Most people are not aware that Microneedling has been used for a long time in Aesthetic Medicine.
Infact, as far back as the 1900s when it was first used by German Dermatologist Dr. Enrst Kromayer who used motor powered dental burs of all things to treat hyperpigmentation, birthmarks and scars.
Microneedling made a resurgence in 1995 in the U.S. when Dr. Desmond Fernandes made public his findings on treating pigmentation problems, scars and stretch marks with his small needle stamp.
Microneedling is especially good for ethnic groups and people with darker skin tones because it does not have adverse reactions such post inflammatory hyperpigmentation which can occur with Laser resurfacing, IPL and even radiofrequency devices.
