We know you've heard about microneedling. Not only do we, NewBeauty writers and editors, love it, but so do countless celebrities. If you're new to the treatment, microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to help stimulate collagen and elastin production—the proteins that help keep skin firm, smooth and resilient.
The treatment has only gotten more popular heading into 2026, as more stars speak openly about the regenerative add-ons—like PRP, exosomes and salmon DNA—that go along with it. And most recently, Hilary Duff put the treatment back in the spotlight, revealing she's "obsessed" with microneedling as part of her go-to skin-care routine.
That's the very basic version, of course. There's plenty more to know, from the potential skin-tightening benefits of pairing microneedling with radio frequency to its future role in enhancing targeted skin-care ingredient and drug delivery. One pairing in particular has earned a cult following: microneedling with PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, better known as the "vampire facial."
Whether they're pairing it with PRP, exosomes or the now-viral salmon sperm facial, these celebrities all have one thing in common: they're hooked on the tiny-needle treatment. Ahead, we've rounded up the celebrities who have spoken about microneedling before and why they love the results.
