Materials and Methods: Fifty patients with facial acne scar, traumatic scar, hypertrophic scars and scars with skin discoloration reporting to our institute were included in the study.

Results: Seven out of the total 50 patients (14%) showed an excellent response to dermaroller treatment, while 26 patients (52%) had a good response. Fourteen patients (28%) had fair response, and 3 patients (6%) had poor response.
Conclusion: Microneedling therapy with dermaroller is one of the simplest, yet most effective skin treatments for scars, stretch marks, deep wrinkles, etc. The dermaroller is a definitive credit crunch skin rescue option. It is simple yet effective and suitable for all skin types and skin tones.
