MICRONEEDLING is a safe, minimally invasive procedure which can reduce the appearance acne scars, improve skin texture and reduce fine lines and wrinkles to some extent which will require multiple sessions.
It can be used for various indications like acne scar, acne, post-traumatic/burn scar, alopecia, skin rejuvenation, drug delivery, hyperhidrosis, stretch marks, hair regrowth, etc.
It creates micro-channels using microneedles which produces a controlled skin injury without actually damaging the outermost layer of skin. These microinjuries in turn lead to minimal superficial bleeding and set up a wound healing cascade with release of various growth factors. These growth factors help in repair process, and lead to reorganization of old collagen fibres and laying down of new collagen, elastin and capillaries.
It can be combined with other treatment modalities like chemical peeling, platelet rich plasma, subcision and lasers.
