MICRONEEDLING IN ABU DHABI

Microneedling in Abu Dhabi at House of Skincare, Yas Island — a clinically proven collagen induction therapy that uses controlled micro-injuries to stimulate the skin’s natural repair process, improving scars, texture, pores, and skin quality.

Dr. Khadija Al Zaabi, Consultant Dermatologist, oversees all microneedling treatments at the clinic. Depth, needle density, and number of passes are tailored to each patient’s skin concern and Fitzpatrick type — this is not a one-size-fits-all procedure.

HOW MICRONEEDLING WORKS

Ultra-fine sterile needles create thousands of micro-channels in the skin at a precisely controlled depth. The body responds with an immediate wound-healing cascade: fibroblasts migrate to the site, collagen and elastin synthesis accelerates, and the epidermis renews itself. Over 4–6 weeks post-treatment, treated skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more even-toned.
