Your skin is the body’s largest organ and its first line of defense against external damage. Over time, UV exposure, pollution, stress, and hormonal decline reduce collagen and elastin production — the key proteins responsible for firmness and elasticity. As a result, the skin becomes thinner, loses its bounce, and shows visible signs of aging such as wrinkles, sagging, and pigmentation.

At Dr. Akbari’s Dermatology and Aesthetic Clinic in Farmanieh, Tehran, we offer cutting-edge microneedling and mesoneedling treatments — scientifically backed methods to restore collagen production and rejuvenate your skin naturally, without surgery or downtime.

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a non-invasive procedure that uses ultra-fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These tiny punctures activate the body’s healing response, stimulating neocollagenesis — the formation of new collagen and elastin fibers that keep your skin firm, smooth, and youthful.

How Microneedling Works

During treatment, microscopic needles penetrate the dermal layer, triggering fibroblast activity and boosting collagen types I and III, as well as elastin fibers. This process results in thicker, tighter, and smoother skin.
Additionally, microneedling enhances serum absorption — maximizing the effects of active ingredients like hyaluronic acid and vitamin C.

Microneedling Benefits and Applications

• Improves skin texture and smoothness
• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
• Minimizes acne scars and stretch marks
• Diminishes dark spots and pigmentation
• Shrinks enlarged pores
• Boosts collagen production naturally
• Increases serum absorption for deeper nourishment

Key Advantages:

• Safe, non-invasive, and suitable for all skin types
• Promotes even skin tone and firmness
• Scientifically proven to rejuvenate the skin

Recommended Serums Used in Microneedling

At Dr. Akbari’s Clinic, expert dermatologists customize serums based on each patient’s needs:

• Hyaluronic Acid: Deep hydration, plumping effect, and improved suppleness
• Vitamin C: Brightening, antioxidant protection, and fading dark spots
• Peptides & Growth Factors: Accelerate cell repair and collagen regeneration

Temporary Side Effects (Mild and Short-Term)

You may experience:

• Mild redness or swelling (24 hours)
• Temporary dryness or flaking
• Slight warmth or tingling for a few hours

These are normal healing responses and typically resolve within 1–3 days.

Ideal Candidates for Microneedling

✅ Fine lines, mild wrinkles, or uneven texture
✅ Mild pigmentation or acne scarring
✅ Dull, tired-looking skin needing rejuvenation
🚫 Not suitable for active acne, severe sensitivity, pregnancy, or blood-thinner use (unless advised by a doctor)

Mesoneedling: The Next Level of Skin Revitalization

Mesoneedling combines the benefits of microneedling with mesotherapy — delivering nourishing, vitamin-rich serums directly into the dermis through microinjections. This method hydrates, revitalizes, and firms the skin from within, offering both collagen stimulation and deep nourishment in one treatment.

Microneedling vs. Mesoneedling — Which One Is Right for You?

Practical Recommendation

• Younger clients (fine lines or mild scarring): choose Microneedling – safe, effective, and affordable.
• Mature skin (sagging, dryness, or pigmentation): Mesoneedling – deeply nourishing with lifting and brightening effects.
• Combination approach: alternating both treatments can yield optimal, long-lasting rejuvenation.
