Microneedling

Refined skin texture -
your own collagen, stimulated.

Microneedling at Handa Plastic Surgery uses medical-grade automated devices and (optionally) radiofrequency for deeper dermal stimulation. The treatment triggers your own skin's collagen production for progressive improvement in texture, scarring, and pore size. Supervised by Dr. Shruti Handa.

"Microneedling does not deposit anything into your skin. It triggers your skin to make more of its own collagen - your result is your own biology, optimised."

Why MCh + MS ENT matters

MCh Plastic Surgery is the highest super-specialty surgical qualification in India - a 3-year post-MS programme in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery covering the full breadth of aesthetic and reconstructive work. MS ENT is a surgical Master's degree in Ear, Nose and Throat - the specialty most directly concerned with nasal anatomy, airway function, and sinus and septal pathology. For a facial-aesthetics surgeon, holding both means the structural and aesthetic dimensions of the face are understood from two independent surgical disciplines. In a field where practitioners may have attended short courses rather than completed formal training, this combination is genuinely rare.

In Detail

About Microneedling

What Is Microneedling 

Microneedling is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that includes creating microscopic punctures in the skin with a small handheld device equipped with fine needles. 

Collagen induction treatment is another name for this procedure.

At best cosmetic surgery clinic in Delhi, skin specialist uses fine needles to make small punctures in the skin during the process, which activates the body's natural healing reaction. As the skin heals, it creates new collagen and elastin fibers, which improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and make the skin appear smoother and younger.

Benefits Of Microneedling 

The advantages of getting a microneedling procedure done include:

  1. Improves skin texture: Microneedling stimulates collagen production, which improves skin texture, reduces the appearance of fine lines, and makes the skin smoother.
  2. Treats acne scars: Microneedling can improve the appearance of acne scars by breaking down scar tissue and encouraging the growth of new skin cells.
  3. Reduces hyperpigmentation: Microneedling can help reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone by promoting the growth of new skin cells.
  4. Reduces the size of pores: Microneedling can reduce the size of pores by promoting collagen formation, which helps to fill up the skin and hide the pores.
  5. Enhances absorption of topical products: Microneedling creates small channels in the skin that allow for better absorption of topical products, such as serums and moisturizers.

Micro-needling is a safe and effective method of improving skin look. It is a minimally invasive technique with little to no downtime, making it an appealing alternative for those looking to improve their skin without undergoing surgery.

FAQ's

1. What does microneedling by DermaPen 4 mean?

Dermapen 4™ is the breakthrough of the decade, utilising the most advanced needle cartridge—this glides over the skin creating millions of fine fractional channels up to 104% faster than other microneedling devices. These channels can carry up to 80% more topical nutrients deeper into the skin, causing our body’s natural response to trigger a natural process of repair.

Dermapen 4™ is the most advanced microneedling device available and ours is one of the very few centres in the country that have this latest technology.

2. How does it benefit me?

Dermapen microneedling treatment is recommended for:

  • Acne Scars
  • Scars on face or body due to trauma or burns etc
  • Pigmentation
  • Skin ageing like fine lines, wrinkles
  • Open pores
  • Sun damage
  • Stretch marks
  • Vampire facial
  • In combination with Prp for hair loss

3. Is it painful?

It is a comfortable, practically painless procedure. However, we do apply numbing cream to make your experience even more smooth.

4. How many sessions would I require?

Here is a ready reckoner:

  • Rejuvenation: 3-6 treatments, 6-8 weeks apart
  • Acne scarring: 4-6 treatments, 6-8 weeks apart
  • Stretch marks: 4-8 treatments, 6-8 weeks apart
  • Pigmentation: 4-6 treatments, 2-4 weeks apart

5. How soon will I see the results?

You will see results after at least 3 sessions. However you will begin to notice a difference even after one session, usually. The results keep on improving over the next year.

6. Do I have to use any other creams or topical treatments?

Yes, we do advise certain basic topical treatments to complement and enhance the results.

7. What are the side effects?

Being a non-invasive rejuvenation procedure, side effects are rare. But, yes, there is mild redness or some swelling for the following 2-3 days so if you are planning on an event then keep a gap of 5-7 days, at least.

8. What if I am planning to get other treatments with injectables?

We recommend performing the microneedling session on the face prior to the injectable (fillers/botox) treatment. However, if you wish you can keep a gap of two days between the two treatments. This can be discussed with our doctors during consultation.

The Treatment

Microneedling - what we actually do

A plain account of microneedling protocol and realistic outcome expectations.

Non-Surgical · Skin Resurfacing
Microneedling
+ RF
Medical-Grade Device · Collagen Stimulation
AESTHETIC TREATMENT / 03
Microneedling (with optional RF)
Triggers your skin's own collagen production for progressive texture improvement.

Microneedling uses an automated device with very fine medical-grade needles to create microscopic, controlled injury patterns in the skin. The injury triggers a wound-healing collagen response — your skin makes more of its own collagen, remodelling the dermal architecture over weeks. We use medical-grade automated devices only (no derma rollers, no home devices). Optional radiofrequency (RF) microneedling adds dermal heating for deeper stimulation. Often combined with PRP (platelet-rich plasma from your own blood) for accelerated response.

Growth factors from your blood

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) added to microneedling session. Blood sample drawn, centrifuged, and applied topically and/or injected during the session.

Best ForAcne scarring · Stretch marks · Faster response desired
TechniqueBlood draw + centrifugation + topical application or injection during session.
MODALITY / 04
Body Microneedling
Larger body areas

Microneedling on body areas - stretch marks, scars, body skin texture. Often combined with RF for deeper stimulation.

Best ForStretch marks · Body scars · Body skin texture
TechniqueSame medical-grade device with longer cartridges. Often combined with RF.
Signature Technology

Medical-grade microneedling — optionally with RF or PRP.

No derma rollers, no home devices. Medical-grade automated equipment with professional protocols.

Microneedling Technology
Automated Medical-Grade Device
Adjustable depth · Sterile single-use cartridges

Medical-grade automated microneedling devices use sterile single-use disposable cartridges with adjustable needle depth (0.5-2.5 mm) — depth chosen by treatment area and concern. The motorised stamping action creates uniform controlled injury patterns at the chosen depth. Home derma rollers or non-medical devices do NOT produce comparable results and carry infection risk. RF microneedling adds insulated needles that deliver controlled heat to the deeper dermis without surface damage. PRP injection delivers growth factors from your own blood concentrated by centrifugation.

Sterile single-use disposable cartridges
Adjustable depth 0.5-2.5 mm tailored to concern
Optional RF for deeper dermal stimulation
Optional PRP combination for accelerated response
Medical-Grade vs Home
Why home devices do not work
Home derma rollers and consumer devices do NOT produce comparable results - inconsistent depth, infection risk, no professional protocol. Medical-grade automated devices are the only equipment that produces measurable improvement.
RF Microneedling
When deeper stimulation is needed
Radiofrequency microneedling adds insulated needles delivering heat to the deeper dermis. Greater stimulation for acne scars, body areas, and skin laxity than standard microneedling alone.
PRP Combination
Growth factors accelerate response
PRP from your own blood (centrifuged from a small blood draw) delivers concentrated growth factors. Combined with microneedling for accelerated and amplified response - particularly for scarring.
Multi-Session Protocol
Why one session is not enough
Collagen remodelling response peaks 4 weeks post-session. Cumulative effect from 3-6 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart is significantly greater than any single session. We do not offer single-session treatments.

Candidacy & Who This Is For

Who microneedling is right for - and who it isn't.

The most important conversation at consultation is the realistic outcome - what improvement is achievable for your specific concern.

Likely a good candidate
Characteristics associated with good outcomes
You have skin texture, scarring, pore size, or mild laxity concerns
You understand the multi-session protocol (3-6 sessions over 3-6 months)
You have realistic expectations - significant improvement, not transformation
You can commit to topical programme and SPF between sessions
You are in good general health
You can avoid sun exposure on treated areas during the protocol
You can avoid retinoids 3-5 days before and after each session
If this sounds like you, the consultation will likely be productive.
Likely not ready - or not right
Characteristics that may prompt "not yet" or alternative recommendation
You have active acne or skin infection in the treatment area
You are pregnant or breastfeeding
You have very recently sun-tanned skin - higher pigmentation risk
You expect a single-session miracle
You take blood thinners - may need adjustment first
You have history of keloid scarring
You cannot commit to SPF and between-session care
If any applies, the consultation is still worthwhile - an honest "not yet" with a clear pathway.

A note on home devices and rollers

Derma rollers and home microneedling devices do NOT produce the same result as medical-grade automated devices. Home devices carry infection risk and inconsistent depth. Medical-grade in-clinic treatment is the only protocol we recommend.
