Collagen Medi Facial (Microneedling)

The Collagen Medi Facial at Dr Plus Aesthetics Clinic uses medical-grade microneedling to create controlled micro-channels in the skin, stimulating a natural collagen repair response that improves texture, reduces pore size, softens fine lines, and fades acne scarring.

Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that triggers the skin's natural wound-healing cascade through the creation of controlled micro-injuries. At Dr Plus Aesthetics Clinic, this modality is delivered as the Collagen Medi Facial — a medically guided treatment session that combines microneedling with targeted active serums to amplify collagen stimulation and address a range of skin concerns. The procedure uses a sterile, automated microneedling device to create thousands of microscopic channels across the skin surface at a precise, adjustable depth. These channels stimulate fibroblast activation — the same cells that produce collagen and elastin — triggering a regenerative response that gradually thickens and firms the dermis. The micro-channels also enhance transdermal absorption of topical actives by up to 80%, allowing the clinic to deliver growth factors, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, or niacinamide directly into the dermis where they would otherwise be unable to penetrate. At Dr Plus, the Collagen Medi Facial is particularly effective for patients with fine lines and early wrinkles, enlarged pores, post-acne scarring, stretch marks, or general skin dullness. It is suitable for all skin types and tones, including those that may not be candidates for aggressive laser treatments. The treatment begins with a cleanse and application of topical numbing cream 30 minutes before the session. Once the skin is numb, Dr Lee performs the microneedling pass systematically across the face, adjusting needle depth based on the treatment zone and individual concern. A customised serum cocktail is applied to the skin during the treatment to be driven in via the open channels. Post-treatment, patients experience mild redness and a sensation similar to mild sunburn, which typically resolves within 12–24 hours. A course of 3–6 monthly sessions is typically recommended. Results are cumulative, with the most noticeable improvements in texture and scar appearance usually visible from the third session onward.
