Microneedling Treatment in Lahore

Microneedling Treatment in Lahore for Smoother, Healthier-Looking Skin

Your skin may be dealing with problems such as skin texture issues, enlarged pores, acne scars, wrinkles, and dullness. DAG Dental & Aesthetics in Lahore offers microneedling treatment to encourage your body to produce natural collagen and address specific skin concerns.

The Microneedling procedure uses a special machine with very fine, sterilized needles. Small holes created with this treatment can help the body start the self-repairing process that can help increase collagen production in your skin.

This treatment can be personalized according to your skin type, area to treat, problems that you want to deal with, and your tolerance to this procedure. Every microneedling treatment offered by DAG Dental & Aesthetics starts with a skin consultation. It helps us determine whether this treatment suits you and make a treatment plan accordingly.

This treatment can help resolve such problems as acne scars, uneven skin texture, enlarged pores, mild pigmentation, and early signs of aging. The results of the treatment can take some time to show up.

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, is a skincare treatment involving the use of needles to make micro-channels on the skin.

Such micro-channels stimulate a healing reaction in the skin. Through this, the skin may slowly regenerate collagen and elastin that keep it firm, strong, and textured.

Microneedling pens can allow you to control the needle penetration depth and speed depending on the area you want to treat. Penetration speed and depth can be shallow for sensitive areas and deep for some selected scarred areas or textural irregularities, among others.

Unlike other forms of resurfacing that completely remove the uppermost layer of the skin, microneedling causes controlled skin injury and therefore requires sterile equipment and appropriate clinical procedures.

• Areas that may be microneedled include:

• Face

• Cheeks

• Forehead

• Chin and jawline

• Neck

• Some selected scarred areas from acne

• Other selected body areas after evaluation

Microneedling Benefits

The possible benefits of microneedling are dependent on the state of the patient, the depth of the treatment, the number of sessions, and the healing rate.

Treatment of Acne Scars

Microneedling could prove effective in improving the appearance of some acne scars. This treatment is normally ideal for treating specific types of atrophic scars but not raised scars or keloid scars.

Smoother Skin Texture

Skin texture could improve through controlled collagen stimulation over a series of microneedling treatments.

Removal of Fine Lines

Firmer skin and improved appearance of early fine lines may be achieved through microneedling due to enhanced collagen and elastin activity.

Reduced Pore Size

Pore size will reduce as skin texture is improved through microneedling treatments. However, pores cannot be eliminated.

What Skin Concerns Can Microneedling Treat?

Microneedling can be used on those who have issues with:

• Faint to moderately depressed acne scars

• Texture irregularities

• Large pores

• Fine lines

• Skin aging

• Dull complexion

• Loss of tightness of the skin

• Certain types of skin pigmentation

• Certain body and stretch marks

• Overall skin rejuvenation

  
  

Microneedling does not work on every scar, type of pigmentation, or wrinkle. Deep scars, inflammation-related acne, melasma, hypertrophic scars, excessive skin laxity, or skin diseases may need a completely different or a combination of treatments.

It is important to have a consultation in order to identify the problem and have realistic expectations.

How Microneedling Treatment Works

Before starting treatment, a comprehensive evaluation of your skin type, current problems, skin sensitivity, past medical history, skincare regimen, and previous aesthetic procedures will be conducted.

During this process, your skin specialist may enquire about:

• Present acne

• Skin infection

• Cold sores

• Prone to raised scar formation

• Exposure to sunlight

• Pregnant/breastfeeding

• Taking any medications

• Chemical peel treatment

• Laser treatment

• Strong skincare products used

This process determines whether treatment is necessary or needs to be delayed and modified.

1. Cleansing

Your skin will be thoroughly cleaned to remove all makeup, oils, sunscreens, and other surface elements. In some cases, a numbing cream can be used to reduce discomfort during the procedure.

2. Microneedling Pen Treatment

A sterile disposable needle cartridge will be attached to the microneedling pen, which will be moved over your treated areas according to the patient’s skin and skin problem.

3. Post-Treatment Application

After microneedling, the practitioner may apply a suitable soothing or hydrating product. Only products selected for professional use after microneedling should be placed on freshly treated skin.

4. Aftercare Guidance

The patient receives personalized instructions for cleansing, moisturising, sun protection, and temporarily avoiding irritating skincare ingredients.

A typical appointment may take approximately 30–60 minutes, depending on the treatment area and numbing time.

What Is a Microneedling Pen?

Microneedling pens are handheld, motorized devices that use a cartridge with a number of fine needles that penetrate the skin vertically through precise settings of depth and speed.

• The professional microneedling pen enables you to control:

• The needle depth 

• The speed of the device 

• The number of passes

• The pressure applied

• Treated zones

• The intensity for various conditions

Using a professional microneedling device does not mean there are no risks involved in the procedure, although some of them can be minimized by setting the correct parameters.

It is important to note that patients cannot take it for granted that the results of any microneedling procedure will be the same.

Microneedling with PRP

Sometimes microneedling can also be done in combination with a procedure called Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP).

PRP involves taking a small amount of blood from the patient, which is then separated into platelets and growth factors in plasma form and prepared. This is then applied as part of the treatment.

Microneedling combined with PRP could be an option for a few patients who want treatments for acne scarring, skin texture, or skin rejuvenation issues. Studies show that PRP could increase the effectiveness of treatment plans in some cases where acne scarring is involved with other procedures like microneedling.

But PRP is not always needed by all patients. It should be recommended by the specialist depending on many factors

Can Microneedling Be Done at Home?

Individuals interested in at-home microneedling can easily come across various methods such as derma rollers, stamps, and inexpensive microneedling pens. Such procedures may pose a danger, especially when devices are reused, penetrate too deeply, are shared between individuals, or are not appropriate for certain skin types.

Possible dangers can include:

• Skin infection

• Bleeding

• Bruises

• Scarring

• Pigmentation problems

• A flare-up of active acne

• Spread of bacteria to the face

• Activation of cold sores

• Damage caused by needles or uneven treatment

  
  

  

Injection of harmful substances directly into the skin

Besides, at-home patients can find it hard to assess the proper depth of penetration for various parts of the face and recognize if a skin condition is not appropriate for such a procedure.

Professional consultation is a much better choice for the treatment of scars and collagen stimulation.

Which Microneedling Serum Should Be Used?

In many cases, when you search for “microneedling serums” online, you will see various products that are recommended to be used in combination with the procedure.

However, it does not mean that any product of this kind can be safely applied to microneedled skin.

Due to the temporary increase in skin permeability, products that contain fragrances, acids, retinoids, strong vitamin C, essential oils, untested growth factors, and impure substances can provoke irritation and allergic reactions.

Only those products recommended by the doctor who performs microneedling can be used in combination with the procedure.

• The list of products that can be safely used after the microneedling procedure includes:

• Moisturizers

• Skin barrier boosters

• Anti-inflammatory agents

• Products specially designed for use after the procedure

Patients cannot use any other serum unless it is checked by the specialist.

Microneedling Aftercare

Proper microneedling aftercare is vital in aiding in the healing process and in avoiding unnecessary irritation.

Some of the measures that you may be instructed to take after the procedure include:

• Maintaining cleanliness on the skin without touching the skin unnecessarily

• Using the recommended gentle cleanser

• Using the recommended moisturizer or calming agent

• Using the recommended broad-spectrum sunscreen

• Avoiding exposure to the sun

• Avoiding make-up until recommended

• Staying away from retinoids, acid exfoliants, scrubbing agents, and concentrated vitamin C temporarily

• Staying away from waxing, threading, and facials until the skin gets back to normal

• Avoiding vigorous exercise, sauna, and swimming temporarily

• Not scratching, peeling, or picking off flaky skin

• Avoiding using any other serum or home remedy not recommended

• Taking all personal instructions from the therapist seriously

• Temporary redness, tightness, dryness, sensitivity, swelling, and even peeling could happen. It varies depending on the depth of the treatment and the individual skin reaction.

  
  

In case of any pain, pus formation, intense swelling, spreading redness, blistering, continuous bleeding, or any other reaction that is unusual, contact the clinic.

When Will Microneedling Results Appear?

Microneedling results are gradual because collagen remodeling takes time.

Some patients notice a temporary fresh or plump appearance after the initial redness settles. Improvements in texture, scars, or fine lines generally develop over the following weeks and months.

Multiple sessions may be recommended, often spaced several weeks apart, depending on the treatment concern and skin recovery. Some medical sources note that many patients require a series of treatments and that visible changes can take several months to develop.

Microneedling Price in Pakistan

The cost of microneedling in Pakistan depends on several factors such as the clinic, city, practitioner's experience, type of machine used, treatment site, depth of the needles, and the inclusion of PRP or other relevant treatment methods.

A simple facial microneedling may have a different fee than:

• Microneedling for acne scars

• Microneedling with PRP

• Face and neck treatment

• Scar or stretch marks treatment for the body

• Multi-treatment sessions

At DAG Dental & Aesthetics, costs are quoted after assessing the patient's skin and deciding the best treatment option. This saves the patient from undergoing a standard procedure which may not suit him or her.
