Clinical Indications and 2026 Treatment Protocols
Microneedling has expanded beyond facial rejuvenation into specialized medical applications.
Dermatological Repair: Proven efficacy for "atrophic" acne scars (boxcar and rolling scars), surgical scars, and striae (stretch marks).
Hair Restoration: Used as an adjunct to Minoxidil or Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for androgenetic alopecia. The micro-channels allow for deeper penetration of growth factors into the hair follicle.
Transdermal Drug Delivery: In 2026, microneedling is frequently used as a "delivery vehicle" for targeted serums, including tranexamic acid for melasma or exosomes for rapid cellular repair.
