Fine sterile needles create micro-channels that trigger your skin's own collagen and elastin production — for smoother, firmer, more even-toned skin.
Microneedling uses a device of fine, sterile needles to create hundreds of microscopic channels across the skin — channels too small to see, but enough to trigger your body's natural healing response.
As the skin repairs itself, it produces fresh collagen and elastin — the proteins responsible for firmness, smoothness and even tone. Over a course of sessions, this builds gradually into visibly healthier-looking skin.
At Dermatonik, microneedling is often paired with nourishing serums applied immediately after, while the skin's absorption is at its highest.
Hundreds of fine punctures per pass create controlled micro-injuries across the treated area.
This triggers the body's wound-healing response, laying down new collagen and elastin over the following weeks.
The micro-channels also dramatically improve how well serums applied immediately after are absorbed.
A gentler path to firmer, more even-looking skin.
Fresh collagen gradually smooths early lines and creases.
Pores appear tighter as skin texture improves.
Helps soften the appearance of shallow acne scars over time.
Serums applied right after penetrate far more effectively.
Skin looks fresher and more even as renewal kicks in.
Redness settles within a day or two for most patients.
Acne & scarring — results shown are from Dermatonik's skin-renewal protocols and may reflect a combination of treatments alongside microneedling.
Photographs shared with patient consent. Individual results vary; your dermatologist will set honest expectations at consultation.
Dr. Saeema Shiraaz examines your skin's texture, pores and scarring to plan needle depth and the number of passes.
A topical anaesthetic is applied for about 20 minutes so the session is comfortable.
A sterile micro-needling device is passed across the skin in controlled passes — you'll feel light vibration.
Nourishing serums are applied immediately after to maximise absorption. Redness settles within a day or two.

My skin texture has improved so much — fewer visible pores and a healthier glow.

Microneedling patient
Everything patients usually ask before their first microneedling session.
Microneedling alone works at a more superficial level and is gentler. MNRF adds radiofrequency for deeper remodelling. Dr. Saeema Shiraaz will recommend which — or whether both — suits your skin.
A numbing cream is applied first. Most patients feel mild pressure and vibration rather than pain.
Expect 24–48 hours of redness and sensitivity, similar to a light sunburn.
Typically 4–6 sessions, about a month apart, for cumulative improvement.
Yes — it's often paired with serum infusions, or alternated with facials like HydraFacial for ongoing maintenance.
Texture improvements build gradually over 4–8 weeks per session, with cumulative benefit across the full course.
