The microneedling technique was initially introduced for skin rejuvenation in cosmetology. The technique is minimally invasive and therefore explored for the treatment of multiple dermatological conditions. High effectiveness, very less side effects and quick recovery time are the benefits of skin microneedling as a cosmetic, and medical treatment. Over the last two decades, the applications of microneedling in skin science have grown drastically. The technique is effective in the treatment of acne scar, vitiligo, alopecia, melasma, and skin cancer. The current review focuses on the cosmetic as well as therapeutic applications of microneedling for the treatment of various skin problems.

Abstract


The microneedling technique was initially introduced for skin rejuvenation in cosmetology. The technique is minimally invasive and therefore explored for the treatment of multiple dermatological conditions. High effectiveness, very less side effects and quick recovery time are the benefits of skin microneedling as a cosmetic, and medical treatment. Over the last two decades, the applications of microneedling in skin science have grown drastically. The technique is effective in the treatment of acne scar, vitiligo, alopecia, melasma, and skin cancer. The current review focuses on the cosmetic as well as therapeutic applications of microneedling for the treatment of various skin problems.
