Microneedling (collagen induction therapy) is a clinically established, minimally invasive skin treatment that improves skin texture by stimulating the body's own collagen and elastin production.
At Crissy Skin Therapy, we use professional-grade microneedling paired with targeted mesotherapy infusions to treat acne scarring, enlarged pores, rough texture, and early signs of ageing with results that build progressively over a structured course of sessions.
Quick answer: What does Microneedling do for skin texture?
Microneedling creates thousands of controlled micro-injuries in the skin's surface using fine, sterile needles.
This triggers the skin's natural wound-healing response, prompting fibroblasts to generate new collagen and elastin.
As this new collagen forms and organises beneath the surface, it fills in depressed acne scarring, tightens the appearance of enlarged pores, and smooths rough or uneven patches, producing measurably improved skin texture without ablative resurfacing or significant downtime.
Key benefits of Microneedling for skin texture
Improves acne scarring: Atrophic (pitted) acne scars respond particularly well, as microneedling remodels collagen from beneath the scar rather than resurfacing the top layer alone.
Refines enlarged pores: Increased collagen density around the pore lining makes pores appear tighter and less visible.
Smooths rough or uneven texture: New, organised collagen fibres soften bumps, dullness, and sun-damaged patches.
Softens fine lines: Collagen remodelling gradually reduces the appearance of early fine lines.
Boosts active ingredient absorption: The micro-channels created during treatment allow serums and mesotherapy infusions such as hyaluronic acid, peptides, and vitamin complexes to penetrate far more effectively than topical application alone.
Natural, cumulative results: Improvements build over a course of treatments rather than fading like a quick fix, since they come from genuine tissue remodelling.
How a Microneedling Session Works
Consultation and skin assessment — needle depth and any mesotherapy infusion are tailored to your specific texture concerns and skin history.
Cleansing — the skin is thoroughly prepared to remove makeup, oil, and impurities.
Numbing — a topical anaesthetic is applied for comfort.
Microneedling treatment — a medical-grade device creates controlled micro-channels across the treatment area, typically over 30–60 minutes.
Post-treatment care — a calming serum or mask supports the skin's initial healing response.
Mild redness for a day or two afterwards is a normal, expected part of the healing process.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many microneedling sessions are needed to see results?
Most clients notice initial improvements in texture after 3 sessions, with fuller results developing over a course of 3–6 sessions spaced roughly 4–6 weeks apart, since collagen remodelling takes time.
Is microneedling safe for all skin types?
Microneedling is generally suitable for most skin types and tones. A proper consultation is essential beforehand to check for contraindications and determine the right needle depth for your skin.
Does microneedling hurt?
A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment, so most clients feel only mild pressure or a light prickling sensation rather than pain.
How is microneedling different from a chemical peel or hydro-dermabrasion?
Microneedling works beneath the skin's surface to stimulate collagen production at depth, while peels and hydro-dermabrasion primarily work on surface exfoliation and cellular renewal. The two approaches are often complementary rather than interchangeable.
How long do microneedling results last?
Because results come from genuine collagen remodelling rather than a temporary surface effect, improvements are long-lasting, particularly when maintained with periodic sessions and daily SPF.
