This "Vampire Facial" combination accelerates healing and boosts collagen production.
