How Does Microneedling Reduce Acne Scars?

Microneedling is often praised for its anti-aging benefits. However, like many treatments that are offered here at Serenity Aesthetics & Wellness microneedling is a very versatile treatment. Microneedling triggers collagen stimulation to enhance cell turnover. While this is great for aging skin, it also can benefit those who suffer from acne scarring. Keep reading to learn how Microneedling can reduce the appearance of acne scars.

How Does Microneedling Work?

Collagen Induction Therapy or Microneedling is the method of using tiny needles to penetrate the skin and cause micro injuries. As these tiny cuts on the skin heal they stimulate collagen and elastin to firm and smooth the skin. This increased collagen improves thickness of the skin allowing for pitted acne scars to appear smoother. The production of collagen also promotes cell turnover which allows the skin to present a more healthy layer free of damage from acne scars including hyperpigmentation. In addition to collagen stimulation, Microneedling helps to enhance product penetration making your at home skincare routine more effective in between treatments.

Microneedling Contraindications

This treatment is not an ideal treatment for clients who suffer from keloids, sensitive skin, eczema, active acne or infections, or autoimmune disorders. Microneedling is also not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding clients.
