Professional Microneedling at Medicyto Clinic
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy (CIT), is a minimally invasive treatment that stimulates your skin's natural healing process. At Medicyto Clinic in Kota Damansara, our certified doctors perform medical-grade microneedling using sterile, single-use needle cartridges to treat acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, and uneven skin texture with precision and safety.
Unlike home-use derma rollers, clinical microneedling devices penetrate the skin at controlled depths (0.5 mm to 2.5 mm) with consistent pressure, ensuring uniform collagen stimulation across the treatment area. This level of precision is only achievable with professional medical-grade equipment and cannot be replicated by consumer devices.
How Microneedling Works
A medical-grade automated microneedling device creates thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin's dermis. This triggers the body's natural wound-healing cascade — the same biological process that repairs damaged tissue — stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin fibres. Over the following weeks, the skin gradually remodels, becoming firmer, smoother, and more even in texture.
The micro-channels also dramatically enhance the absorption of topical treatments applied immediately after the procedure. At Medicyto Clinic, we frequently combine microneedling with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) — a concentration of your own growth factors — to accelerate healing and amplify collagen production. This combination is particularly effective for acne scar remodelling and anti-aging.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Microneedling?
Microneedling is suitable for most skin types, including Asian skin (Fitzpatrick types III–V), which is more prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) from ablative laser treatments. Because microneedling does not remove the epidermis, the risk of PIH is significantly lower than with fractional CO₂ or ablative laser procedures.
Ideal candidates are patients with mild to moderate acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, or uneven skin texture who are looking for a minimally invasive treatment with minimal downtime. Patients with active acne breakouts, open wounds, or certain skin conditions should wait until these resolve before undergoing treatment.
What to Expect During Your Microneedling Session
Your microneedling session at Medicyto Clinic begins with a thorough skin cleanse and the application of a topical numbing cream, which is left on for approximately 30–45 minutes to ensure your comfort. Once the skin is numb, our doctor performs the microneedling procedure using a sterile, single-use needle cartridge. The treatment typically takes 30–60 minutes depending on the area treated.
Immediately after treatment, a soothing serum (such as hyaluronic acid or PRP) is applied to the skin to support healing. You will notice mild redness and a warm sensation similar to a light sunburn, which typically subsides within 24–48 hours. Most patients can return to work the following day with light makeup coverage.
Microneedling Results and Maintenance
Initial improvements in skin texture and radiance are often visible after the first session. However, the most significant results — particularly for acne scar reduction — develop over 4–8 weeks as new collagen matures. A course of 3–6 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart is typically recommended for optimal outcomes.
To maintain your results, our doctors may recommend quarterly maintenance sessions combined with a medical-grade home skincare routine including retinoids, antioxidants, and broad-spectrum SPF50+ sunscreen.
