Microneedling
Collagen induction therapy for scars, large pores, fine lines and skin texture.
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling (collagen induction therapy) uses a controlled array of fine, sterile needles to create thousands of micro-channels in the skin. These tiny injuries trigger the body's natural healing cascade — new collagen, elastin and capillary growth — which over weeks remodels acne scars, fine lines, large pores, stretch marks and stubborn pigmentation.
At Orange Skin Clinic, Tirunelveli, we use medical-grade automated pen devices (with single-use sterile cartridges) and, for deeper concerns, radiofrequency microneedling (RF MNT) which delivers heat into the dermis for stronger remodelling. Both can be combined with PRP, GFC, or exosomes for amplified regeneration.
A standard course is 4–6 sessions every 4–6 weeks. The procedure starts with a numbing cream (30–40 min), followed by 20 minutes of needling. Mild pinpoint bleeding is expected and stops immediately. Redness for 24–48 hours and a "windburn" feel is normal — most patients return to work the next day with light tinted moisturiser.
Results build gradually: smoother texture in weeks, scar improvement over 3–6 months, and continued collagen remodelling for up to a year. Studies show 50–70% improvement in atrophic acne scars after a full course. For stretch marks (post-pregnancy or growth spurt), microneedling is one of the few proven non-laser options.
