Microneedling Treatment in Thane & Mumbai
Microneedling, also known as collagen-induction therapy, uses fine, sterile micro-needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin — stimulating the body’s natural collagen and elastin production. At KP Dermatology, Thane, Dr. Prratyush More (MBBS, DDVL — 14+ years of clinical experience) performs this treatment for acne scars, large pores, and fine lines.
Microneedling works particularly well for textural concerns like acne scarring, where it helps rebuild the skin’s underlying collagen structure — often combined with topical serums or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for enhanced results.
Understanding Microneedling
Microneedling uses a device with fine, sterile needles to create thousands of microscopic channels in the skin. This controlled injury triggers the body’s natural wound-healing response, stimulating fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin — gradually improving skin texture, firmness, and the appearance of scars over subsequent weeks.
Dr. Prratyush More adjusts needle depth based on the treatment area and specific concern — deeper for acne scars, shallower for fine lines and pore refinement — ensuring an effective yet safe treatment for your skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about microneedling, its safety, and results — answered by Dr. Prratyush More.
Is microneedling painful?
A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment, making the procedure well-tolerated for most patients. You may feel mild pressure or a slight prickling sensation during the session.
How many sessions will I need?
Most patients require 4–6 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, for visible improvement in acne scars or texture. Dr. More will assess your specific concern and outline an expected treatment course.
Is there any downtime?
Most patients experience mild redness, similar to a sunburn, for 1–3 days after treatment. Makeup can typically be resumed the following day, and normal activities can continue immediately, avoiding direct sun exposure.
Can microneedling be done on active acne?
Microneedling is generally avoided on actively inflamed acne lesions, as it can spread bacteria and worsen breakouts. Dr. More will recommend controlling active acne first before starting a microneedling course for scarring.
Is microneedling safe for darker skin tones?
Yes, microneedling carries a lower risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation compared to ablative lasers, making it a good option for darker skin tones when performed correctly. Dr. More will advise on appropriate aftercare to further minimise this risk.
