Understanding Mirajet
Mirajet is a needle-free delivery system that uses laser energy to generate a fine, high-speed microjet, gently introducing skin-rejuvenating actives into the dermal layer. Depth and dosage are precisely controlled, allowing actives such as hyaluronic acid and regenerative boosters to be placed evenly where they are most effective. It is particularly well-suited to patients who prefer to avoid needles, or to those with sensitive skin who want a more comfortable experience.
How We Approach Mirajet Treatment
Treatment is always guided by a thorough consultation and skin assessment. Depending on your skin quality and goals, Dr Lim will select the most appropriate actives and design a course of Mirajet sessions, used on its own or alongside other treatments.
Dr Lim assesses your skin’s hydration, texture, pore size, and any scarring or uneven tone. This informs the choice of active ingredient, the delivery depth, and the areas to be treated.
The skin is cleansed and prepared. Because Mirajet is needle-free, most patients find the treatment comfortable, though a topical numbing cream can be applied if preferred.
The chosen active is delivered across the treatment area in rapid, precise micro-pulses, ensuring even distribution throughout the dermis. Most patients describe a light tapping sensation, and a full-face treatment typically takes around 20 to 30 minutes.
Mild redness or slight swelling may be visible for a few hours, occasionally up to a day. Dr Lim will advise on gentle skincare and sun protection in the days that follow.
For best results, a course of three to five sessions is typically recommended, spaced around four weeks apart. Progress is reviewed throughout and maintenance sessions planned to sustain results.
Many patients notice an immediate improvement in hydration and radiance, with deeper benefits to texture and firmness developing over the following weeks as collagen is stimulated. At Arra, results are designed to look like healthier, better-quality skin, never treated skin.
Onset: Immediate surface improvement; deeper benefits develop over four to six weeks
Duration: Six to nine months per course; maintenance sessions recommended
Course: Typically three to five sessions, around four weeks apart
Onset: Gradual refinement of texture and pore size across the course
Best for: Uneven texture, enlarged pores, and mild atrophic scarring, alongside a broader skin plan
All timelines are indicative. Dr Lim will provide a personalised outlook during your consultation based on your skin, anatomy, and goals.
FAQ’s
How does Mirajet work without needles?
Mirajet converts laser energy into pressure, propelling a fine stream of active ingredients through the skin at high speed. This allows treatments to reach the dermis precisely, without the needle punctures associated with traditional injections.
Does Mirajet hurt?
Most patients find it far more comfortable than needle-based treatments. The sensation is usually described as a light tapping or flicking. A numbing cream can be applied for added comfort if you wish.
What can Mirajet treat?
Mirajet is most commonly used to improve hydration, radiance, fine lines, skin texture, and pore size. It can also be used as part of a plan for mild acne scarring or uneven tone. Dr Lim will advise on whether it is right for your concerns.
How does Mirajet compare to injectable skin boosters?
Both deliver rejuvenating actives into the skin. Mirajet offers a needle-free alternative with even distribution across the treatment area, which many patients find more comfortable. Dr Lim will recommend the most suitable approach based on your skin and preferences.
Is there any downtime?
Downtime is minimal. Some redness or slight swelling may be visible for a few hours after treatment, and most patients return to normal activities the same day. Dr Lim will advise on any specific aftercare at your appointment.
