Dermatonik Bangalore, Microneedling

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the use of tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing response, leading to collagen and elastin production, which improves the skin’s texture and appearance.

Microneedling is effective in addressing various skin concerns, including acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone, enlarged pores, and overall skin texture irregularities. It can also improve the absorption of skincare products, enhancing their effectiveness.

When performed by trained professionals in a clinical setting like Dermatonik Clinic, microneedling is considered safe and minimally invasive. Our team follows strict protocols and uses sterile, high-quality equipment to ensure safety and efficacy.

Before the procedure, your skin will be cleansed, and a numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort. During the treatment, a handheld device with tiny needles will be gently rolled over the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries. You may experience mild redness and slight swelling post-treatment, which typically subsides within a few days.

The number of microneedling sessions needed varies depending on your skin concerns and goals. Generally, a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results. Our skincare experts at Dermatonik Clinic will assess your skin and customize a treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Most patients experience mild redness and swelling immediately after microneedling, similar to a sunburn. This usually resolves within 24 to 48 hours. You can resume normal activities with proper skincare and sun protection post-treatment.

Microneedling is generally well-tolerated, but mild side effects such as redness, swelling, and temporary sensitivity may occur. Serious complications are rare when the procedure is performed by trained professionals. It’s important to follow post-care instructions provided by our team to minimize any risks.

Microneedling is safe for most skin types, including sensitive skin. However, it may not be suitable for individuals with active skin infections, severe acne, or certain medical conditions. Our skincare experts will evaluate your skin during a consultation to determine if microneedling is right for you.

Yes, microneedling can be combined with other treatments such as PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy or topical serums to enhance results. Our team will recommend personalized treatment options based on your skin’s needs and goals.

The results of microneedling are long-lasting, as the collagen and elastin production stimulated by the treatment continue to improve skin texture and appearance over time. Maintenance sessions may be recommended to sustain optimal results.
