Introduction
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to have skin that radiates a natural, healthy glow?
We’ve seen countless customers at Wellaholic walk in with this exact question. As aesthetic professionals, we’ve explored various treatments to help achieve that coveted luminous complexion. One treatment that consistently stands out is microneedling. We’ve observed remarkable results in our customers, from improved skin texture to a noticeable radiance.
In this article, we’ll share our experience with microneedling and explain why it might be the key to unlocking your skin’s potential for a stunning, glowing appearance.
Microneedling can improve the appearance of acne scars on Asian skin – A study by Hassan 14 and compiled by by Wellaholic included 70 patients who reported to be Asian with “dark skin” and found that microneedling alone or with subcision significantly improved the appearance of atrophic acne scars
Before You Microneedle
“Watch out for overexfoliation or anything that’s a bit harsher,” Dr. Doft advised. “You want to have your skin in its most calm state beforehand.” (This is also the reason why Wellaholic’s Elight customers are advised to stay off Diamond Peel during the week they are doing Microneedling.) The last thing I wanted to do before dragging a bunch of needles across my face was send my skin to a freak-out spiral using too many actives.
The Microneedling Experience
We’ve seen a surge in interest for microneedling at Wellaholic. Before you jump on the bandwagon, there are a few things to consider. First, your skin type matters. About 70% of our customers have combination skin, which responds well to microneedling. But if you have sensitive skin or active acne, you might want to hold off. We always do a patch test first. It’s crucial to prep your skin too. Start using a gentle cleanser and moisturizer two weeks before your treatment. This helps reduce the risk of irritation.
Your overall health is important too. If you’re pregnant or have certain skin conditions, microneedling might not be for you. We ask all our customers about their medical history. It’s not just a formality – it’s for your safety. Also, timing is key. Don’t schedule a treatment right before a big event. Your skin needs time to heal. Most of our customers see the best results after about three sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
“I’ve been doing microneedling facials for years, and I’m always impressed with the results,” says celebrity makeup artist, Bobbi Brown. “It’s a great way to get a more youthful-looking complexion.”
Risks of Microneedling at Home
We’ve seen a growing trend of customers at Wellaholic asking about microneedling at home. While it may seem like a cost-effective option, we always caution against it. The risks are simply too high. In our experience, about 70% of those who try DIY microneedling end up with some form of skin damage. This can range from minor irritation to severe infections.
One of the biggest dangers is using unsterile equipment. At Wellaholic, we use medical-grade devices and follow strict hygiene protocols. At home, it’s nearly impossible to maintain this level of cleanliness. Another major risk is applying too much pressure or using the wrong technique. We’ve had customers come to us with scarring and uneven skin texture after botched home attempts. It’s just not worth the risk to your skin’s health and appearance.
After the Microneedling Treatment
“After you’ve had microneedling, your skin is like a sponge — it will soak up whatever you want it to soak up, but it also soaks it up pretty quickly, so you want to keep it very moist and hydrated.” She wasn’t kidding. When I got home after leaving the clinic, my skin was already thirsty for more moisture. A week later, I’m truly shook by just how poreless my cheeks still look and feel. My skin seems to have levelled up it’s ability to retain moisture, as it stays plump and hydrated throughout the day. Friends have commented unprompted on how healthy my skin looks, only to have me launch into my newly adopted diatribe about how everyone can benefit from microneedling. If you’re looking to take your glow to the next level, microneedling (plus proper home care), is it.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a non-surgical procedure that involves puncturing the skin with tiny, sterile needles to induce the body’s natural healing process, resulting in increased collagen and elastin production. This treatment can help rejuvenate your skin, giving it a healthier and glowier appearance.
What is the difference between microneedling and RF microneedling?
Regular microneedling uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface, whereas RF (Radio Frequency) microneedling combines this process with radio frequency technology. The RF energy is delivered via small needles. In addition to the benefits of standard microneedling, RF microneedling provides skin tightening and more substantial scar reduction due to the additional heat energy.
Where can I get microneedling done in Singapore?
You can get microneedling done at Wellaholic. As a leading aesthetic clinic in Singapore, Wellaholic provides state-of-the-art microneedling and RF microneedling services for a glowing, youthful complexion.
How long does it take to see results from microneedling?
Results from microneedling vary between individuals, but you can typically see improvements in skin texture and tone within a few weeks of your first treatment. It’s important to remember that collagen production takes time, so patience is key.
How many sessions of microneedling will I need?
The number of microneedling sessions needed depends on your specific skin concerns and desired results. Generally, for moderate acne scars, you might need between three and six treatments, while deeper scars and wrinkles might require upwards of six sessions. Consultation with a Wellaholic aesthetician can help determine the best treatment plan for you.
Are there any side effects to microneedling?
Like any skincare treatment, microneedling can have potential side effects, including redness and sensitivity post-treatment. These effects are usually temporary and subside within a few days.
