In this blog, Dr. Swati Agarwal, MD, Consultant Dermatologist, Dermatosurgeon And Specialist in Aesthetic dermatology, at Skination Clinic, will be discussing using micro-needling for acne scar treatment in Faridabad.


What is Microneedling?  


Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin treatment. In this procedure, sterilised needles are used to correct the skin deformities. It targets the dermal layer and penetrates the skin follicles to produce more collagen. The new release of collagen and elastin fills the protein deficiency in the skin, which leads to the irreversibility of acne scars.

Indeed micro needling is a non-surgical acne scar treatment everyone prefers. But before performing this procedure, a skin specialist carefully examines the candidate's skin type and prescribes micro-needling to:


  • A person with large size pores

  • One experiencing fine lines and wrinkles on the skin

  • The person has uneven skin tone and stretch marks

  • Microneedling is best suitable for mild acne scars.


Since acne can target one whole body, hence micro-needling can be performed on any body part, including legs, back, neck etc.
