| description | Acne vulgaris, the most prevalent skin disorder among teenagers and young adults, is often perceived as a moderate skin condition; however, it imposes a substantial economic and psychological burden on individuals and society. Microneedling emerges as a valuable therapeutic option for acne vulgaris. The procedure involves using fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production and enhancing the skin’s natural healing processes. This minimally invasive technique effectively reduces acne lesions, improves skin texture, and increases collagen production with minimal adverse effects and downtime. This narrative review evaluates the efficacy and safety of microneedling procedures in treating acne vulgaris. A comprehensive research strategy was employed across various databases (PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library) to identify relevant studies. Inclusion criteria encompassed studies investigating microneedling procedures for acne, including controlled trials and case studies. Outcomes such as reduced acne lesions, improved skin texture, adverse effects, and patient satisfaction were analyzed. While further well-designed studies are warranted to elucidate optimal treatment protocols and long-term outcomes, current evidence supports the integration of microneedling into managing acne-prone skin. Moreover, the long-term consequences of microneedling in acne management remain an area for future research. |
