Microneedling & Collagen Induction

• Acne scarring (icepick, rolling, boxcar) that surface treatments can't reach
• Loss of firmness and early-stage fine lines from collagen decline (from late 20s onwards)
• Enlarged or "stretched" pores that no cleanser will shrink
• Uneven skin texture, rough patches, and post-inflammatory pigmentation
• Stretch marks and body scarring beyond the face

We treat microneedling as a plan, not a one-off. Typically 3-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart, layered with the right serums for your goal — hyaluronic acid for texture and hydration, peptides for firming, or a targeted brightening cocktail for pigmentation. Biana is CIT-certified through Global Beauty and delivers the treatment personally, one client at a time.

The Collagen Induction Treatment

Clinical microneedling with medical-grade device, tailored infusion, calming LED red light and a barrier-repair finish. 60-75 minutes. Suitable for most skin types with the right pre-conditioning.

Your skin's own repair response is stronger than any topical product. When medical-grade micro-needles create controlled channels into the dermis (0.5-2.5mm depending on the goal), the body reads it as an injury and floods the area with new fibroblasts, growth factors, and freshly-produced collagen and elastin. Over the following 6-12 weeks, that new collagen remodels scars, tightens loose texture, and gives skin visibly firmer, smoother quality. This is the same biological process behind laser resurfacing — but far gentler on the barrier, safer for pigmented skin types, and with virtually no meaningful downtime.

1. 1A pre-treatment consultation (in-clinic or via phone) to confirm suitability, discuss goals and prep your skin at home for 1-2 weeks beforehand.
2. 2Thorough cleanse and topical numbing cream applied for 20-25 minutes — most clients report only mild pressure during treatment, not sharp pain.
3. 3Precise, mapped microneedling pass across the treatment zone at the depth appropriate for your goal (0.5mm for tone and radiance, up to 2.5mm for scars).
4. 4A tailored serum infusion — hyaluronic acid, peptides, or brightening actives — pressed directly into the channels while they're open.
5. 5Red LED light therapy (10-15 minutes) to accelerate healing, calm inflammation and boost collagen response.
6. 6A calming, barrier-repairing mask and SPF finish. Total session: 60-75 minutes.

Adults concerned about acne scarring, uneven texture, early to moderate signs of ageing, enlarged pores, mild-moderate pigmentation, or general loss of skin quality. Not suitable during active acne breakouts, current cold sore outbreak, pregnancy, active accutane use, or on skin with untreated melasma without a preparation plan. We assess suitability at every session — never a fixed protocol.

You'll feel and see initial improvement (radiance, smoothness) within 1-2 weeks of the first session. Real collagen remodelling takes 4-8 weeks per session to complete. Best results come from 3-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart, with visible compounding change through months 3-6. Deeper acne scarring often needs 6+ sessions.

For 24 hours: skin will feel warm and look mildly flushed (like light sunburn). Avoid makeup, gym, hot showers, alcohol and swimming pools. Cleanse gently with lukewarm water only. For 48-72 hours: no active ingredients (retinol, AHAs, BHAs, vitamin C). Use only the hydrating cleanser, hyaluronic acid and barrier moisturiser we send you home with. SPF 50+ every single morning for 2 weeks — non-negotiable.

Microneedling stacks beautifully with LED therapy sessions in between, and with our Skin Correction or Reset Facial in the "off weeks". At home, a well-designed Murad routine featuring vitamin C, retinol (once cleared to resume), peptides and daily SPF genuinely doubles your treatment results over 6-12 months. We build the plan together at consultation.
