Microneedling Safety
Suitable Skin Types Microneedling is safe for most skin types, including darker tones prone to 
pigmentation issues with other treatments, making it a versatile option.
Contraindications Avoid microneedling if you have active acne, eczema, open wounds, or skin 
infections to prevent complications and worsening of the condition.
Licensed Professionals Always choose a licensed dermatologist or certified aesthetician to ensure safe 
procedures, proper technique, and minimized risks during treatment.
Common Side Effects Mild side effects like redness, slight swelling, and a sunburn-like sensation 
typically last a day or two post-treatment and are normal signs of healing.
Clinical Evidence and Effectiveness
Clinical studies strongly support the use of microneedling for treating acne 
scars and wrinkles. An abstract published by the National Library of Medicine 
highlights microneedling as one of the most effective and versatile therapies 
available, promoting collagen remodeling and skin regeneration. The 
procedure's ability to stimulate the body’s natural healing process results in 
measurable improvements in scar texture, depth, and pigmentation. This 
scientific validation has made microneedling a widely recommended option in 
dermatology for skin rejuvenation and scar reduction.
