Acne scarring after four microneedling sessions
8 weeks after the fourth session · 4 sessions · age 28
Rolling acne scars across both cheeks from teenage acne. Four microneedling sessions four weeks apart with a numbing protocol, plus a retinoid and daily sunscreen between sessions.
Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, uses a medical device with very fine needles to create thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin. The skin responds by producing fresh collagen and elastin, improving texture and firmness over time.
It is safe for most skin tones and is one of the most effective non-laser treatments for acne scarring and enlarged pores. It can be enhanced with PRP, growth factor serums or radiofrequency energy.
How the treatment works
After a numbing cream is applied, your provider glides the device across the skin at a depth chosen for your concerns. The treatment itself takes about 30 minutes.
What Microneedling can help with
Acne scars
Enlarged pores
Fine lines and wrinkles
Uneven texture
Stretch marks
Mild pigmentation
Before and after your appointment
Skip retinoids and exfoliants for a few days before treatment.
Skin will look pink and feel warm for 24 to 72 hours.
Use gentle cleanser, moisturizer and strict sun protection while skin heals.
Avoid makeup for 24 hours so the micro-channels can close.
