Iluminara Aesthetic offers advanced microneedling treatments using medical-grade devices to stimulate natural collagen production and improve skin texture, tone and overall appearance. Also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), this minimally invasive treatment helps the skin repair itself from within - all with little to no downtime.
Ideal for those wanting to refresh dull, ageing or acne-prone skin, microneedling is suitable for all skin types and delivers long-lasting, visible results.
Thousands of tiny microchannels are created in the skin, triggering a natural healing response that boosts collagen and elastin production. The result? Firmer, smoother, brighter skin without harsh chemicals or lasers.
Package Options:
Downtime: None to 72 hours (mild redness)
Results Duration: Up to 12 months
Pregnancy safe: Yes, with modified treatment plan
A topical numbing cream is applied 30–45 minutes before the procedure, so most patients feel only a light prickling sensation or mild vibration. Immediately afterward, your skin will look and feel like a mild sunburn (redness and tight sensation). This initial redness usually fades within 24 to 48 hours, though minor peeling can last up to a week.
While skin texture and glow improve within 1 to 2 weeks after your first session, optimal results require a series of treatments. Most providers recommend 3 to 6 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Deep acne scars, deep wrinkles, or stretch marks often require the upper end of that range.
Keep your skincare minimal and gentle for the first 3 days to protect your compromised skin barrier:
First 24 hours: Use only a gentle cleanser and the hydrating serum recommended by your provider (usually hyaluronic acid). Avoid wearing makeup, sweating heavily, or touching your face.
Days 2–7: Wear a broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen (SPF 30+) daily, as your skin will be extra sensitive to UV rays.
Avoid: Skip harsh active ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, and exfoliating acids (AHAs/BHAs) for at least 5 to 7 days.
