History of Microneedling
Microneedling, also known as dermarolling, has roots in ancient times but was formalized as a skin treatment in the late 1990s. Initially used for skin rejuvenation, the technique was refined to enhance transdermal drug delivery. Over the years, its use expanded significantly as practitioners discovered its benefits for various skin conditions, including scars, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.
The Science Behind Microneedling
The science of microneedling revolves around the body's natural wound healing processes. When the skin is punctured by the microneedles, it triggers a cascade of healing responses that include the release of growth factors and the production of collagen and elastin. This not only heals the micro-wounds created by the needles but also leads to an overall improvement in skin strength, resilience, and appearance.
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling therapy is a minimally invasive treatment performed using a device with tiny needles (dermaroller or dermapen) that gently puncture the skin.
This technique treats skin conditions such as scars and aging by stimulating collagen production.
Benefits of Microneedling
Microneedling therapy is primarily used for skin rejuvenation and restoring elasticity. It can address various skin conditions, including:
- Scars (e.g., from acne)
- Freckles
- Wrinkles
- Stretch marks
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven skin tone
- Reduced skin elasticity
Microneedling can be applied anywhere on the body, such as legs with stretch marks or chest and back with acne scars, but it is most commonly performed on the face.

The Microneedling Procedure
Before the treatment, a topical anesthetic is applied to minimize discomfort. Our dermatologist then uses a dermaroller or dermapen to create tiny injuries on the skin’s surface, which are not visible after the treatment.
The therapy itself lasts about 30 minutes, with the entire process, including preparation, taking around two hours. A calming serum is often applied afterward.
Microneedling works by promoting collagen production through these tiny needle-induced injuries. Collagen is an essential protein that contributes to youthful skin appearance, elasticity, and smoothness.
As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to wrinkles. Microneedling helps produce collagen-rich tissue, which improves skin tone and texture.
Microneedling for Acne Scars
Microneedling is highly effective in reducing the appearance of acne scars. The procedure uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulate the body’s natural wound healing processes, including collagen and elastin production. This new collagen helps fill in and smooth out the scars, making them less visible and improving the overall texture of the skin.

How Long Does It Take to Heal?

Most people are able to return to their normal activities within 24 hours without any noticeable signs of the treatment.
How Long Do the Results Last?
The results of microneedling can last anywhere from 3 to 5 months, depending on the individual’s skin condition and lifestyle.
To maintain the skin’s improved appearance, it is recommended to have maintenance sessions every 4 to 6 months.
Over time, the effects can become more durable as the skin generates new collagen and elastin.
