MICRONEEDLING FOR SCARS
What Is Microneedling
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses ultra-fine sterile needles to create controlled microchannels within the skin. These tiny channels activate your body's natural wound healing response, stimulating collagen production and skin remodelling.
For scar management, this process helps break down abnormal scar tissue while encouraging the formation of healthier, more organised collagen. Over time, depressed scars become shallower, surgical scars soften, and skin texture becomes more refined.
At Halo Clinic, microneedling can also be combined with advanced regenerative treatments such as premium exosomes or Salmon DNA to further enhance skin healing and recovery where appropriate.

WHY Patients Choose Microneedling For Scars
Stimulates Natural Collagen Production
Rather than simply covering scars, microneedling encourages your skin to rebuild healthier collagen naturally, leading to progressive improvement with every treatment.
Suitable For Many Types Of Scars
Microneedling is effective for acne scars, surgical scars, and traumatic scars, making it a versatile treatment for improving skin texture and reducing scar visibility.
Minimal Downtime
Most patients experience only mild redness for one to two days before returning to normal activities, making it an ideal treatment for busy lifestyles.
Long-Term Skin Improvement
In addition to improving scars, microneedling enhances overall skin quality, resulting in smoother texture, healthier skin, and improved firmness over time.
Why Choose Halo Clinic For Scar
Different scars require different treatment depths, techniques, and combinations of therapies to achieve the best possible improvement.
Dr Delong Zeng brings together extensive experience from both Plastic Surgery and Dermatology. Having trained in Plastic Surgery and General Surgery while continuing to work alongside one of Singapore's leading dermatologists, he has developed a comprehensive understanding of how different scars form, heal, and respond to treatment.
Every scar is carefully assessed before treatment, allowing a personalised plan that may include microneedling alone or in combination with regenerative therapies such as premium exosomes, Salmon DNA, or other complementary treatments when appropriate.
What To Expect
Consultation
Your scars are carefully assessed to determine their type, depth, and severity before recommending a personalised treatment plan.
Treatment
A topical numbing cream is applied before microneedling to maximise comfort. Depending on your skin condition, regenerative treatments such as premium exosomes or Salmon DNA may also be incorporated to enhance healing.
Recovery
Most patients experience mild redness similar to a sunburn for 24–48 hours. Collagen remodelling continues over the following weeks, with gradual improvement seen after each treatment. Multiple sessions are usually recommended for optimal scar improvement.
