Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that uses fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These microchannels trigger the body’s natural repair process, stimulating collagen and elastin production.
The treatment helps improve skin firmness, reduce fine lines, minimise scars, refine pores, and even out pigmentation. Devices used range from dermal rollers to automated microneedling pens and professional-grade medical systems.
Microneedling is suitable for individuals with acne scars, fine lines, uneven skin tone, large pores, or mild skin laxity. It works for most skin types except those with active infections or severe acne.
Microneedling can improve pigmentation caused by acne scars and uneven skin tone. However, for deeper pigmentation such as melasma or sunspots, combining with laser treatments may be more effective.
Microneedling prices vary depending on the device, depth, and treated areas. In Malaysia, sessions typically range from RM3,000 to RM3,200 per session.
No. Dermarollers use manual rolling with fixed-depth needles, while microneedling pens offer controlled, precise, adjustable needle depths and more hygienic, effective results.
