Microneedling / Derma Roller Treatment
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses tiny, controlled micro-injuries to stimulate the skin’s natural healing response. Performed using a derma roller or automated pen-like device, this treatment promotes collagen and elastin production, improves skin texture, and helps treat a variety of skin concerns including acne scars, fine lines, pigmentation, and enlarged pores.
At Phoenix Plastic Surgery Centre, Bangalore, we offer safe and customized microneedling sessions using sterile, medical-grade equipment and techniques, tailored to your skin type and goals. It’s an effective, evidence-based option for those seeking non-surgical skin rejuvenation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions of microneedling will I need?
This depends on your skin goals. Most patients see visible improvement after 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Acne scars or deeper skin concerns may need more sessions.
Is microneedling painful?
The procedure is well-tolerated with the use of topical numbing cream. You may feel a slight pricking sensation, but discomfort is minimal and temporary.
Can microneedling be combined with PRP or serums?
Combining microneedling with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) or growth factor serums enhances healing, collagen synthesis, and overall outcomes. This is especially helpful for acne scars and skin rejuvenation.
Is there any downtime after the procedure?
Mild redness and sensitivity may last 24–48 hours. Most people resume normal activities the next day with proper sun protection and skincare.
Is microneedling safe for dark or sensitive skin?
when performed professionally, microneedling is safe for all skin types and tones. However, it should be done under medical supervision to avoid pigmentation issues.
Can microneedling help with hair loss?
Microneedling of the scalp, often combined with PRP or hair serums, can stimulate dormant follicles and improve blood supply, potentially slowing down hair thinning.
Will there be visible results immediately?
You may notice a glow within a few days, but collagen remodeling and scar reduction typically show results after a few weeks and improve progressively over months.
Are at-home derma rollers safe or effective?
At-home rollers are not as effective or safe as clinical microneedling. They may not penetrate deeply enough for results and carry risks of infection if not sterilized properly. We recommend professional sessions for the best outcomes.
