Dubai Microneedling

Advanced Microneedling for Acne, Melasma & More Now Available in Dubai

Dubai’s reputation as a global center for advanced aesthetic treatments continues to flourish with the upcoming guest residency of internationally acclaimed dermatologist Dr. Gary Goldenberg at the prestigious Hobbs Clinic. From April 21-25, 2025, Dr. Goldenberg will bring his cutting-edge microneedling techniques from his Manhattan practice to Dubai, offering patients access to the same sophisticated treatments that have made him one of New York City’s most sought-after aesthetic physicians.

Board-certified and trained at Johns Hopkins University, Dr. Goldenberg has established himself as a pioneer in advanced microneedling protocols that maximize results while ensuring safety across all skin types, tones and colors. His innovative approaches, including specialized microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), have earned him international recognition and a client base that includes celebrities, professional athletes, and business leaders.

For the diverse population of Dubai and its many international visitors, this limited engagement offers a rare opportunity to experience treatments personally performed by Dr. Goldenberg without traveling to his exclusive Manhattan practice. His sophisticated approach to aesthetic dermatology – characterized by customized treatment combinations and protocols optimized for various skin types – proves particularly valuable in Dubai where intense sun exposure and increased melanin content create unique skin care challenges.

Dr. Goldenberg’s skill in microneedling and PRP treatments includes an understanding of how these procedures can be optimized for various skin conditions and types, particularly in patients with higher melanin content who traditionally faced greater risks with certain aesthetic treatments. This expertise proves especially valuable for Dubai’s diverse population with varying skin characteristics and concerns.

Microneedling For Diverse Skin Types & Tones

Dr. Goldenberg offers microneedling protocols specifically optimized for diverse skin types. Traditional aesthetic treatments often presented challenges for patients with darker skin tones, including many Middle Eastern, South Asian, and African populations. Dr. Goldenberg’s specialized approach overcomes these limitations through modified treatment parameters, advanced techniques, and comprehensive pre- and post-treatment protocols that substantially reduce risks in patients with darker skin – while maximizing results.

Dr. Goldenberg customizes microneedling protocols for patients with higher melanin content by including customized needle depths based on specific skin characteristics, precise control of treatment intensity, specialized post-treatment care, and sometimes staged approaches that gradually increase treatment intensity across multiple sessions. This approach significantly reduces the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation – a primary concern when treating darker skin tones – while still achieving remarkable improvement in various skin conditions.

Dr. Goldenberg’s Manhattan practice serves patients from around the world, providing him with unparalleled experience in adapting microneedling and PRP protocols for different skin colors, characteristics and concerns. During his residency at Hobbs Clinic, patients will benefit from this international expertise and his ability to develop truly customized treatment plans that address their specific needs while respecting their unique skin characteristics and cultural preferences.

Microneedling Plus PRP for Exceptional Results

The combination of microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) represents one of the most significant advancements in regenerative aesthetics, offering benefits that exceed what either treatment can achieve independently. This advanced technique, sometimes called the “Vampire Facial,” harnesses the body’s own healing mechanisms to stimulate profound skin regeneration.

Microneedling with PRP begins with drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood, similar to a routine blood test. This blood is then processed in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma – a concentrated solution containing growth factors that play crucial roles in tissue repair and regeneration. Following the microneedling procedure, which creates thousands of microscopic channels in the skin, the PRP is applied topically or injected into specific areas, allowing these growth factors to penetrate deeply where they stimulate the body’s own healing and rejuvenation processes.

The microchannels created during microneedling serve as direct pathways for the PRP to penetrate to deeper skin layers where they can most effectively stimulate cellular activity. The growth factors in PRP activate fibroblasts, enhance blood vessel formation, and accelerate tissue repair while reducing inflammation – which amplifies the natural collagen induction triggered by the microneedling itself. This combination approach often produces more significant improvement in texture, tone, and overall skin quality than either treatment alone.

Conditions Microneedling Treats

Microneedling’s versatility makes it an exceptionally valuable treatment option for addressing multiple skin concerns simultaneously, often producing comprehensive improvement in overall skin health alongside targeted benefits for specific conditions. The microneedling procedure works through controlled micro-injury that triggers the skin’s natural healing, stimulating collagen and elastin production.

Microneedling offers numerous advantages including minimal to no downtime, suitability for all skin types when properly performed, and the ability to address multiple concerns in a single treatment approach. Microneedling’s adaptability allows Dr. Goldenberg to create highly personalized skin care treatments that deliver significant results for even challenging skin conditions.

When combined with PRP, microneedling’s effectiveness increases substantially for most conditions, as the growth factors and bioactive proteins in platelet-rich plasma enhance and accelerate the skin’s regenerative processes. This combination approach proves particularly valuable for more significant concerns including deep acne scarring, advanced photodamage, and textural irregularities that might respond more slowly to microneedling alone.

During his exclusive residency at Hobbs Clinic in Dubai, Dr. Goldenberg will determine the optimal microneedling approach for each patient’s specific concerns, skin type, melanin content (color), and aesthetic goals. His extensive experience treating diverse skin types and and conditions ensures that each treatment plan reflects the latest advancements in the field while being safe and effective for each individual’s needs and characteristics.

Microneedling For Acne

Microneedling offers remarkable benefits for active acne through several mechanisms that address both existing breakouts and the factors that contribute to their formation. The procedure’s controlled microchannels help regulate sebum (oil) production by decreasing oil gland activity while simultaneously reducing bacteria through temporary disruption of the skin surface. Additionally, the “micro-injuries” caused by the needles stimulate the body’s healing mechanisms – which can accelerate the healing of active lesions while also repairing the overall skin condition.

Microneedling Acne Scarring

For acne scarring, microneedling works through a process of controlled collagen induction that addresses the depressed areas characteristic of atrophic scars. Microneedling breaks up fibrotic scar tissue while stimulating the production of new, properly-aligned collagen fibers that gradually fill in the depressed areas of the scars. This collagen remodeling continues for months following treatment, with each session further improving scar depth and texture. And, when enhanced with PRP, the regenerative process accelerates significantly, often requiring fewer sessions to achieve substantial improvement even in long-standing acne scars.

Microneedling For Melasma

Melasma presents unique treatment challenges, particularly in darker skin types common in Middle Eastern populations, like those in Dubai. Microneedling addresses melasma through several mechanisms: creating controlled exfoliation that helps remove pigmented surface cells, disrupting melanin clusters within the skin, and enhancing the penetration of brightening agents applied during or after the procedure. Importantly, Dr. Goldenberg’s specialized protocol for melasma uses customized parameters for darker skin tones that effectively address pigmentation while minimizing the risk of triggering post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Microneedling For Pigmentation

For various forms of hyperpigmentation including sun spots, age spots, dark spots, freckles, post-inflammatory discoloration, and uneven tone, microneedling works through both direct and indirect effects on melanin production and distribution. The micro-injuries disrupt existing pigment clusters while the subsequent healing process promotes cellular turnover. This helps eliminate pigmented cells and replaces them with fresh, unblemished skin. Additionally, the procedure enhances the penetration of PRP and/or brightening ingredients that can regulate melanin production at the cellular level. Dr. Goldenberg’s specialized approach for Dubai’s sun-exposed population includes comprehensive post-treatment protection strategies to prevent pigment recurrence in the UAE’s high-UV environment.

Microneedling For Lines And Wrinkles

Microneedling is also highly effective at minimizing fine lines and wrinkles – especially when combined with PRP. Referred to by some celebrities as a “Vampire Facial,” microneedling plus PRP stimulates the body’s natural collagen and elastin production. These structural proteins diminish with age and sun exposure, causing the structure or “scaffolding” of the skin to become lax, sagging and wrinkled. But microneedling’s controlled micro-injuries trigger the production of growth factors that stimulate fibroblast activity, resulting in increased synthesis of these critical proteins.

As new collagen forms and matures over several months following treatment, it gradually fills in fine lines while improving skin firmness and elasticity. The addition of PRP substantially enhances these effects through growth factors that further stimulate fibroblast activity and accelerate the regenerative process, making PRP microneedling particularly valuable for addressing more established wrinkles and lines in mature skin.
