Microneedling is a safe and effective way to rejuvenate your skin. Here are the most commonly asked questions about Genosys Microneedling at Haku.
Is Microneedling Safe?
Yes, it is a safe and minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that has been used for many years to help improve the appearance of the skin.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
The number of sessions you will need depends on your individual skin concerns and goals. We typically recommend a series of 3–6 sessions for optimal results.
Is There Any Downtime?
You may experience some redness and mild swelling after your treatment, but this is normal and should subside within a few days. You may also experience some dryness and flaking as your skin heals.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
This treatment is most commonly used on the face, but it can also be used on other areas of the body, such as the neck, chest, and hands.
What is Collagen Induction Therapy?
Microneedling works on the principle of controlled micro-injury. The device creates thousands of microscopic channels in the skin's surface, your body reads these as small injuries and responds by producing fresh collagen and elastin, the structural proteins responsible for skin firmness and bounce. Over the following weeks, the skin rebuilds itself more densely and evenly. The result is smoother texture, softer fine lines, and visibly refined scarring.
Why Genosys Microneedling?
At Haku, we use the Genosys microneedling system, a professional Korean dermatology brand used in clinical settings across Asia and Europe. Genosys uses precise needle-depth control, sterile single-use cartridges, and a peptide and growth-factor aftercare protocol designed to work specifically with the device. This is meaningfully different from high-street dermaroller treatments and produces more controlled, consistent results.
Who is Microneedling Suitable For?
Microneedling is well suited to acne scarring, enlarged pores, fine lines and early ageing, dull or uneven skin texture, and general skin rejuvenation. It is not suitable during active acne or infection in the treatment area, during pregnancy or breastfeeding, if you are on isotretinoin (Roaccutane), or if you have a history of keloid scarring.
Can Microneedling Be Combined with PDRN?
Yes. For deeper scarring, mature skin, or compromised skin barriers, microneedling can be paired with Genosys Bio-Meso PDRN, a clinical-grade regenerative serum delivered into the micro-channels for accelerated healing and amplified results. This combination is particularly effective for clients who want faster barrier recovery alongside the collagen-building benefits of microneedling.
How Much Does Microneedling Cost at Haku?
A single microneedling session at Haku is €200 for the face or €220 for face and neck. Available at both Ranelagh and Blackrock.
