We use medical-grade automated needling devices that ensure consistent depth and safety, far superior to home-use rollers or non-medical spa treatments.
We apply a medical-grade numbing cream before using the needling device and often combine it with specialized serums for enhanced results.
Safe for all skin types and highly effective for pitted acne scars and uneven skin texture.
Is there downtime? Your skin will look slightly pink for 12-24 hours, similar to a mild sunburn.
How many sessions? 3-6 sessions are usually needed for significant scar improvement.
Dealing with stubborn acne scars, enlarged pores, or premature skin aging? At MICAA Skin Clinic, we offer highly effective, medical-grade Microneedling in Calicut—also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT). Using a precision-engineered, motor-driven derma pen, this treatment artificially forces your skin into "rapid repair mode" without heat or aggressive chemicals.
By creating thousands of invisible micro-punctures deep into the dermis layer, we trigger the body's natural wound-healing cascade. This leads to a massive surge in natural collagen and elastin production, physically pushing up depressed scars and plumping out fine lines from within. Discover smoother, tighter, and flawless skin directly under the care of Kozhikode’s leading dermatologists.
Because it fundamentally alters the structural integrity of the skin, microneedling is a highly versatile treatment:
No. Because we systematically apply a strong topical anesthetic cream beforehand, your skin will be completely numb. Most patients describe a sensation akin to an electric toothbrush vibrating rapidly across the skin. Certain areas like the forehead may feel a slight prickling, but it is highly tolerable.
Immediately after the procedure, your skin will appear as though you have a moderate sunburn. This redness usually peaks on the day of treatment and rapidly subsides over the next 24 to 48 hours. By day three, you may experience mild flaking. Makeup can be safely worn after 24 hours.
For treating deep, established acne scars or stretch marks, a committed series of 3 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is generally required. The delayed spacing is necessary because it takes the body roughly a month to synthesize new collagen fibers.
No. Microneedling should not be performed over active, inflamed, or cystic acne, as the needles can spread the bacteria to other areas of the face. Our clear protocol focuses on clearing the active acne first (via peels or medication) and utilizing microneedling afterward to repair the residual scarring.
