Acne scars are something so many of us struggle with. While there are a few treatments available, microneedling is one of the most effective and minimally invasive solutions. If you're curious about how microneedling can help treat acne scars, our team of experts will walk you through everything you need to know about the treatment, its benefits, and what to expect.
WHAT IS MICRONEEDLING?
Microneedling works to remodel the skin by creating temporary microscopic channels in your skin.
This simple procedure activates your body's natural skin-healing power to increase collagen and elastin so your skin returns to a healthier looking and youthful appearance.
BENEFITS
- Reduction in the appearance of scars
- Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
- Improvement in skin texture and tone
- Improvement in skin elasticity
Unlike surface treatments like chemical peels or creams, microneedling works beneath the skin's surface. It targets the deeper layers of skin where collagen is produced, which makes it particularly effective for improving the appearance of indented or pitted acne scars. Over time, the skin begins to repair itself by filling in scars, resulting in smoother, firmer skin.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Microneedling is simple, comfortable, and effective for skin rejuvenation in as little as 30 minutes. You will receive light numbing with topical anesthesia, then we will create millions of controlled microchannels in your skin to elicit your body's natural wound-healing cascade.
This healing process works at the site of treatment to remodel the tissue resulting in new collagen and elastin, giving your skin a younger, firmer, and radiant appearance.
Following your treatment, your skin may appear slightly pink to red, similar to a mild sunburn. For best results we suggest a series of three treatments. Results may appear after just one treatment but will continue to improve three to six months following your last treatment.
There are products to help with your healing and creating optimal results, such as the Alastin Regenerating Skin Nectar.
