The Significance of Microneedling for Scars and Other Skin Health Issues

by Ranny Watson Blogger



In order to maintain the charm of the face, people invest substantially in cosmetic products and skin treatments every year. Both invisible and non-invasive techniques are currently popular in the market for handling skin issues. Even for a single problem like acne or wrinkles, numerous therapies, topical products and surgeries are available in the market. Some of them are known for promising results whereas others are just a gift age of money. Also, you should not ignore the risk factors involved during the treatment procedures. Scars, loose skin and wrinkles are among the most common dermal issues on which people are investing substantially. The depletion of collagen protein from our skin is the reason for most of these problems. Among currently available effective techniques, renowned dermatologists recommend microneedling for scars and wrinkles treatment. Let's understand this technique in detail. 

What is microneedling? 

Microneedling is an invasive process to prick your skin. With the help of a sophisticated device, skin treatment experts make small wounds on the surface of the skin. The main purpose of making these wounds is to produce an adequate amount of collagen protein. As we puncture the skin surface, the immune system automatically produces an adequate amount of collagen to fill these gaps. Currently, dermatologists are using microneedling for different types of scars including:-

  1. Surgical scars

  2. Acne scars

  3. Burn scars

The theory behind stimulating the production of collagen is to fill the gaps in skin where scars exist. Microneedling for scars is an effective technique for all types of skin complexions. As we know that it is an invasive process, minor side effects like redness, inflammation and bruising are obvious. dermatologists recommend avoiding direct sun exposure and intense exercises after the first week of microneedling. Also, avoid using alcohol-based skin products and exfoliants on the treated skin for a few days. 

Some other benefits of microneedling

Along with microneedling for scars, dermatologists also recommend this technique for various other skin issues like filling the large skin pores and fading wrinkles. Let's understand in detail how it works. 


The main objective of microneedling is to stimulate the production of collagen protein in a particular area of skin. With increasing age, collagen production in our skin decreases. This protein is crucial to maintain the firmness and contour of the skin. As the collagen decreases, wrinkles and fine lines start appearing. In order to remove these signs of aging, we need an adequate amount of collagen. Here comes the role of microneedling. An increased amount of collagen significantly reduces wrinkles on our face. Similarly, collagen is also capable of filling large pores of the skin. 

Alternatives to microneedling

Although microneedling for scars and wrinkles is an effective technique, its results are limited. In order to stimulate the skin rejuvenation process, we also recommend health supplements rich in collagen protein. Laser treatment is another fast way to stimulate the production of collagen in the dermis layer of our skin. 


It is advisable to book a consultation session with an expert dermatologist before choosing the right technique. They will examine the tolerance of your skin before deciding its treatment.
