Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin treatment that uses multiple very fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates the skin’s natural repair response and promotes the production and remodelling of collagen and elastin.

Microneedling may be used to improve skin texture, selected types of acne scarring, enlarged pores, fine lines and overall skin quality. Treatment is usually performed as a course of sessions, with the depth and frequency tailored to the individual’s skin, concerns and treatment goals.

Microneedling is not suitable for every patient or every type of acne scar. At Greystones Dermatology, an assessment before treatment will help determine whether microneedling is appropriate for your skin or whether another treatment approach may be more suitable.
