Microneedling for Acne scar treatment

Microneedling is amazing for acne scar treatments. Have you ever wondered what it looks to like to receive an acne scar treatment with microneedling? Microneedling, also referred to as Collagen Induction Therapy is a safe and effective treatment option for people with scars from acne or other wounds.  Acne scars can develop after three weeks of continued formation of inflamed acne lesions.

Different types of acne scaring can be difficult to treat especially with darker skin types. We perform acne treatments to get acne under control, but once you do, we can all experience different types of scarring. Microneedling can help reduce the scars that change the texture of skin and make it appear bumpy or it can assist with the reduction of dark marks and red marks left behind once the skin heals.

Surgical scars, chickenpox scars and wound scars can also be unsightly. What is scarless wound healing? We consider Microneedling a form of scarless wound healing. Scarless wound healing means that when we trigger inflammation by puncturing the skin with tiny needles (comfortably with numbing cream), we also use specific products to reduce the negative aspects of wound healing. We use your body’s positive remodeling aspects of wound healing to help smooth out scars and marks left behind from your previous scars or wounds.

Just remember, microneedling does take time to work, it’s not a magic wand, and there is remodeling that occurs with each treatment. Even a moderate improvement in acne scars is worth it! The best part about Microneedling is that the skin only stays red for a day or two! You can go back to your life shortly after your service and there is no limit to how many you can have! Skin improvements with these treatments occur over time and only get better and better! Don’t take just my word for it, Read this clinical Study!
