Microneedling – Collagen Induction Therapy
Skin Renewal · Texture Refinement · Collagen Support
Microneedling is a professional skin rejuvenation treatment designed to improve the appearance of uneven texture, enlarged pores, acne scars, fine lines and selected other skin concerns. At Glowvia Beauty Lab, treatments are personalised according to your skin condition and individual goals.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), uses a professional device fitted with fine, sterile needles to create controlled microscopic channels in the skin.
These micro-injuries activate the skin's natural repair response and support collagen and elastin remodelling over time. Traditional microneedling works through mechanical stimulation rather than radiofrequency heat or laser energy.
What Can Microneedling Help With?
Acne Scars & Uneven Texture — May help improve the appearance of selected depressed acne scars through gradual collagen remodelling.
Enlarged Pores — Improvements in overall texture can make pores appear less noticeable.
Fine Lines & Early Ageing — Supports smoother, firmer-looking skin over time.
Dull & Rough-Looking Skin — Helps refine uneven skin texture and support a fresher-looking complexion.
Selected Body Scars & Stretch Marks — May be considered for suitable mature scars or stretch marks following assessment.
How Does Microneedling Work?
A professional needling device creates multiple controlled microscopic punctures in the skin. This initiates a natural tissue-repair response, involving collagen remodelling over the following weeks and months.
Treatment depth and technique are selected according to the treatment area, skin condition and individual goals.
Microneedling vs RF Microneedling
Traditional Microneedling uses mechanical needle stimulation to support skin renewal.
RF Microneedling combines fine needles with radiofrequency energy to deliver controlled heat into selected tissue depths.
The most suitable option depends on skin concerns, suitability and recovery needs.
What Happens During Treatment?
1. Consultation — Assessment of skin condition, concerns and suitability.
2. Preparation — Professional cleansing and appropriate skin preparation.
3. Microneedling — Controlled treatment using a suitable professional needling device.
4. Finishing Care — Selected post-treatment skincare appropriate for the skin.
5. Aftercare — Guidance on recovery, suitable homecare and UV protection.
Recovery & Aftercare
Temporary redness, warmth, tightness, swelling and sensitivity may occur. Mild dryness or flaking may develop during recovery.
Redness often improves over approximately 24–72 hours, but recovery may take longer depending on treatment intensity and individual skin response.
Follow personalised aftercare instructions. Avoid unnecessary sun exposure, irritating skincare, exfoliating acids, retinoids and further active treatments until advised. Do not pick or rub treated skin.
Possible complications include infection, prolonged inflammation, pigmentation changes and scarring.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Treatment frequency and the number of sessions depend on the concern, skin condition and individual response. Deeper scars may require a series of sessions with appropriate recovery intervals.
Collagen remodelling develops gradually, and results vary between individuals.
Is Microneedling Suitable for Everyone?
Microneedling may be unsuitable for active skin infections, certain inflammatory skin conditions, abnormal scarring tendencies, impaired healing and other contraindications.
Medications, active acne, recent procedures and individual medical history must be reviewed before treatment.
