Abstract
Microneedling was first described in 1995 by Orentreich and Orentreich for the treatment of atrophic scars and wrinkles.¹ The local injury induced by dermal penetration of microneedling causes release of growth factors such as transforming growth factor (TGF)-α, TGF-β, and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). This stimulates collagen and elastin fiber production as well as capillary formation, ultimately leading to tissue remodeling.².
