What is microneedling and how does it work?

Microneedling works by using your skin's own healing power. A dermatologist makes thousands of tiny, controlled pricks in the skin with very fine needles. Your skin responds by producing fresh collagen and elastin, the proteins that keep it smooth, firm and even.

The result is skin that looks clearer and feels firmer, with softer scars, smaller-looking pores and fewer fine lines. That is why it is also called collagen induction therapy. It is done with a pen-style device such as a Dermapen, and it suits all skin tones when performed by a trained dermatologist.

What are the benefits of microneedling?

The main benefit of microneedling is smoother, firmer skin with less downtime than lasers or chemical peels. It can help with:

• Acne scars and pitted scars
• Large or open pores
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Uneven skin texture and dull skin
• Dark spots and uneven skin tone
• Stretch marks and surgical scars
• Hair thinning, when done on the scalp with PRP

Microneedling for acne scars

Microneedling for acne scars is the most common reason people book it. It softens pitted and rolling scars by rebuilding collagen underneath them. Deep scars usually need more sessions, or RF or PRP microneedling, than mild marks.

Types of microneedling

There are five main types of microneedling. Your dermatologist chooses one based on your skin concern and budget.

Microneedling pen (Dermapen)

A handheld pen device with adjustable needle depth. This is the standard clinic treatment for texture, pores and mild scars.

Microneedling with PRP

Platelet-rich plasma from your own blood is applied during the session to support healing. It is often used for acne scars and hair loss.

RF microneedling

The needles also release radiofrequency heat, which tightens the skin more. It is used for deeper scars and loose skin.

Exosome microneedling

A growth-factor serum is applied after needling to support repair. It is the most expensive option.

Scalp microneedling

Microneedling done on the scalp, usually with PRP, to support hair growth in thinning areas.

At-home derma rollers do not go as deep as clinic treatment. They can also cause infection or scarring if they are not sterile.

Who should not get microneedling?

Microneedling is not suitable for everyone. Your dermatologist will delay or avoid it if you have:

• Active, painful or pus-filled acne, or a skin infection in the area
• A history of keloid scars
• Recent sunburn or a fresh tan
• A weak immune system, or cancer treatment such as chemotherapy or radiation
• A blood disorder, or you take blood thinners
• Uncontrolled diabetes, which slows healing

If you have taken isotretinoin for acne, wait at least one month after the last dose, or longer if your dermatologist advises. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should ask their doctor first.

What happens in a microneedling session?

A microneedling session takes 30 to 60 minutes, plus about 30 to 45 minutes for the numbing cream to work.

1. Consultation: the dermatologist checks your skin, medical history and medicines, and picks the right type.
2. Preparation: you may need to stop retinoid creams and avoid the sun for 2 to 4 weeks before.
3. Numbing: the skin is cleaned and numbing cream is applied.
4. Needling: a pen device makes tiny punctures across the area. Needle depth is set for your concern, deeper for scars.
5. Serum or PRP: a soothing serum, PRP or exosomes may be applied, depending on the type.
6. Aftercare: you get instructions on cleansing, sunscreen and what to avoid for the next few days.

Most people go back to work the next day.

How many sessions do you need, and how long do results last?

Most people need 3 to 6 microneedling sessions, spaced 2 to 6 weeks apart. Mild concerns may improve in 3 to 4 sessions; deep acne scars and wrinkles usually need 5 to 6. You may see brighter skin within a few weeks, but full results take several months as new collagen builds. Results last for a long time but fade slowly with age. Daily sunscreen, not smoking and one maintenance session a year help keep them.

Microneedling side effects

Microneedling is generally safe when a qualified dermatologist does it with sterile equipment. Common micro needling side effects are mild and settle within a few days:

• Redness, like a mild sunburn, for 1 to 5 days
• Mild swelling and tightness
• Dryness, flaking or peeling
• Small spots of bleeding or bruising, mainly with deeper needling

Rare side effects include infection, dark patches (more common in darker skin), and scarring, mostly when the treatment is done by untrained providers or with at-home rollers.

See your dermatologist straight away if bleeding lasts more than 24 hours, you develop blisters, or swelling lasts more than a week.
