Microneedling facial treatment: Session prices & reviews in Turkey

Microneedling: What is it?

Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) or Percutaneous Collagen Induction (PCI),is a modern aesthetic technique gaining popularity in skincare. The procedure uses a device equipped with micro-needles to create tiny, controlled perforations in the skin's outer layers. The skin responds by triggering the production of collagen and elastin fibers, which naturally rebuild and rejuvenate the skin.

This technique delivers visible results with minimal downtime. Many patients in Turkey choose it for its effectiveness and tolerability.

Indications for microneedling

Originally developed for skin rejuvenation, microneedling has evolved into a versatile treatment addressing multiple skin concerns. The technique works well for:

• Skin rejuvenation: reduces wrinkles and refines texture.
• Scar treatment: acne scars, surgical marks, and injury-related scarring respond to this approach.
• Stretch marks: improves appearance and color over time.
• Dilated pores: visibly tightens and minimizes pore size.
• Hyperpigmentation: lightens dark patches and evens skin tone.
• Acne scars: reduces the appearance of post-acne scarring.
• Alopecia: stimulates hair growth in thinning areas, often in combination with other therapies.
• Hyperhidrosis: Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling can reduce excessive sweating.

To find the right approach for your specific situation, speak with a dermatology expert through Turkey Santé's partner clinics.

Devices used: Dermaroller, Dermapen or Derma-Stamp?

Clinics in Turkey rely on advanced technology and high-performance medical devices for microneedling. The choice between Dermaroller, Dermapen, or Derma-Stamp, along with needle length, directly influences treatment outcomes.

Needle lengths typically range from 0.5 to 3 mm. Shorter needles suit surface-level concerns like rejuvenation or pore refinement. Longer needles penetrate deeper to address stubborn scars and stretch marks.

Since every skin profile differs, needle length gets tailored to your individual needs. Your dermatologist will assess your skin and design a protocol that fits your specific goals and condition.

Process of Microneedling session in Turkey

Your dermatologist will create a customized treatment plan based on your skin's current state and your goals. Most patients benefit from 3 to 4 sessions spaced appropriately apart. Each appointment typically takes around 30 minutes.

Step 1: Preliminary consultation

A physician reviews your objectives, medical background, skin type, and the specific concern you want to address. During this phase, your dermatologist selects the right needle diameter and perforation depth to achieve your desired outcome.

Step 2: Preparation

Before treatment, thorough skin preparation takes place. The skin is cleansed and disinfected carefully to ensure hygiene and maximize results.

Microneedling is generally comfortable and doesn't require anesthesia. If you prefer extra comfort, a topical anesthetic cream can be applied 30 minutes before the procedure.

To boost the regenerative effects, a specialized serum blend infuses the skin. This cocktail contains vitamins, hyaluronic acid, and peptides that stimulate collagen production and enhance skin quality visibly.

Step 3: Cell reactivation with microneedling

A precision device creates tiny micro-perforations at different depths within the dermis. This triggers deep cellular renewal, improving skin texture and firmness while softening wrinkles, fine lines, and scars.

During treatment, you'll feel a light tingling sensation. Afterward, mild pinkness may appear, but this fades quickly.

A soothing repair cream is applied post-treatment to calm the skin and support the collagen-building process.

Microneedling results

Microneedling results develop gradually rather than overnight, but they prove striking when you see them unfold.

Right after treatment, expect some redness and mild swelling, signs that healing processes have begun. These typically fade within 24 to 48 hours. For the next few days, daily sun protection is essential. Avoid heat sources like direct sun, steam rooms, saunas, and pools. Skip heavy makeup or skincare products except for your repair balm.

By week two, visible changes emerge. Your skin looks brighter with a more balanced tone.

Full results appear around 3 to 6 weeks. Skin feels firmer, fine lines become less noticeable, and pores tighten. Your complexion takes on a refined, smooth texture.
