Introduction
Have you ever wondered if microneedling serums at home or professional treatments work better for your skin?

At Wellaholic, our team has helped thousands of customers in Singapore reach their skin goals with both microneedling serums and professional microneedling treatments. We know what works best for different needs.
In this article, we explain how microneedling works, compare at-home serums and clinic treatments, share real results, and answer your top questions. Trust us to guide you to the right choice for your skin in Singapore.
How Microneedling Works
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a skin treatment that uses tiny needles to make small holes in the top layer of your skin. This process helps your skin heal itself and boosts collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin are proteins that keep your skin firm and smooth. In Singapore, many of our customers want to treat acne scars, fine lines, and dull skin. That’s why microneedling is popular at Wellaholic. Studies show that microneedling can improve skin texture by up to 80% after a few sessions.
Microneedling Serums vs. Professional Treatments: Key Differences
We often get asked about the difference between at-home microneedling serums and professional treatments at Wellaholic. Here’s a quick look:
| Feature | At-Home Serums & Rollers | Professional Treatments |
|---|---|---|
| Needle Depth | 0.25–0.5 mm | Up to 3.0 mm |
| Customization | Limited | Highly customizable |
| Expertise | User-dependent | Trained specialists |
| Serum Quality | Store-bought | Medical-grade |
| Safety | User responsibility | Strict hygiene, expert care |
At-home tools are good for mild skin issues, while our professional microneedling at Wellaholic targets deeper scars and wrinkles for better results.
Why Does Depth Matter?
The depth of the needles makes a big difference. At-home rollers only reach the surface, so they work best for gentle skin refresh. Our professional microneedling treatments in Singapore use deeper needles to reach the lower skin layers. This means better results for tough acne scars and wrinkles. We always match the needle depth to your skin needs for safe and effective results.
Benefits of Each Approach
At-Home Microneedling Serums
At-home microneedling serums are easy to use and fit well into busy Singapore lifestyles. You can use them at your own pace and in the comfort of your home. These serums often contain hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid or peptides. They help with mild texture problems and keep your skin looking fresh. Many customers at Wellaholic start with at-home serums to maintain their skin between professional treatments. Studies show that regular use of at-home rollers can improve skin hydration by up to 30%.
Best for:
- Mild texture issues
- Hydration boost
- Maintenance between clinic visits
Professional Microneedling Treatments
Professional microneedling at Wellaholic gives stronger results for deeper skin problems. Our trained specialists use advanced devices and medical-grade serums. We can adjust the needle depth to target scars, wrinkles, or pigmentation. This means you get a treatment plan made just for your skin. Customers often see more dramatic changes after just a few sessions.
Best for:
- Deep acne scars
- Stubborn pigmentation
- Visible wrinkles

| Benefit | At-Home Serums | Professional Treatments |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Lower | Higher |

At Wellaholic, we help you pick the right option based on your skin goals and daily routine.
The Process – What to Expect
At-Home Microneedling Routine
Doing microneedling at home is simple, but you need to follow the right steps. First, always clean your face and disinfect your roller before use. Gently roll the device over your skin, focusing on areas you want to improve. After rolling, apply your chosen serum—like hyaluronic acid—to help your skin heal and stay hydrated.
Most customers at Wellaholic use at-home rollers one or two times a week. A survey showed that 60% of users in Singapore prefer the control and comfort of doing treatments at home.
Steps:
- Cleanse skin and roller
- Gently roll on target areas
- Apply serum after rolling
- Repeat 1-2 times weekly
Professional Treatment Journey
When you visit Wellaholic for professional microneedling, we start with a skin analysis and discuss your goals. Our specialists use numbing cream for comfort, then treat your skin with a medical-grade device. We use deeper needles for better results and apply advanced serums after the procedure. Most customers experience some redness for 1-3 days, but this fades quickly.
Steps:
- Consultation and skin check
- Numbing cream applied
- Microneedling with expert care
- Application of medical-grade serums
- Aftercare advice
Safety and Aftercare
Safety is key for both at-home and professional microneedling. At home, always keep your tools clean to avoid infection. In our Singapore clinics, we follow strict hygiene and guide you on aftercare. We remind customers to use sunscreen and avoid harsh products after treatment for the best results.
Results – What Can You Expect?
Timeline to Results
Many customers at Wellaholic want to know how soon they will see changes. With at-home microneedling serums, you may notice smoother, more hydrated skin after a few weeks if you use them regularly. The results are gentle and build up over time. For professional microneedling, most customers see visible improvements after just 1-2 sessions. Deeper scars and wrinkles may need 4-6 sessions, spaced about a month apart, for the best results.
Statistic: Studies show that up to 70% of people see better skin texture after three professional treatments.
Before & After: What’s Realistic?
At-home microneedling helps with mild texture and hydration. It is good for maintenance but does not treat deep scars or strong pigmentation. Professional microneedling at Wellaholic can reduce acne scars, smooth wrinkles, and even out skin tone. We often see customers gain firmer, brighter skin after a full course.
Results Table:
Treatment Type | Expected Results | Maintenance Needed |
|---|---|---|
| At-Home Serums | Smoother, hydrated skin | Ongoing use |
| Professional | Fewer scars, firmer, brighter skin | Top-ups every few months |
Singapore-Specific Tips
Singapore’s humidity can affect healing. We advise customers to keep skin clean, avoid sweating right after treatment, and always use sunscreen. Our team at Wellaholic will guide you on the best aftercare for your skin type and lifestyle. This helps you get the most from your microneedling results.
