Does microneedling help brighten the skin?

Microneedling will improve texture and tone and needs to be used in combination with other treatments. I suggest seeing a cosmetic dermatologist to get you on a long term plan with microneedling/prp, Viva, Cosmelan, J Plasma, peels, sculptra, facials and skin care. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question! Microneedling is a great treatment for evening out skin tone and texture. After the healing process your skin will have a more youthful glow. I recommend using PRF to enhance the results of a microneedling treatment. If you are looking to brighten or lighten the appearance of deep hyperpigmentation I recommend a laser treatment such as PicoSure, BBL, or Halo. It is important to consult with an experienced aesthetic specialist in order to create a unique plan for your desired outcome.
Best of luck,

Microneedling (also known as collagen induction therapy) induces collagen production and actually strengthens the epidermis. When passed over the skin, the needles create micro injuries in the skin to trigger new collagen synthesis. Each micro injury creates a channel that triggers the body to produce new collagen and elastin to fill the microscopic wound. When combined with consistent use of corrective antioxidant serums, this procedure aids in brightening your skin that results in a youthful glow. Hope this helps! Best wishes!
