Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), is a clinically proven treatment that stimulates collagen and elastin production by creating micro-injuries in the skin. This triggers the body's natural healing response, leading to firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.
At Khoo Massage Therapies, we enhance our Microneedling treatment by using Hyaluronic Acid (HA)—a powerful, skin-plumping ingredient that hydrates, soothes, and enhances collagen synthesis, delivering optimal results with minimal downtime.

Microneedling – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. How does Microneedling work?
Microneedling creates tiny micro-injuries in the skin using ultra-fine needles. These controlled punctures trigger the body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production—the proteins responsible for skin firmness, elasticity, and regeneration.
2. What skin concerns can Microneedling treat?
Microneedling is highly effective for:
✔ Fine lines & wrinkles – Boosts collagen to smooth and firm skin.
✔ Acne scars & stretch marks – Helps remodel scar tissue and even out texture.
✔ Enlarged pores & uneven skin texture – Refines pores and promotes skin renewal.
✔ Hyperpigmentation & sun damage – Encourages faster skin cell turnover for a brighter complexion.
✔ Hair thinning & scalp health – When combined with PRP or growth serums, it stimulates hair follicle growth.
3. Is Microneedling painful?
Most clients describe Microneedling as a mild to moderate prickling sensation, similar to light scratching.
4. How many sessions do I need to see results?
For general skin rejuvenation: 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
For scars, stretch marks, or deep wrinkles: 4–6 sessions may be needed.
For hair loss treatments: 5–6 sessions combined with PRP or growth serums yield optimal results.
5. How long does it take to see results?
You’ll notice improvements in skin texture and radiance within 7–10 days, with full collagen regeneration occurring over 4–6 weeks. For scars and deeper concerns, results build over multiple sessions.
6. What is the downtime after Microneedling?
Most clients experience mild redness and sensitivity for 24–48 hours, similar to a mild sunburn. By day 3–5, skin typically starts to heal, and any flaking or dryness subsides. Full recovery usually takes a week, but you can resume most activities the next day with proper aftercare.
7. Is Microneedling safe for all skin types?
Yes! Microneedling is safe for all skin tones, including darker skin, as it does not use heat or aggressive chemicals that could cause hyperpigmentation.
8. Can I wear makeup after Microneedling?
It’s best to avoid makeup for 24 hours to allow the skin to heal. After this period, mineral-based makeup is preferred if coverage is needed.
9. What should I avoid after a Microneedling session?
Direct sun exposure – Use SPF 30+ daily.
Intense workouts & sweating – Avoid for 24–48 hours.
Retinol, acids (AHA/BHA), & harsh exfoliants – Pause for 5–7 days.
Saunas, steam rooms, & swimming pools – Avoid for 48 hours.
10. How long do microneedling results last?
Results can last 6–12 months, depending on skincare maintenance, lifestyle, and follow-up sessions. Regular treatments help maintain collagen production for long-term skin health.
11. Is Microneedling better than chemical peels or laser treatments?
It depends on your skin concerns:
Microneedling – Ideal for collagen stimulation, scars, wrinkles, and hair loss with minimal downtime.
Chemical Peels – Better for surface-level pigmentation, acne, and dull skin.
Laser Treatments – Best for deep wrinkles, severe scarring, and pigmentation but with longer downtime.
