Microneedling
Revitalise & Refine Your Skin — Naturally
At The Skin Doctors Clinic, microneedling (also known as skin needling or collagen induction therapy) is a clinically proven treatment that stimulates your skin’s natural repair and renewal process.
Using a precision medical device, ultra-fine needles create thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin. This gentle stimulation encourages the production of new collagen and elastin, helping to restore firmness, smoothness, and radiance over time.
- Applications: May support improvement in scars, fine lines, and uneven skin texture.
- Considerations: A gradual effect is expected over a series of treatments. Temporary redness, swelling, or mild discomfort are common.
How Microneedling Works | Microneedling activates the skin’s healing mechanisms through precisely controlled micro-injuries that:
The treatment can be performed at varying depths — up to 2.5 mm — depending on your skin thickness, treatment area, and goals. It may also be combined with topical skin boosters to enhance the diffusion of bioactive ingredients into the dermis, amplifying hydration and rejuvenation effects. |
Treatment Areas | Microneedling is most commonly performed on the:
It may also be used for scar rejuvenation or textural improvement on other parts of the body following professional assessment. |

This is a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure with minimal downtime when performed by trained professionals. |
The Treatment Experience
Before Your Treatment | A topical anaesthetic cream may be applied for comfort, although most clients tolerate the procedure well. Your practitioner will assess your skin and determine the appropriate needle depth based on your skin type and treatment goals. |
During Treatment | The device glides smoothly across the skin, creating fine micro-channels while stimulating the deeper layers. You may feel a mild prickling sensation. Treatment time is typically around 30 minutes, depending on the area treated and any additional steps such as topical boosters. |
After Treatment | Mild redness or sensitivity may occur for 24–48 hours as part of the skin’s natural recovery process. To support comfort and expedite recovery, microneedling can be combined with LED light therapy and algae-based soothing masks, which help calm the skin and enhance post-treatment hydration. Your practitioner will recommend a tailored post-care routine, which may include hydrating serums and sun protection (SPF 30+). It’s important to avoid direct sun exposure and active skincare ingredients (e.g. retinol, acids) for several days. |
Treatment Schedule
A course of four sessions spaced several weeks apart is typically recommended to progressively stimulate collagen production.
Maintenance sessions every few months may help sustain skin texture and firmness improvements.
Your practitioner will design a treatment plan suited to your skin’s condition and goals.
Combination Therapy
For specific concerns such as hyperpigmentation or melasma, microneedling can be combined with prescription brightening formulations under medical supervision.
During your consultation, Dr Jimmy Wang can recommend the most suitable complementary treatments and skincare to optimise results.
