Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that rejuvenates the skin by stimulating collagen production, targeting fine lines and scars and improving overall skin texture through the use of fine needles.
Stimulate Natural Collagen Production
Microneedling is a dermatological procedure that uses small needles to prick the skin, prompting the body’s natural healing process to increase collagen and elastin production. This treatment aims to improve skin texture, reduce scarring, and diminish wrinkles, offering a more youthful appearance. It’s a popular, less invasive alternative to laser therapies, with minimal downtime, making it an accessible option for those seeking a glowing, youthful complexion.
Microneedling Treats:
- Acne scars
- Age spots (sun spots)
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Large pores
- Other types of scars
- Reduced skin elasticity
- Uneven skin tone
How Microneedling Works
Microneedling operates on the principles of neocollagenesis and neoangiogenesis. By creating microscopic punctures in the skin with fine needles, it induces a controlled injury response. This triggers the body’s innate healing mechanisms, stimulating fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin—proteins essential for skin firmness and elasticity. Enhanced blood vessel formation in the area also occurs, improving blood circulation and overall skin health. This regenerative process results in smoother, firmer, and clearer skin.
We Use The SkinPen

Your Microneedling Experience
When you visit Hetal for your microneedling session, you’ll be treated with the utmost care. The procedure is performed using the FDA-approved SkinPen device, which gently glides over your skin, creating tiny punctures. These micro-injuries start the regeneration process. Hetal ensures the treatment is as comfortable as possible, with the depth of needle penetration customized to your skin’s specific needs.
After the procedure, you may notice redness and slight swelling akin to a mild sunburn; these are typical side effects and should subside within a few days. You can return to your daily routine quickly, but strenuous workouts should be avoided for a few days. The results become apparent within a few weeks as collagen production ramps up, with full benefits visible after a few months. The rejuvenating effects improve with each session.
