Science-Backed Beauty

What is Microneedling and how does it work?

Microneedling creates micro-injuries in the skin, triggering collagen and elastin production to reduce wrinkles, scars, and imperfections. At Avané Clinic, we use derma rollers and pens for precise penetration, enhanced by exosomes—tiny vesicles with growth factors that boost skin repair. A nutrient-rich serum and exosomes are applied to the skin, maximizing the rejuvenation process.

At Avané Clinic, microneedling can be performed on its own or enhanced with topical serums, growth factors, or exosome therapy for even greater skin renewal. It’s a versatile, safe, and highly customizable treatment for a wide range of skin concerns.

A Simple Process.  A Significant Renewal.

What is the Microneedling procedure like?

Microneedling, also known as percutaneous collagen induction therapy, leverages the skin’s natural ability to heal itself after being slightly injured. At Avané Clinic, we utilise advanced technology, including derma pens and derma rollers, to perform this treatment. These devices feature 12-to-36-minute needles that can be adjusted from 0.5 to 2.5 mm in size, allowing precise application and optimal results. The treatment also involves the use of high-quality serums tailored to each client’s specific needs.

Your microneedling journey at Avané Clinic begins with a comprehensive consultation and a customized treatment plan. On procedure day:

  • A topical numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort.
  • The microneedling device is passed over the skin, creating thousands of microchannels.
  • Serums or biologics (like growth factors or exosomes) may be applied immediately after to boost healing.
  • The full session typically lasts approximately two hours.

After treatment, your skin may appear pink or flushed—similar to a mild sunburn—which typically resolves within a few days.

Strengthen, Smooth, and Restore Your Skin

What are the benefits of microneedling?

The treatment helps to reduce dull complexion and enhance brighter, healthier skin, effectively diminishing the dark spots left by acne. It also conceals signs of ageing, reducing wrinkles and fine lines. With a recovery period of just 2 to 3 days, you can quickly return to your normal routine.

Glow Deeper, Heal Smarter

Is microneedling right for me?

Ideal candidates for microneedling include:

  • Individuals with wrinkles, acne scars, body scars, or stretch marks
  • Those seeking a non-invasive treatment for ageing skin
  • People of all skin tones and types
  • Patients in good physical health

It’s safe for all skin types and tones. Patients with active acne, certain skin infections, or severe rosacea may need to postpone treatment. Your Avané provider will guide you through a personalized assessment to ensure it's right for you.

Minimal Downtime. Maximum Glow.

Microneedling Recovery

Most patients experience little to no downtime and love the "post-treatment glow" that kicks in within days. Recovery from microneedling is quick and easy:

  • Redness and mild swelling may occur for 1–3 days
  • Minor flaking or dryness may follow as the skin renews
  • Makeup can usually be worn after 24 hours
  • Gentle skincare and sun protection are essential during healing

Strength. Smoothness. Luminosity.

Microneedling Results

You'll begin to notice smoother, firmer skin within 4–6 weeks, as collagen production ramps up. Improvements continue to develop over the following months. For optimal results, we often recommend a series of 3–6 treatments, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart.

Results are long-lasting, and because microneedling enhances your skin’s own regenerative abilities, your improvements look completely natural.
