| Abstract | ||
| Scarring is a cosmetic issue and a potential threat to patients' mental health caused by the buildup of collagen after an outbreak of inflammatory acne. It takes an eternity for acne scars to fade. A more modern approach to treating these scars is microneedling treatment, which is formally called percutaneous collagen induction. Atrophic acne scars may be effectively and simply treated using this procedure, according to the available evidence. A specialized apparatus and needles are used in microneedling, a non-surgical technique for skin treatment, to create microscopic punctures on the skin's surface. By stimulating the body to produce more collagen and elastin, this therapy improves the skin's innate healing capabilities. Microneedling has several beneficial effects on the look of skin that has been impacted by acne. Improving the skin's texture is one of them; it does this by stimulating the body to produce more collagen and elastin. Microneedling improves the absorption and penetration of topical skincare products by creating microscopic channels in the skin. This improved delivery mechanism enables the targeted administration of acne-fighting compounds, such as retinoids, anti-inflammatory medicines, and topical antibiotics, to the affected areas with greater efficacy. This study will examine the research on the effectiveness and safety of microneedling for the treatment of acne scars. | ||
