Microneedling for Different Skin Types: Customizing Your Treatment

Scott Sanders Dermatology is home to Dr. Scott Sanders and Dr. Shilesh Iyer, a dream team of dermatologists who can help with many skin issues. For example, we can provide microneedling in New City, NY, for healthy and firm skin. 

But does this therapy work equally well for all types of skin? Let’s find out.

This Process Works Well For All Skin Types 

 One thing that makes this a powerful treatment is its effectiveness across almost every skin type. This effectiveness centers on how this process is handled. Put simply, it’s not a light-based treatment, nor does it require chemicals or techniques that might irritate some skin types. As a result, it’s usually adaptable to just about every type of skin available, including:

• Type I, the whitest skin that is generally very sensitive to most types of light treatment 
• Type II, a slightly darker white that can slightly burn when exposed to light or chemicals
• Type III, an olive tone that usually does pretty well with most types of therapies 
• Type IV, brown skin that doesn’t burn with light therapies or chemical treatments 
• Type V, dark brown skin that may struggle with some light and chemical therapies
• Type VI, the blackest skin, which often doesn’t react to many light therapy options

Choosing a Process 

 While this therapy works well for most skin types, there are several options for microneedling therapies in New City, NY, from which you can choose. It’s critical to pick them wisely based not only on your skin tone but your problems as well. Just a few popular options include:

• Traditional dermarolling that helps build collagen works well for fine lines and wrinkles
• Automated pens that can help with acne across most types of light skin 
• Fractional processes that provide PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy for the skin 

 We can help you better understand your options and how your skin tone might impact your therapy. Thankfully, complications are rare, so you can rest easy knowing that this healing process is adaptable to almost every skin problem.
