Microneedling is a simple, safe, and minimally invasive skin treatment that helps improve scars, marks, and overall skin texture. It works using very fine needles that create tiny micro-channels on the skin surface. This controlled stimulation encourages your skin to produce more collagen and elastin—two essential building blocks for firm, healthy, youthful-looking skin.
At Kamya Aesthetics, we often receive questions about how microneedling works, where it is used, and what kind of results you can expect. This blog answers all the common queries to help you make an informed choice.
Where is microneedling used?
Microneedling can be performed on different parts of the body, but the most common area is the face. It is also used on the neck, arms, legs, abdomen, and other areas depending on your concern and skin condition.
What concerns can microneedling treat?
Microneedling is widely used for improving:
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Acne scars and other scarring
- Fine lines, wrinkles, and early signs of aging
- Enlarged/open pores
- Pigmentation concerns and dullness
- Stretch marks
- Loose or uneven skin texture after weight loss or delivery
- Hair-related concerns like alopecia (in selected cases, as advised by a specialist)
- Skin rejuvenation and overall glow
Collagen production naturally reduces with age, which can make skin look less firm and more tired over time. Microneedling supports your skin’s natural repair response and encourages collagen renewal for a fresher, smoother appearance.
Types of microneedling devices
With modern advancements, multiple devices are available for microneedling. Here are the most common types:
1) Dermaroller
A dermaroller is a handheld device with a rolling head fitted with fine needles. It creates controlled micro-injuries that trigger collagen production. Dermarollers are commonly available for home use, but results depend heavily on needle depth, pressure, hygiene, and technique.
Important note: At-home rollers may not provide the depth or precision needed for professional-level outcomes. Improper use can also irritate the skin, so expert guidance is always recommended.
2) Derma Stamp
A derma stamp works using a “stamping” motion rather than rolling. It offers better precision for certain areas and concerns. Derma stamps may also be available for home use, but needle length selection and proper usage are crucial for safety and results.
3) Professional Microneedling Pen Devices
In-clinic microneedling is often performed with advanced automated pen devices that allow controlled depth, speed, and uniform coverage. These are preferred for delivering more consistent and targeted results across different skin concerns.
4) Fractional Microneedling Radiofrequency (MNRF)
MNRF combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy delivered into deeper skin layers. It is used for concerns like acne scars, pores, wrinkles, and skin tightening. This method is often chosen for deeper rejuvenation and texture correction, with minimal downtime when performed by trained experts.
5) Light-Assisted Microneedling (Microneedling + LED)
Microneedling is sometimes combined with LED light therapy to support skin recovery and enhance overall glow. Different light wavelengths may be used depending on the concern—like acne support or rejuvenation.
Steps involved in a microneedling session at Kamya Aesthetics
A typical microneedling session includes:
- Skin cleansing and preparation
- Topical numbing cream application for comfort
- Microneedling performed evenly across the targeted area
- The session usually takes around 30–45 minutes (depending on the area)
- Application of a soothing serum or calming product to support recovery
- In some cases, PRP (platelet-rich plasma) may be recommended for enhanced results (as advised by the doctor)
Benefits of microneedling
Microneedling offers multiple skin benefits, including:
- Boosts collagen and elastin production
- Smoothens acne scars and improves texture
- Reduces fine lines and early wrinkles
- Helps refine pores
- Improves overall tone, firmness, and radiance
- Supports better absorption of dermatologist-recommended serums
- Works well for multiple skin concerns, making it a versatile option
Most people can return to normal routine quickly, and the procedure is generally comfortable when performed under expert care.
What to do before your appointment
Before your microneedling consultation at Kamya Aesthetics, keep these points in mind:
- Note down any medical conditions you have
- Share all medications, supplements, and known allergies
- Avoid scheduling the session right before a major event, as mild redness can be visible for a short period
- Keep expectations realistic—results vary depending on skin condition, concern severity, and aftercare
Who should avoid microneedling?
Microneedling may not be suitable if you have:
- Active eczema, psoriasis flare-ups, or open sores
- Ongoing skin infections
- A recent history of radiation treatment
- Pregnancy (as advised by your doctor)
- Hypertrophic scars or a tendency for keloids
At Kamya Aesthetics, we perform a detailed skin analysis before recommending any procedure, to ensure it is safe and appropriate for you.
What results can you expect after microneedling?
After your session, you may notice:
- Redness for a short period (commonly 1–3 days depending on skin sensitivity)
- Temporary sun sensitivity—sun protection is essential
- Skin may feel slightly tight or warm for a while
You may start noticing visible improvement in texture and glow in the following weeks. Full results typically develop gradually as collagen builds. For many concerns like scars and pigmentation, multiple sessions are recommended, and your dermatologist will guide you on the right frequency.
Post-procedure care at Kamya Aesthetics
After microneedling, aftercare plays a major role in your results:
- Use only the skincare products recommended by your doctor
- Apply sunscreen daily and avoid direct sun exposure
- Avoid harsh scrubs or active ingredients unless advised
- You can usually resume makeup after about 12 hours (or as guided)
- Follow the recommended follow-up schedule for best outcomes
Clinic microneedling vs. home derma rollers: what’s the difference?
This is a common question. The biggest difference is precision, safety, and results.
- Home rollers typically have limited depth and may not effectively stimulate collagen for real scar or texture improvement.
- Professional microneedling uses controlled needle depth and medical-grade hygiene standards.
- Treatment settings are customized based on your skin concern, sensitivity, and goals.
For noticeable and long-lasting improvement, professional microneedling at Kamya Aesthetics is the safest and most effective option.
If you’ve been dealing with scars, pigmentation, open pores, or early signs of aging, microneedling can be an excellent step toward healthier-looking skin. With the right assessment, correct technique, and proper aftercare, it can deliver smoothness, glow, and long-term skin improvement.
