Microneedling is the treatment clients ask for when creams and facials "aren't enough anymore" — for acne scars, enlarged pores, fine lines and skin texture. This guide explains what microneedling actually does, what it costs in Sarajevo and what to realistically expect.
What Is Microneedling
Microneedling is a treatment in which sterile micro-needles create controlled micro-channels in the skin. The skin responds the only way it knows how — by triggering renewal and producing new collagen and elastin. That's why microneedling is also called collagen induction therapy.
What microneedling targets:
- acne scars and uneven skin texture,
- enlarged pores,
- fine lines and first signs of aging,
- uneven tone and pigmentation spots,
- overall firmness and skin "glow".
The micro-channels also multiply the absorption of active serums — which is why we always combine microneedling with skincare matched to your skin type.
Microneedling Price in Sarajevo
At Damen Salon on Koševsko brdo, microneedling is always done together with a deep-cleansing facial — clean skin before the needles is a requirement for a safe treatment:
| Treatment | Price | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Deep-cleansing facial + microneedling | 65 KM | 30–45 min |
| Facial + microdermabrasion + microneedling | 75 KM | 30–60 min |
| PDRN microneedling (+ facial) | 85 KM | 30–45 min |
PDRN is a regenerative serum (polynucleotides) that further accelerates skin renewal — the strongest option for scars and mature skin. Current prices are always in the price list, and you can book online.
What the Treatment Looks Like, Step by Step
- Skin analysis and cleansing — the facial opens the pores and removes impurities.
- Microneedling — the device passes over facial zones; needle depth is adjusted per zone and concern.
- Serum and soothing care — actives go directly into the micro-channels.
- Protection — SPF is mandatory for the following days.
Does it hurt? You'll feel light prickling and warmth, mostly on the forehead and nose — most clients describe it as uncomfortable rather than painful. Redness similar to mild sunburn fades within 24–48 hours.
How Many Sessions You Need
- The first "glow" effect shows 5–7 days after the first session.
- For acne scars and texture, the standard is a series of 3–6 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart.
- Results build over months — collagen keeps forming up to 3 months after the series.
Microneedling is not done over active inflamed acne — in that case we first recommend an acne treatment.
Microneedling or Microdermabrasion — Which to Choose
- Surface texture, "tired" skin, quick effect with no downtime → Hydro Glow / microdermabrasion.
- Scars, pores, wrinkles, long-term collagen renewal → microneedling.
- The strongest effect comes from the combination (75 KM) — microdermabrasion removes the surface layer, the needles work in depth.

Aftercare
First 24 hours without makeup, 48 hours without tanning beds, saunas and intense workouts, and SPF 30+ for 2 weeks. Light peeling for 2–3 days is a normal part of renewal.
