Standard Microneedling
Proven Collagen Boosting
A clinically proven treatment that creates controlled micro-injuries to stimulate the body's natural collagen and elastin production. Reduces texture, scars, and fine lines while improving overall skin quality and radiance.
Collagen Induction
for Radiant Skin
Standard microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy (CIT), uses a medical-grade device with fine sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin's surface. These micro-injuries trigger the body's natural healing response, stimulating fresh collagen and elastin production without causing significant downtime.
This versatile treatment addresses multiple skin concerns: fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars and depressed scars, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, and mild sun damage. It also enhances the absorption and efficacy of topical serums and growth factors applied during or immediately after treatment. Results develop gradually over weeks and months as new collagen remodels the skin.
How Microneedling Works
Microneedling harnesses your skin's natural healing intelligence to rebuild and rejuvenate.
Ultra-fine sterile needles create tiny, precise punctures in the dermis. This controlled injury is gentle enough to avoid scarring while strong enough to activate the skin's repair mechanisms.
The body recognizes the micro-injuries and initiates a natural wound-healing cascade. Growth factors and cytokines are released, jumpstarting collagen and elastin synthesis.
Over weeks and months, new collagen is laid down and the skin's matrix is remodeled. Texture improves, scars become less noticeable, and the skin appears firmer and more luminous.
Sessions, Timeline & Results

What to Expect
Consult & Skin Assessment
Your dermatologist evaluates your skin type, concerns (scars, texture, pigmentation), and goals. Skin sensitivity and previous treatments are discussed. A customized treatment plan and session schedule are created.
Pre-Treatment Preparation
The face is cleansed thoroughly and a topical numbing cream is applied to maximize comfort. Some practices use a cooling device during treatment. Treatment typically begins 20–30 minutes after numbing application.
Microneedling Treatment
The sterile microneedling device is passed over the treatment areas in systematic patterns. Needle depth is adjusted based on the area and concern. The procedure typically takes 30–45 minutes. Sensation is generally mild with the numbing cream in place.
Post-Treatment Serum & Soothing
A growth factor serum, hyaluronic acid, or calming product is applied immediately post-treatment. This enhances healing and penetration. Redness is normal and typically fades within 24–48 hours. Mild swelling may occur.
Progressive Results & Repeat Sessions
Collagen production begins within days; visible texture and tone improvement appears within 2–4 weeks. Follow-up sessions are scheduled 4 weeks apart for 3–6 sessions total, depending on your skin goals and concerns.
Standard Microneedling Treatment Cost
Pricing at Rida Radiance is always stated upfront after a clinical assessment. Below is the published range from our official price guide.
Prices are approximate and may vary based on the area treated, number of areas, skin condition severity, and needle depth required. A personalised treatment quote and series package pricing will be provided after your in-clinic skin assessment and consultation. Series packages (3–6 sessions) often offer discounted pricing compared to single sessions.
Microneedling Addresses
Reduces the appearance of pitted scars and atrophic scars by stimulating new collagen to fill in depressions and rebuild skin texture.
Improves uneven texture, roughness, and enlarged pores by strengthening the dermal matrix and promoting smoother, more refined skin.
Boosts collagen and elastin, gradually softening fine lines and improving skin firmness and elasticity for a more youthful appearance.
Helps fade mild sun damage, age spots, and uneven pigmentation as collagen remodeling normalizes skin tone and texture.
Stimulates circulation and natural glow. Skin appears brighter, more luminous, and youthful as micro-circulation improves.
Increases collagen density and skin elasticity, providing subtle lifting and firming effects, especially on the neck and jawline.
Common Questions
Is microneedling painful?
No. A numbing cream is applied before treatment, making the procedure relatively comfortable. Most patients describe mild sensations rather than pain. Those with sensitive skin can request additional numbing measures.
How much downtime is there?
Expect 3–5 days of mild redness and sensitivity. Redness typically fades within 24–48 hours but may persist slightly longer. Most patients resume normal activities immediately, though sun exposure and intense exercise should be avoided briefly.
When will I see results?
Initial improvements in texture and glow appear within 2–4 weeks. Significant results (scar reduction, fine line improvement) develop over 8–12 weeks as collagen remodels. Multiple sessions amplify results substantially.
How many sessions do I need?
Most patients benefit from 3–6 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart. The exact number depends on your skin concern severity, skin type, and desired outcome. Your dermatologist will customize a protocol during your consultation.
Can I combine with other treatments?
Yes. Microneedling pairs beautifully with PRP (platelet-rich plasma), serums, and topical treatments. RF microneedling is a premium option for faster, more dramatic results. Your dermatologist will advise on safe combinations.
Who is a good candidate?
Most skin types benefit from microneedling. It is especially effective for those with acne scars, rough texture, and aging skin. Those with active infections, keloid tendencies, or certain skin conditions should consult their dermatologist first.
