Collagen Induction

Microneedling

Controlled micro-injuries trigger collagen production, improving fine lines, pore size, tone and superficial scarring.

Overview

Medical microneedling — often combined with PRP or radiofrequency — induces a natural wound-healing response that remodels the dermis. The result is firmer, smoother skin over a series of three to six sessions.

How it works

Motorised pens create thousands of controlled micro-punctures at depths from 0.25–3 mm. The controlled wound-healing response stimulates fibroblast activity and new collagen production. RF-enhanced versions add thermal energy through insulated needles for deeper remodeling.

Who it's for

  • Enlarged pores, uneven texture, dull skin
  • Fine lines and early photoageing
  • Mild-to-moderate acne scarring (RF versions preferred for depth)
  • All skin types — RF energy is colour-blind

Benefits

  • +Improves texture, pores and tone
  • +Safe across all Fitzpatrick phototypes
  • +Short downtime (24–48 hours)
  • +Effective when serialised (3–6 sessions)

Risks & considerations

  • Redness and pinpoint bleeding for 24 hours
  • Very rare tram-tracking with poor technique
  • Post-inflammatory pigmentation if sun-exposed too early

Recovery

24–48 hours of visible redness. Avoid active skincare (retinoids, acids) for 5 days and strict SPF for 4 weeks.
