Microneedling

Microneedling (collagen induction therapy) uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the dermis, triggering the body's wound-healing response and stimulating new collagen and elastin production. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, it effectively reduces acne scars, improves skin texture, and is safe for all skin tones — a key advantage over heat-based laser alternatives.

Common Questions

Microneedling — Q & A

How many sessions do I need?
The AAD recommends 3 to 5 sessions spaced every 4 to 6 weeks for optimal acne scar improvement. Dannays assesses your skin and recommends a course based on your specific concern.
Is microneedling safe for dark skin?
Yes. Unlike laser procedures, microneedling does not use heat energy and does not carry the same post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation risk. It is one of the most inclusive aesthetic treatments available.
What is PRF and should I add it?
PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) is derived from your own blood and applied during treatment to enhance collagen stimulation. It is particularly effective for acne scar improvement and safe for all skin tones.
How soon will I see results?
Most patients notice improved texture after the first session. Full results from a complete course are typically visible about 3 months after the last treatment as collagen remodeling completes.
What should I avoid beforehand?
Stop retinoids 5 to 7 days before. Avoid active breakouts in the treatment area and do not treat over sunburned skin. Dannays reviews all prep instructions at your consultation.
