Microneedling in Gurgaon
Microneedling uses very fine needles to make tiny channels in the skin, which prompts your body to build new collagen. It helps with acne scars, open pores, stretch marks and rough texture. With radiofrequency added, it can reach deeper scars and tighten skin. Your dermatologist chooses the depth and settings for your skin.
In short
Microneedling at House of Aetheria, Sector 65, Gurugram, treats acne scars, open pores, stretch marks, fine lines and uneven texture by triggering new collagen. We also offer microneedling with radiofrequency (MNRF) for deeper scars and skin laxity. Most people need 3 to 6 sessions, about 4 weeks apart, with a day or two of redness.

Looking after your skin

Straight talk
What results look like
Collagen builds slowly, so results appear over weeks and keep improving across a course of sessions. Microneedling softens scars and improves texture, but it does not erase deep scars completely. For some scar types, other treatments work better or work best together, and we explain the options on our acne and acne scar page. Results vary from person to person.
