Healthy, smooth skin depends on strong collagen. As we age, collagen reduces. Acne scars, open pores, fine lines and dull skin start becoming more visible. One of the most trusted ways to improve these concerns is microneedling treatment in Delhi at DermaStation.
Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, is a safe and minimally invasive procedure. It uses very fine needles to create tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-channels trigger the body’s natural healing response and boost collagen and elastin production. Over time, this leads to firmer, smoother and clearer skin.
If you are planning this treatment, it is important to understand that results develop gradually. Let us look at what usually happens after 3, 6 and 12 months.
Month 1: Healing and Early Changes
Right after your session, your skin may feel slightly warm and tight. Mild redness and swelling are common. It may look like a light sunburn for 24 – 48 hours. Some people also notice slight dryness or flaking as the skin renews itself.
This phase is very important because:
- Collagen production has started internally
- The skin is repairing itself
- New cells are forming
In the first month, there are mild visible changes. You may notice:
- Slight improvement in skin texture
- A mild glow
- Softening of very fine lines
However, major changes are not immediate. Patience is important. Following post-treatment care, using sunscreen and gentle skincare products will help your skin heal properly.
Month 3: Visible Improvement and Collagen Boost
By the third month, collagen production is at its peak. This is when most patients begin to see clear improvement.
Your skin may look:
- Firmer and tighter
- Smoother in texture
- More even in tone
- Fresher and healthier
Acne scars may start appearing softer. Open pores may look smaller. Fine lines reduce gradually. If you have uneven texture or mild pigmentation, you may notice visible refinement.
This stage often brings the most satisfying changes. Many patients choose follow-up sessions around this time to enhance and maintain the results. Regular sessions help keep collagen levels active and prevent early signs of aging.
Month 6: Stronger, Healthier Skin
At six months, the improvements are more stable and long-lasting. Collagen and elastin levels are stronger, which improves skin quality overall.
You may notice:
- Better skin elasticity
- Reduced appearance of acne scars
- Smaller-looking pores
- More even complexion
- Smoother surface
Skin feels thicker and healthier from within. Sun damage and old marks may look lighter. The overall glow becomes more natural rather than temporary.
Results at this stage can last several months, depending on your skin type, lifestyle and sun protection habits. However, factors like aging, stress and sun exposure can still affect skin quality over time.
To maintain results:
- Use daily sunscreen (SPF 30 or above)
- Include Vitamin C serums
- Use retinoids only if prescribed
- Avoid harsh scrubs
Month 12: Long-Term Results
After one year, most patients notice that their skin looks younger and more refined compared to before starting treatment.
Benefits that continue at this stage include:
- Improved skin texture
- Softer scars
- Reduced fine lines
- Better firmness
- Healthier glow
While collagen production naturally slows with age, the improvements achieved through microneedling remain visible. However, the treatment is not permanent. Maintenance sessions every 6 – 12 months are usually recommended to keep the skin looking fresh.
With proper skincare and expert guidance, results can last longer and remain consistent.
