The short answer

What is microneedling, and is it right for you?

Microneedling (collagen induction therapy) uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries that stimulate collagen and elastin. The channels also let serums, boosters or exosomes penetrate better.

At YAAN Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, classic microneedling suits texture and shallow scars; for deeper scars the doctor may suggest RF microneedling (Potenza, from ₩400,000).

Honest suitability

Who Microneedling suits, and who it doesn't

Often a good fit

  • Rough texture and dullness
  • Shallow acne scars
  • Enlarged pores
  • Fine lines
  • Boosting absorption of skin boosters

Probably not the first choice

  • Deep scars, where Potenza or CO2 help more
  • Active acne or infection
  • Keloid tendency
  • Blood-thinning medication (ask your doctor)
  • Very short trips
How it works
