Microneedling has become a very popular type of treatment for many different skin conditions, such as acne, age spots, sun damage and hyperpigmentation. What makes microneedling so useful for treating skin conditions is that it can induce collagen production without damaging the top layer of the skin.
Below are some of the main things that microneedling can be used to treat-
-
- Early signs of aging –
Microneedling is very effective at treating the early signs of aging, including fine lines and wrinkles. This is because early signs of aging are caused by the loss of collagen and elastin, both of which are increased by microneedling.

- Scarring –
Microneedling has shown to be effective at treating most types of scars, including acne scars and keloid scars. Scars are formed due to the abnormal formation of collagen. By breaking up the old scar tissue and encouraging the production of new collagen and elastin, microneedling helps to fade out scars very effectively.

Rosacea is a skin condition that leaves the face looking red and rashy. It can be caused by a number of things, including sun exposure, diet and temperature changes. Microneedling can help clear up rosacea by increasing the production of collagen in the body.
