At Clínica Terrace by Dr Mara Marques, we offer microneedling treatments for those looking to improve the health and appearance of their skin effectively and safely. This procedure, carried out with specialised equipment, stimulates skin regeneration.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses micro-needles to create small, controlled perforations on the surface of the skin. These micro-perforations stimulate the natural production of collagen and elastin – essential components for firmer, more even and rejuvenated skin.
This treatment also enhances the absorption of cosmetic actives applied during the procedure, maximising their benefits.
Suitable for skin with acne marks, scars or stretch marks.
Suitable for ageing skin.

Suitable for skin with moderate hyperpigmentation.

Recommended 4 to 6 sessions , 1 every 4 weeks for a luminous effect. In preparation for an

Microneedling is versatile and can be applied to different areas of the body, such as:
Treats fine wrinkles, acne scars and improves skin texture.
Smoothes lines and improves firmness.
Treatment of stretch marks and scars.
Stimulates hair growth in cases of hair loss.
Although microneedling can cause some discomfort, we can use topical anaesthesia to make the procedure more comfortable.
The recovery time is short, but it is normal for redness, a feeling of warmth and slight swelling to appear in the first 24 to 48 hours. The use of sunscreen and specific care is mandatory in the following days.
The procedure lasts around 60 minutes, depending on the area treated. Normally, 4 to 6 sessions are recommended, depending on the patient’s goal and skin condition. However, the ideal number of sessions will be determined by the professional based on your needs.
The treatment is not indicated for pregnant women, nursing mothers, people with infected skin or specific health conditions such as autoimmune diseases or scarring problems. Although microneedling can be carried out all year round, it is important to protect the skin from sun exposure, especially in the months when the sun is at its hottest.
The results begin to be visible after a few weeks and are progressive as the skin regenerates. Results depend on the individual.
Yes, it can be combined with chemical peels, biostimulators or other procedures, depending on the patient’s needs and objectives.
