Why Do We Need Microneedling?
Human skin, especially facial skin, plays a very important role in beauty and self-confidence. Over time, issues and lesions may develop on the skin. There is a protein in the skin called collagen, which is also known as skin scaffold and is involved in maintaining the firmness and freshness of the skin. Collagen production drops with age (especially after the age of 30). This in turns results in reduced freshness of the skin, wrinkles and sagging skin.
The basis of many skin rejuvenation methods is the stimulation of collagen production. Microneedling follows the same concept
Skin Rejuvenation Techniques
There are different methods for rejuvenating the skin and removing its lesions, all of which are performed by experienced professionals of Medpaltrip. Some of these include the following:
Injection of fillers or gels under the skin is used to fill in facial wrinkles and add volume to tissues such as lips and cheeks.
Laser therapy can remove medium to deep lines and wrinkles and cause firmness, increase moisture and improve skin tone.
In this method, the dermatologist injects the fat extracted from other parts of your body (such as the abdomen, thighs and buttocks) into the desired area of the face.
HIFU is a method that takes advantage of ultrasound for skin rejuvenation. This radiation can stimulate collagen production.
Carboxytherapy
Injecting various amounts of carbon dioxide gas stimulates the skin blood supply and helps skin repair.
Microneedling

At-Home Microneedling
Microneedling can be done at home using a variety of tools. At-home microneedling equipment do not pierce the skin and so have less therapeutic effect. They are also more difficult to clean and the chances of wounds and infections increase. Dermatologists often do not recommend at-home microneedling.
Who Is It For?
- Microneedling can be done from the age of 20 onwards. The best age to perform microneedling is between 20 and 30 years old. Microneedling at this age will slow down the aging process in your skin. The skin at this age has great ability to make collagen following its stimulation by the needle.
- Microneedling at older ages is also followed by amazing and significant results. It stops the aging process and formation of facial wrinkles, stimulates collagen production, improves lesions and wrinkles of the face, and thus rejuvenates the skin.
In general, most people can have microneedling to rejuvenate or repair their skin. However a number of things can prevent microneedling such as:
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding;
- Active skin infection or herpes; Microneedling in a person with herpes may cause the lesion to spread to other parts of the skin. At least a few weeks should have passed since the herpes disappeared before microneedling is performed;
- Specific treatments for acne (use of roaccutane in the last six months);
- Open wound;
- Radiotherapy in the last 12 months;
- Skin numbness;
Microneedling can be used on deep acne lesions, but is not recommended for active acne with pustules as it can spread the infection to other parts of the skin.

How Microneedling Is Done in Iran
As previously stated, the main purpose of microneedling is to stimulate the skin in order to produce collagen. Microneedling can be painful so doctors often apply a local anesthetic cream about an hour before the procedure. After full anasthasation, based on the purpose of the treatment, the dermatologist will use a serum to wash the skin. This moisturizes the skin and makes it so the microneedling device moves more freely on the surface of your skin.
There are various devices for microneedling. These include:
Dermaroller
This is the primary microneedling device for the scalp. There are many similar automatic devices that have numerous sterile and interchangeable needles. Dermarollers still have their own applications; for example, they are used in At-home microneedling.
Dermapen
There are different types of Dermapen. Dermapen is a newer method ins comparison with Dermaroller and has a wider array of applications. For example, you can use dermapens in narrower areas (such as above the lips and around the nose) as it is a much smaller device.
Depending on the skin type and the location of the target area, the procedure will need needles with different sizes. Most devices have an adjustable needle that can control the depth of the holes. For example, the skin of the chin is thicker than the forehead and requires needles as long as 0.5 to 2.5 mm. Red and bleeding skin indicates the therapeutic effect of microneedling.
Complete treatment may require 3 to 9 sessions, each lasting about 30 to 60 minutes depending on age, skin type, and skin lesion; For example, severe sunburn requires more sessions. The interval between sessions may be between 2 and 6 weeks.
Aftercare
Microneedling has a very short recovery period, however it is good to follow the aftercare to get the best results.
- You may experience redness and burning after microneedling, which is normal as your skin is sore.
- If you feel comfortable, you can do all your daily chores or get to work.
- Some people use light makeup to cover their redness. Avoid applying makeup for 24 to 48 hours after microneedling.
- Your skin becomes very sensitive to the sun for about two weeks after microneedling, and it is necessary to use sunscreen to prevent possible side effects.
- Keep your skin moist.
- Avoid any heavy exercises that cause sweating for up to 72 hours, as it can cause bacteria to enter the pores of the skin and lead to infection.
After microneedling, your skin recovers quickly and you can see the results in less than a few weeks. To get a better result, you may need to do several microneedling sessions. Our experts in Medpaltrip will accompany you to achieve the desired result.
Possible Side Effects
Many people do not experience complications after microneedling. But sometimes it is accompanied by a few temporary side effects which will disappear on their own. The most common complication of microneedling is inflammation of the skin. The redness may persist for several days. Other symptoms include dryness and flaking during the first few days.
