Call to Book WhatsApp UsWhat Is Microneedling & Why Is It So Effective?
Microneedling — also called collagen induction therapy (CIT) or dermaroller treatment — is one of the most evidence-backed non-surgical skin treatments available. It works by creating thousands of controlled, microscopic channels in the skin using fine sterile needles. This controlled injury triggers the skin's natural wound-healing cascade: a flood of growth factors, new collagen synthesis and accelerated skin remodelling.
The result is progressively thicker, firmer, smoother skin — with scarred tissue gradually replaced by organised new collagen, enlarged pores tightened by surrounding collagen support and fine lines filled from within rather than masked from above. Unlike laser treatments, microneedling causes no heat damage and carries minimal risk of pigmentation changes — making it an ideal treatment for Indian skin tones.
At Antheia Enhance, every microneedling session uses sterile single-use needles, professional numbing cream and qualified estheticians trained in needle depth and pressure calibration. We combine treatment with targeted serums — Vitamin C, hyaluronic acid or peptides.
Our Microneedling Treatments
Six microneedling protocols targeting specific skin concerns — each customised to your skin's condition, depth requirements and treatment goals.
Microneedling / Dermaroller
The foundational treatment — controlled micro-injuries across the full face at calibrated needle depths stimulate the skin's collagen and elastin production cycle. Over 4–6 weeks following each session, new collagen remodels the skin from within. Ideal for overall skin quality improvement, texture refinement and anti-ageing.
Microneedling for Acne Scars
A targeted protocol focusing on scarred areas with deeper needle penetration to break up fibrotic scar tissue and stimulate new collagen in the base of depressed scars. Rolling scars and shallow boxcar scars show the most dramatic improvement. Results vary from person to person.
Microneedling with Vitamin C Serum
A high-concentration Vitamin C serum is infused directly through the microchannels created during needling. This adds powerful brightening and antioxidant protection to the collagen-stimulating effect, making it ideal for those with both textural and pigmentation concerns.
Microneedling for Pore Minimisation
Enlarged pores are structurally caused by weakened collagen support around the pore opening. Microneedling rebuilds that collagen framework — physically tightening and reducing the visible diameter of enlarged pores over a course of sessions. Results vary from person to person.
Microneedling for Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Fine lines and wrinkles are caused by collagen loss in the dermis. Microneedling stimulates new collagen at exactly the depths where it's needed most — filling lines from beneath the surface rather than temporarily plumping them with fillers. Results are gradual but genuinely long-lasting and improve over several months post-treatment.
Microneedling + PRP
The most advanced microneedling protocol available — combining collagen induction with platelet-rich plasma for maximum regenerative results. Growth factors from the PRP serum are infused through the microchannels, dramatically accelerating tissue repair and collagen production. Exceptional results for scars, anti-ageing and overall skin rejuvenation.
Why Trust Antheia Enhance for Microneedling?
When it comes to microneedling, the skill of the practitioner and the quality of the process matter as much as the treatment itself.
Trained Estheticians
Microneedling requires precise calibration of needle depth, pressure and technique depending on the area being treated. Our estheticians are trained in professional microneedling protocols — not self-taught or undertrained technicians.
Sterile Single-Use Needles
Every microneedling session uses a brand-new, sterile needle cartridge — opened in front of you and disposed of immediately after. We never reuse needles. Hygiene in microneedling is non-negotiable and we maintain the highest standards.
Numbing Cream Applied
A professional topical numbing cream is applied 30–40 minutes before every session to ensure maximum comfort. The vast majority of clients find the treatment entirely manageable — often reporting only mild tingling, not pain.
Visible Results from Session One
While the most dramatic changes come after 3–6 sessions, most clients notice improved skin texture, reduced pore visibility and a healthy post-treatment glow even after their very first session — a sign that the collagen response has already begun.
Minimal Downtime (24–48 Hrs)
Expect redness and mild sensitivity for 24–48 hours after your session — similar in appearance to a mild sunburn. This is the only downtime required. By the third day, the skin is calm and the improvement in texture becomes clearly visible.
Results Compound Over Time
Each session triggers a fresh wave of collagen synthesis. The full results of a course are not complete immediately after the final session — collagen continues to remodel and improve for up to 6 months afterwards, delivering compounding, increasingly impressive results.
The Microneedling Session — Step by Step
A thorough, professional process from consultation through to aftercare — ensuring safety, comfort and optimal results at every stage.
A detailed consultation covering your skin concerns, medical history, current skincare routine and any contraindications. We identify the specific areas to treat, determine appropriate needle depths for each zone and confirm you are a suitable candidate for microneedling. This step is never rushed.
The treatment area is thoroughly cleansed to remove all traces of makeup, product and bacteria. A professional topical numbing cream is then applied and left for 30–40 minutes to achieve full anaesthetic effect before the needling begins. This step is critical to your comfort during treatment.
Using a sterile single-use needle cartridge, the microneedling device is systematically passed over the treatment area in multiple directions — creating thousands of precise, controlled microchannels at calibrated depths. Your esthetician adjusts needle depth and technique depending on the area (deeper over scars, shallower near the eye area). The session typically takes 20–30 minutes.
Immediately after needling, a targeted serum is applied to the freshly needled skin. With the microchannels still open, the serum penetrates to a depth entirely impossible with regular topical application. Hyaluronic acid, Vitamin C, peptides or PRP are used depending on your treatment protocol — delivering maximum impact while your skin is in its most receptive state.
A cooling, anti-inflammatory mask is applied to soothe redness, calm the skin's response and support healing. After removal, a lightweight broad-spectrum SPF 50 is applied — essential protection for skin that is temporarily more photosensitive after microneedling. Aftercare instructions are reviewed before you leave.

Everything you need to know about microneedling in Dehradun at Antheia Enhance.
Does microneedling hurt?
With the numbing cream we apply beforehand, the treatment is very manageable. Most clients describe it as mild tingling or a light scratching sensation — not pain. More sensitive areas (forehead, nose bridge) feel more than the cheeks, but the numbing cream makes the overall experience entirely tolerable for the vast majority of clients.
How many sessions are needed for acne scars?
Most clients with acne scars see a significant visible improvement after 3–4 sessions and maximum results after 6 sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart. Shallow rolling scars respond fastest; deeper ice-pick or boxcar scars require more sessions and patience. We'll assess your specific scar type and set realistic expectations at your consultation.
What is the price of microneedling in Dehradun?
Pricing varies based on the area being treated, which serum protocol is used and whether PRP is incorporated. We offer competitive, transparent pricing and per-session savings for clients booking a full treatment course. Please call or WhatsApp for current rates and package details.
Who should not get microneedling?
Microneedling is not recommended if you have active acne breakouts in the treatment area, open wounds, eczema or psoriasis flares, a history of keloid scarring, blood-thinning medication, pregnancy or isotretinoin (Accutane) use in the past 6 months. A thorough consultation before your first session screens for all contraindications.
How does microneedling compare to a chemical peel?
They work on different levels of the skin. Microneedling targets the dermis — stimulating structural collagen for scars, pores and deep lines. Chemical peels work on the epidermis — resurfacing and brightening for pigmentation and surface texture. For scars and pores, microneedling is definitively superior. Many clients benefit from both treatments in a planned alternating protocol — we can design a combined programme at consultation.
How long do microneedling results last?
Collagen produced by microneedling is new tissue — permanent. Scar improvements do not regress. Anti-ageing results are maintained for 12–18 months after a course before natural ageing continues, at which point maintenance sessions every 4–6 months sustain the improvement. Results also continue improving for 3–6 months after the last session as collagen remodelling completes.
