Micro-<br><em>needling</em>

Micro-needling is one of the most clinically proven skin renewal treatments available. By triggering the skin's own healing response, it produces remarkable improvements in texture, tone, scars, and firmness — with results that continue to develop for months after treatment.

Overview

What is Micro-needling?

Micro-needling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that uses a device equipped with ultra-fine sterile needles to create thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin's surface. These tiny punctures — invisible to the naked eye — trigger the skin's natural wound-healing cascade, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin fibres. The result is progressively firmer, smoother, and more youthful skin with improvements that build over weeks and months.

The Science

How It Works

The micro-needling device creates precise micro-injuries at controlled depths in the skin — ranging from 0.5mm to 2.5mm depending on the area and concern being treated. These micro-channels trigger a cascade of growth factors and cytokines, activating fibroblast cells to produce fresh collagen and elastin. Simultaneously, the micro-channels allow serums to penetrate up to 80% deeper than topical application alone. At Aesthetics by Ameera, we use medical-grade devices and pair treatment with potent growth factor serums for amplified results.

Why Choose This Treatment

Key Benefits

Collagen Induction

Stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin fibres, restoring skin structure and firmness naturally.

Scar Reduction

Highly effective for acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks — remodelling scar tissue from within.

Texture Refinement

Smooths rough, uneven skin texture and minimises the appearance of enlarged pores.

Pigmentation Improvement

Helps fade dark spots, sun damage, and melasma through accelerated skin cell turnover.

Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Softens fine lines and wrinkles through regenerative collagen remodelling.

Enhanced Product Absorption

Micro-channels allow serums to penetrate 80% deeper for dramatically amplified results.

The Process

Your Treatment Journey

Every step is designed to ensure your comfort, safety, and the best possible results. Here's what to expect during your visit.

Treatment results
1
Consultation & Skin Mapping

Your specialist assesses your skin, identifies areas of concern, and determines the appropriate needle depth and protocol for your skin type.

2
Cleansing & Numbing

The skin is thoroughly cleansed and a topical numbing cream is applied and left for 20–30 minutes for a comfortable treatment experience.

3
Serum Application

A specialised growth factor or hyaluronic acid serum is applied to the skin to be infused during the needling process for enhanced results.

4
Micro-needling Treatment

The device is passed systematically across the treatment area. You may feel a mild vibrating or scratching sensation. The procedure typically takes 20–30 minutes.

5
Post-Treatment Mask

A soothing, healing mask is applied to calm the skin and accelerate the recovery process immediately after needling.

6
Aftercare Instructions

You'll receive a tailored aftercare plan. Expect mild redness for 24–72 hours. Strict sun protection is essential for 1 week post-treatment.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Numbing cream is applied beforehand, making the procedure very comfortable. You'll feel some pressure or a mild scratching sensation, but not pain.

For general rejuvenation, 3 sessions are standard. For acne scarring or deeper concerns, 4–6 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart are typically recommended.

Skin will appear pink or flushed for 24–72 hours — similar to a mild sunburn. Most clients return to daily activities within 24 hours using mineral makeup.

Collagen production takes time. Initial smoothing is visible after 2–3 weeks; optimal results develop over 3–6 months as collagen remodelling occurs.

Yes — it is one of the most effective treatments for atrophic (pitted) acne scars. Results improve significantly across a course of 4–6 sessions.

Micro-needling is safe for most skin types, including darker complexions. It does not cause post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation when performed correctly.
