How does it work?
They create new tissue following an injury, and provide the skin with the structural support and flexibility that characterizes beautiful, healthy, young skin. Clinical research finds that in addition to creating more collagen and elastin, microneedling thickens the epidermis and creates new blood vessels to improve blood supply.
Microneedling Downtime and Aftercare
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that requires very little downtime compared to other cosmetic procedures. Individual experiences may vary but most patients experience mild redness and/or mild swelling following the microneedling treatment. This that looks similar to mild sunburn. These symptoms may last between 2 to 4 days following the treatment, with many patients experiencing a return to normal looking skin in 24 hours.
Microneedling for Acne Scarring
- Atrophic scarring or depressed scars refer to scarring that results when tissue is lost following an inflammatory injury, such as acne. Depressed acne scars like boxcar acne scars or rolling acne scars form when the body does not produce enough collagen to replace the tissue that is lost during the injury.
- Microneedling follows the same principle of other cosmetic treatments that utilize controlled injury to stimulate the body to create more collagen to fill in the depressed areas created by acne scarring. Microneedling is a popular treatment for treating acne scars and other types of scars, such as stretch marks because it carries less risk of side effects, hyperpigmentation, and longer recovery times then other non-invasive acne scar treatments, such as laser skin resurfacing and chemical peels.
- Microneedling stands out as a favored solution for treating acne scars primarily due to its proven effectiveness. It has demonstrated the ability to significantly reduce the severity of scarring for a large number of individuals, with a substantial proportion experiencing excellent or positive responses to the treatment

FAQS
Microneedling is a safe procedure. Despite the initial concern that needles might be alarming, microneedling proves to be less invasive compared to various other cosmetic treatments. The usage of delicate and precise micro-needles in the MD pen ensures that the puncturing reaches an effective depth, providing maximum advantages while minimizing harm to the outer skin layer, known as the epidermis. This approach prevents the activation of melanin production, which is responsible for hyperpigmentation, making microneedling a safe option for all skin types. Additionally, since the procedure doesn’t harm or strip away the top skin layer, the risks of scarring and negative side effects are minimal.
