Collagen Induction Therapy
Microneedling for Acne Scars, Pores & Scalp
Collagen induction therapy using controlled micro-needling for acne scars, open pores, texture improvement, and scalp hair support with optional PRP.
Microneedling creates controlled micro-channels in the skin or scalp using fine needles to trigger a natural wound healing response and collagen induction. At Skin Clinic by Dr. Eram Razzaq, it is used for atrophic acne scars, open pores, dull texture, and scalp hair protocols — with PRP or exosomes added when appropriate for enhanced results. A course of 4 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is typically recommended.

Treatment Overview
What is microneedling?
Microneedling (collagen induction therapy) uses a device with fine needles to create thousands of controlled micro-injuries in the skin surface. These micro-channels stimulate the natural healing cascade — releasing growth factors and triggering collagen and elastin production in the dermis. At Skin Clinic by Dr. Eram Razzaq, needle depth is adjusted from 0.5mm to 2.5mm based on the treatment area and concern. Topical PRP, exosomes, or growth factor serums are applied post-needling to enhance the regenerative effect through open channels.

FAQs
Common questions before booking
These answers are general guidance. Your actual plan depends on examination, skin type, medical history, and treatment suitability.
What is microneedling used for?
Microneedling treats acne scars, open pores, dull texture, and scalp hair loss protocols when combined with PRP or exosomes.
Is microneedling painful?
Topical numbing is applied before treatment. Most patients feel pressure or mild prickling that is well-tolerated.
How many sessions are needed?
A course of 4 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is typical for acne scars and skin quality improvement.
Can it treat acne scars?
Yes. Microneedling is effective for shallow atrophic scars including rolling and boxcar types through collagen induction.
Can microneedling be done on the scalp?
Yes. Scalp microneedling with PRP is used for androgenetic alopecia and telogen effluvium as part of a hair restoration protocol.
Is there downtime?
Redness and sensitivity are present for 24 to 48 hours. Most patients are presentable after 1 to 2 days.
Can I wear makeup after treatment?
Makeup should be avoided for at least 24 hours to allow micro-channels to close and reduce infection risk.
What is the benefit of combining PRP with microneedling?
PRP applied after microneedling delivers platelet growth factors through open channels, enhancing collagen induction and improving treatment results.
Who should avoid microneedling?
Patients with active acne infection, cold sores at the treatment site, poor healing history, or certain blood conditions may need alternatives.
Do I need a consultation first?
Yes. Treatment depth, session frequency, and PRP combination are all planned after individual assessment.
