Microneedling
Microneedling uses controlled micro-injuries to trigger the skin's natural collagen and elastin production, improving texture, firmness, and overall skin quality over a course of treatments. At Delta Laser Centre, we offer different microneedling modalities: standard and with PRP so the treatment can be matched to your skin concerns and goals.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling uses a device with fine needles to create thousands of microscopic channels in the skin. This controlled process triggers the skin's wound-healing response, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin without removing or damaging the surrounding tissue. The result is progressive improvement in skin texture, tone, firmness, and the appearance of scarring over a series of treatments.
At Delta Laser Centre, microneedling is performed using DP4 Pen microneedling device. Treatments can be enhanced with the addition of platelet-rich plasma and exosomes depending on your skin concerns and the level of improvement you are looking to achieve.
What It Helps With
- Acne Scarring: Remodels scar tissue and improves the texture of skin affected by acne
- Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Stimulates collagen to soften lines and improve skin elasticity
- Skin Texture: Smooths rough, uneven, or enlarged-pore skin for a more refined surface
- Skin Laxity: Firms and tightens skin that has lost structure over time
- Hyperpigmentation: Supports more even skin tone by encouraging healthy cell turnover
- Dull Skin: Restores radiance and vitality to skin that has lost its natural glow
Treatment Options
Microneedling with DP4® DP4® is a precision microneedling device that creates consistent, controlled micro-channels across the skin. It is suitable for a wide range of skin concerns and is a strong standalone treatment for patients looking to improve texture, tone, and early signs of ageing.
Microneedling with PRP Platelet-rich plasma is derived from your own blood and contains growth factors that accelerate tissue repair and collagen production. When applied during a microneedling session, PRP is drawn into the micro-channels created by the device, enhancing and extending the skin's healing response for more pronounced results.
Microneedling with Exosomes This option combines microneedling with a topical exosome serum applied during treatment. The micro-channels allow the active ingredients to penetrate deeply into the skin, supporting cellular renewal and enhancing the overall outcome of the session.

Frequently Asked Questions
Not really as most patients find it manageable. A topical anesthetic may be applied before treatment to minimise discomfort. During the procedure, most patients describe a mild prickling or scratching sensation. The face may feel warm and sensitive immediately after, similar to a mild sunburn, which typically settles within a few hours.
Yes. Microneedling is effective on the neck, décolletage, abdomen, and other body areas where stretch marks, scarring, or skin laxity are concerns. Treatment settings are adjusted based on the area and the depth of concern.
In the first 24 to 48 hours, keep it simple. A gentle, fragrance-free moisturiser and broad-spectrum SPF are all that is needed. Avoid active ingredients such as retinol, vitamin C, and exfoliating acids until the skin has fully settled, typically around day 3 to 5.
No. Home dermarollers use much shorter needles at inconsistent depths and without the precision of a clinical device. They carry a higher risk of infection, uneven results, and skin damage if used incorrectly. Clinical microneedling with SkinPen® uses controlled, sterile, single-use cartridges at depths matched to your skin's specific needs — the two are not comparable in terms of safety or outcome.
