How does microneedling work?
Medical microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure in which a special applicator with very fine, sterile needles is guided over the skin in a controlled manner. These microneedles create thousands of tiny channels in the dermis.
This targeted stimulation triggers a biological cascade:
- Collagen induction: The body releases growth factors that stimulate the formation of new collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.
- Increased absorption of active ingredients: The micro-channels created act as channels through which highly concentrated serums (e.g. vitamins or hyaluronic acid) can be introduced deep into the skin.
- Cell regeneration: The uppermost layer of skin regenerates, leading to a refinement of the pores and a smoothing of the skin's surface.
Advantages of microneedling
- Natural results: The skin regenerates itself without altering facial features.
- Long-term effect: The formation of new collagen is a sustainable process that permanently firms the skin.
- Versatility: Safe to use on almost all skin types and on various areas of the face and body.
- Minimal downtime: Thanks to modern technology, the skin quickly calms down and is socially presentable again.
- Precise depth: Medical devices for maximum effectiveness compared to home devices.

Areas of application
At The Eram Clinic, we use microneedling in a targeted manner to address specific skin needs at the highest level. The treatment is versatile and ideal for:
- Anti-ageing: smoothing of fine lines and expression lines.
- Pore refinement: reduction of enlarged pores for an even skin texture.
- Scar treatment: Effective reduction of acne scars or superficial tissue changes.
- Sun damage: Lightening of pigment spots and improvement of skin elasticity after UV exposure.
- Glow effect: Revitalisation of dull, tired skin for a fresh complexion.
The Eram difference: medical depth & safety
There are significant differences in quality when it comes to microneedling. While cosmetic rollers often only have a superficial effect, at The Eram Clinic we use medical devices that allow precise adjustment of the penetration depth. This guarantees that we reach exactly the skin layers where collagen regeneration takes place.
Our specialists combine needling with exclusive cocktails of active ingredients that are individually tailored to your skin type. In a sterile and professional environment, we ensure that your skin receives the best possible care and maximum safety.

Frequently asked questions about microneedling
By applying a special anaesthetic cream beforehand, the treatment is very well tolerated by most patients. You will only feel a slight tingling or pressure sensation on the skin.
Immediately after needling, the skin is reddened, similar to a mild sunburn. This redness usually subsides within 24 to 48 hours. Light make-up can be applied the very next day.
You will often notice an initial freshness effect after just a few days. However, as collagen production takes time, the final results of skin tightening and scar improvement will be visible after around two to three months.
Avoid direct sunlight, solariums, saunas and chlorinated water for approximately one week. The use of a high sun protection factor (SPF 50) is mandatory after treatment to protect the new skin.
Microneedling should not be used in cases of acute acne, inflammatory skin conditions, herpes infections or when taking blood-thinning medication. We will clarify this in detail during a personal consultation.
Yes, combining this treatment with skin boosters or dental hygiene (for an all-round well-groomed appearance) is very popular. At The Eram Clinic, we would be happy to create a holistic aesthetic plan for you.
