Clearing scars, shrinking pores, improving texture, yes, men need it too.
People have long associated micro needling with women’s skincare, often tucking it into a “beauty” category. But micro needling is a clinical-grade, evidence-based treatment that benefits everyone men included. At our clinic, we’re seeing more male patients realize just how effective and transformative this treatment can be for their skin.
What Exactly Does Micro needling Treat?
Micro needling (also known as collagen induction therapy) involves using fine needles to create micro-injuries on the skin. This triggers the body’s natural healing process, leading to increased collagen and elastin production.
Here’s what it can help with:
- Acne Scars: Breaks up scar tissue, softens the appearance of pits and marks.
- Large Pores: Tightens skin, reduces the visibility of pores over time.
- Uneven Texture: Smooths rough areas and helps achieve a more refined skin surface.
- Fine Lines: Especially around the eyes and forehead, microneedling can improve firmness.
- Pigmentation & Sun Damage: Helps even out the skin tone and fade discoloration.
Men’s skin is typically thicker and oilier and microneedling works especially well with that, often producing visible results even faster.
The PRP Advantage: Micro needling Meets Your Own Growth Factors
You can do micro needling as a standalone procedure, but it becomes even more powerful when you combine it with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma).
Here’s how it works:
- We draw a small amount of your blood and spin it in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma.
- We then apply that golden liquid rich in your own growth factors to the skin during or after microneedling.
- The micro-channels created allow the PRP to deeply penetrate, accelerating healing, boosting collagen, and enhancing the overall result.
PRP not only helps speed up recovery, but it also improves the skin’s glow, elasticity, and regeneration perfect for men dealing with scarring, early signs of aging, or tired skin.
Let’s Talk Myths: “Isn’t Micro needling Just for Women?”
Not at all.
Here’s the truth:
- Skin concerns don’t care about gender. Acne scars, rough texture, or large pores affect men just as much.
- We do Micro needling in a clinical settings. It’s not about pampering it’s about results.
- Many of our male patients say they wish they’d started earlier once they see the improvements.
Microneedling is one of the few treatments that is customizable, low-risk, and works for most skin types, including darker and more sensitive skin.
