Not every skin concern can be corrected with topical skincare alone. When the goal goes beyond simple hydration or a fresher look to gradually restructuring the skin's texture, microneedling is an option to consider.
The procedure is used to address:
atrophic post-acne marks;
uneven skin texture;
visible pores;
fine lines;
loss of elasticity;
dullness;
uneven skin tone;
signs of skin aging.
Microneedling is particularly interesting because the results don't end when the procedure does. After the session, the skin continues to recover, and remodeling processes unfold gradually.
The most well-researched aesthetic application of microneedling remains the treatment of atrophic post-acne scars. There is also clinical data supporting its use for rejuvenation, specifically regarding wrinkles, texture, and other skin quality parameters.
Microneedling does not work by providing an instant cosmetic effect.
Sterile micro-needles create controlled micro-injuries. For the skin, this is a signal to trigger its natural healing response and recovery processes.
Following this, the extracellular matrix gradually remodels and new collagen is formed. This is why improvements in texture, density, and elasticity continue to develop not just on the day of the procedure, but over the following weeks.
A sterile cartridge creates controlled micro-channels.
The skin triggers a natural response to micro-injuries.
Processes related to collagen formation and the extracellular matrix are activated.
Skin texture, density, and appearance are transformed.
Exosomes are extracellular vesicles involved in cell-to-cell signaling. In cosmetology, the use of topical products based on exosomes or other extracellular vesicles following microneedling is currently being researched.
Initial clinical studies of the combination of microneedling with exosome products describe improvements in hydration, texture, elasticity, pigmentation, and other indicators.

The specialist assesses the skin condition, active inflammation, sensitivity, barrier function, texture, post-acne marks, and other changes.
The skin is cleansed and prepared for the procedure according to the protocol.
A sterile, single-use cartridge is used for the procedure.
The specialist systematically treats the target areas, adjusting the intensity and depth according to the specific goals.
Following the procedure, appropriate professional care is applied, and recommendations for at-home recovery are provided.
active inflammatory elements and infections in the treatment area;
active herpes;
open wounds and skin lesions;
active dermatitis, eczema, or severe rosacea flare-ups;
impaired wound healing;
predisposition to pathological scarring/keloids;
immunodeficiency conditions or immunosuppressive therapy;
blood clotting disorders or the use of anticoagulants;
pregnancy;
other conditions for which the doctor recommends postponing the procedure.
The intensity and depth of the punctures will vary to address different skin concerns.
Therefore, before the procedure, a Symmetrica specialist evaluates:
the issue being addressed;
skin thickness and condition;
protective barrier;
active inflammation;
sensitivity;
tendency toward pigmentation;
previous procedures;
expected result.
After that, the microneedling parameters and, if necessary, the active complex are determined.
It is best to postpone intense workouts for 48 hours. We recommend avoiding saunas, steam rooms, hot baths, and swimming pools for at least 72 hours, or up to 5–7 days following deep microneedling, until the skin has fully recovered. This helps prevent irritation, overheating, and infection.
Sensations depend on the area and depth of the treatment. You may feel tingling, warmth, or mild discomfort. To minimize discomfort, we apply a topical anesthetic cream for 10–20 minutes, making the procedure generally comfortable. Superficial microneedling can sometimes be performed without anesthesia.
The reaction depends on the depth and intensity of the treatment. With deeper procedures, pinpoint bleeding may occur.
On average, the procedure takes 45–60 minutes, including skin cleansing, anesthesia, and the microneedling session itself. The skin treatment stage takes approximately 10–25 minutes.
After microneedling, you may experience redness, warmth, sensitivity, tightness, and dryness. The intensity and duration depend on the depth of the treatment and your skin's individual reaction.
We recommend waiting at least 24 hours before applying makeup, or 48 hours if you experience significant redness or sensitivity. It is important to use clean brushes or sponges and avoid applying cosmetics until your skin has calmed down and is completely healed.
Initial changes in appearance may be noticeable once the skin has healed, but the full results of microneedling develop gradually. When addressing skin texture, post-acne marks, and signs of aging, it is best to evaluate progress over the following weeks.
It depends on your goals, skin condition, and the intensity of the treatment.
Yes, primarily for atrophic post-acne scars, rather than active acne. The effectiveness of microneedling for atrophic acne scars is supported by systematic reviews of clinical studies.
If there is an active inflammatory process, the procedure is usually postponed for the affected areas. The skin condition must be stabilized first, and only then can we address post-acne marks.
These procedures serve different purposes. Needle-free mesotherapy is primarily focused on delivering active ingredients without mechanical damage. Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries to trigger skin remodeling processes. The choice depends on whether you need to focus on hydration and maintenance or on skin texture, post-acne marks, and structural changes.
