The skin is our canvas. As a board certified dermatologist, it is my mission to help
all my patients achieve healthy, beautiful skin. Through education, teaching, and
research this is possible. This textbook is a continuation of this mission, inspired
by the drive to create the best possible outcomes for my patients, and the love of
being a physician and educator.
Over the last several years, minimally invasive procedures have significantlyincreased in the worlds of dermatology, plastic surgery, and aesthetic medicine.
This textbook is a global consortium of the leaders in these fields and experts on
microneedling.
Microneedling is an outstanding option for patients of all skin types and ethnicitieswho desire measurable clinical results from treatments with little to no
downtime. It is a relatively new option in dermatology and has been utilized for a
broad range of applications, including skin rejuvenation, acne scarring, rhytides,
surgical scars, dyschromia, melasma, enlarged pores, and transdermal drug
delivery.
Microneedling is a safe, minimally invasive, and effective aesthetic treatment forseveral different dermatologic conditions. Given its expedient post‐treatment
recovery, minimal side effect profile, and significant clinical results, microneedling
is a valuable alternative to more invasive procedures. The chapters of this
book discuss the various applications in detail.
