MN utilizes solid microneedles and is commonly combined with radiofrequency (RF) to add thermal energy, while MCT involves hollow microneedles capable of removing excess tissue without inducing scar formation. Aims: The purpose of this review was to summarize recent literature for MN and MCT, with...
