I would like to have microneedling treatment for mild acne scarring , however I'm concerned if the needling could possibly cause sebaceous hyperplasia? Most information I have read suggests microneedling is a safe procedure & could not cause sebaceous hyperplasia ?

Answer: Microneedling for acne scarring Microneedling does not cause sebaceous hyperplasia as it works by simply creating small, temporary channels in the skin that stimulate the production of new collagen, and enhances penetration of topically applied serums at the time of treatment. Medical micro-needling has been proven to be an excellent treatment for acne scarring. However, the treatment is much more effective when combined with application of human growth-factor serum. In my office we use the ProCell Therapies system which combines motorized micro-needling with concentrated growth factor serums made from human bone marrow stem cells and are seeing excellent results in the treatment of acne scars. Because these are the stem cells that are much more involved in wound healing than any other stem cells inthe body, they are the ideal source for the growth-factors which are the messengers that very effectively stimulate formation of new collagen in the skin.
