What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that uses a device with fine, sterile needles to create tiny micro-injuries in the skin.

These microchannels trigger the skin’s natural healing process, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin — two vital proteins responsible for keeping your skin firm, smooth, and youthful.

It’s a scientifically proven treatment that can dramatically improve:

• Acne scars and pitted scars

• Fine lines and wrinkles

• Stretch marks

• Uneven skin tone and texture

• Large pores

• Sun damage and pigmentation

• Overall dullness and aging signs

When performed by trained professionals using advanced devices, microneedling delivers visible results within weeks and continues to improve your skin over time.

Benefits of Microneedling

Microneedling is one of the most popular and effective skin treatments because it offers multiple benefits with minimal discomfort and no surgery.

Key Advantages:

• Boosts collagen and elastin production naturally

• Reduces acne scars and fine lines

• Improves skin texture, tone, and firmness

• Minimizes enlarged pores

• Fades pigmentation and stretch marks

• Enhances absorption of skincare products

• Minimal downtime and quick recovery

• Suitable for all skin types

Microneedling helps your skin look younger, smoother, and refreshed — not by adding chemicals, but by enhancing your body’s natural regeneration process.

Types of Microneedling Treatments in India

At One Life Medical Tourism’s partner clinics, you can access the latest microneedling techniques tailored to your specific skin concerns and goals:

1. Traditional Microneedling (Manual Pen or Roller)

A handheld device with fine needles is used to gently create micro-injuries in the skin to trigger collagen synthesis.

2. Microneedling with PRP (Vampire Facial)

Also known as the Platelet-Rich Plasma treatment, this advanced version combines microneedling with your body’s own PRP serum to accelerate healing and boost skin rejuvenation.

3. RF Microneedling (Radiofrequency)

This combines microneedling with controlled radiofrequency energy for deeper collagen remodeling, making it ideal for aging and sagging skin.

4. Microneedling with Vitamin Infusions or Growth Factors

Serums rich in vitamins, peptides, or hyaluronic acid are infused into the skin during the procedure for enhanced glow and hydration.

Each technique is recommended based on your skin type, age, and concerns, ensuring a safe and effective outcome.

Step-by-Step: The Microneedling Procedure

At One Life Medical Tourism’s partner cosmetic centers, the microneedling procedure is performed under the supervision of board-certified dermatologists using advanced medical-grade equipment.

Here’s what you can expect:

1. Consultation and Skin Analysis

Your dermatologist will conduct a detailed skin evaluation, discuss your goals, and determine the most suitable microneedling approach (with or without PRP or RF).

2. Preparation

The treatment area is cleaned thoroughly, and a topical numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort during the procedure.

3. Microneedling Process

A microneedling device (pen or roller) is gently moved across the skin, creating tiny microchannels. Depending on the depth and type, the process may take 20–45 minutes.

If you’re undergoing PRP microneedling, your blood is drawn, centrifuged to separate platelets, and the PRP serum is applied to enhance results.

4. Post-Treatment Care

After the session, soothing serums and sunscreen are applied. You may experience mild redness, similar to a sunburn, which subsides within 24–48 hours.

5. Results

Visible improvements appear within 2–3 weeks, with optimal results seen after 3–6 sessions, depending on your treatment plan.
