What is microneedling?
Microneedling uses sterile, very fine needles to create controlled microchannels in the skin. The repair response can support new collagen and elastin formation, gradually improving skin texture and the appearance of selected scars.
At Nuance Aesthetics, treatment begins with a medical skin assessment. Needle depth, number of passes, treatment intervals and any combination therapy are selected according to the concern, skin condition and risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation.
What can microneedling help improve?
Acne scars
May soften selected atrophic scars. Deep rolling, boxcar or tethered scars may require subcision, laser or combination treatment.
Uneven texture
Supports gradual surface refinement when rough or irregular texture is the main concern.
Visible pores
Can reduce the appearance of enlarged pores; pores cannot be permanently “closed.”
Fine lines
Collagen remodelling may improve selected early fine lines and overall skin quality.
Selected stretch marks
May improve colour and texture over multiple sessions, although complete removal is unlikely.
Overall rejuvenation
May be considered for gradual improvement in tone, firmness and skin texture.
How the treatment is performed
Consultation
Your skin, scars, current medicines and tendency for pigmentation or keloids are reviewed.
Preparation
The area is cleansed. Topical anaesthetic may be applied for comfort when appropriate.
Microneedling
A sterile single-use cartridge is passed at controlled settings chosen for each treatment zone.
Aftercare
A calming product and sunscreen advice are provided, along with personalised home-care instructions.
Microneedling options
| Approach | May be considered for | Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Standard microneedling | Texture, pores, mild scars and rejuvenation | Depth and sessions personalised after assessment |
| Microneedling with PRP | Selected acne-scar or rejuvenation plans | Recommended only when clinically appropriate |
| RF microneedling | Deeper scars, texture or skin-laxity concerns | Uses insulated/non-insulated needles with radiofrequency energy, depending on device |
| Combination scar plan | Mixed scar types | May include subcision, chemical reconstruction, peels or fractional laser |
The “best” option depends on scar type and depth—not simply on choosing the most intensive procedure.
Before treatment
- Tell the doctor about pregnancy, medicines, isotretinoin use, bleeding problems, allergies and previous keloids.
- Active acne, herpes, infection, eczema flare or open wounds may require treatment to be postponed.
- Avoid tanning and inform the clinic about recent peels, laser or facial procedures.
- Do not stop prescribed medicines unless your treating doctor advises it.
After treatment
- Mild redness, warmth, tightness or pinpoint swelling can occur temporarily.
- Use the advised gentle cleanser, moisturiser and broad-spectrum sunscreen.
- Avoid scrubs, retinoids, strong acids, steam, swimming and strenuous exercise for the period advised.
- Do not pick peeling skin. Contact the clinic for worsening pain, pus, blistering or persistent swelling.

Microneedling FAQs
How many microneedling sessions will I need?
Many patients require a series of sessions, often spaced several weeks apart. The exact number depends on the concern, scar type, treatment depth, healing response and whether combination procedures are needed.
Is microneedling painful?
Most patients describe temporary prickling or pressure. Topical anaesthetic may be used to improve comfort. Sensation varies with treatment depth and area.
When will I see results?
Early texture changes may appear in the following weeks, while collagen remodelling develops gradually over several months. Results vary and cannot be guaranteed.
Can microneedling remove acne scars completely?
No treatment can promise complete scar removal. Microneedling may soften selected scars, but deep or tethered scars commonly need a tailored combination plan.
Is microneedling safe for darker Indian skin?
It can be suitable for many darker skin tones when correctly selected and performed. However, irritation and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation remain possible, so medical assessment, conservative settings and sun protection matter.
Can I do microneedling if I have active acne?
Treatment is commonly postponed over inflamed, infected or cystic acne because needling may worsen irritation. Acne control is usually prioritised first.
What is the cost of microneedling in Thrissur?
Cost varies with the treatment area, technology used, treatment depth and whether PRP or another combination procedure is included. Contact Nuance for an assessment and exact quote.
