Abstract
BACKGROUND: Medical skin needling as a nonablative procedure appears to be a good alternative to conventional surgical treatment options for the treatment of acne scars and striae. OBJECTIVE: The effect of medical skin needling particularly with regard to the treatment of acne scars and striae as an alternative to ablative therapy options is explained. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A summary of recent publications on medical skin needling in terms of skin regeneration in vivo and improving skin quality of patients in vivo in striae is provided. RESULTS: Medical needling shows a positive effect on the healing process of the skin, proven in clinical studies providing positive results in the treatment of striae and acne scars. Thus, PCI is a good alternative to conventional surgical procedures. CONCLUSIONS: The therapeutic strategies are numerous, and even if no single modality results in complete remission of scars, medical skin needling is a safe, easy-to-perform treatment option with very promising results.
