Understand acne scars
Acne scars are often the aftermath of severe acne, leaving indentations and uneven skin texture. These scars vary from deep pits, known as ice pick scars, to rolling or boxcar scars. Factors like acne severity, delayed treatment, and genetics can influence the type and extent of scarring.
our specialized acne scar microneedling
DP4 Microneedling Technology: The Dermapen DP4 represents the latest advancement in microneedling technology, offering precise and controlled skin puncturing. This stimulates the skin’s natural healing process, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin, essential components for skin repair and rejuvenation. Tailored Treatment Protocols: Each session is customized based on the type and severity of your acne scars. The DP4 device allows adjustable needle depths to target specific layers of the skin, ensuring optimal results for all scar types, including deep ice pick scars. Enhanced with Professional Serums: During treatment, we can also apply professional-grade serums tailored to your skin's needs. These serums penetrate deeply thanks to the micro-channels created by microneedling, enhancing the healing and rejuvenating effects.

How does microneedling improve acne scars? Microneedling works by inducing a controlled injury to the skin, prompting it to heal and produce collagen. This process gradually fills in the scarred areas, smoothing the skin’s appearance.
Is microneedling painful? Discomfort is minimal. We apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
How many treatments are needed to see results? The number of treatments varies depending on the scar severity and your skin’s response to the treatment. Typically, a series of 3-6 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, is recommended for the best results.
What is the downtime with DP4 microneedling? Downtime is minimal. You may experience mild redness and swelling for a few days post-treatment, but these symptoms subside quickly.
Can DP4 microneedling be used on all skin types? Yes, DP4 microneedling is safe for all skin types. However, we perform a detailed skin assessment to ensure it is the right treatment for your specific skin concerns.
Are there any side effects to be aware of? Side effects are typically minor and include temporary redness, swelling, and potential pinpoint bleeding. We discuss all potential side effects during your consultation to ensure you are fully informed.
How can I maintain results after treatment? We recommend a skincare routine that includes sun protection, gentle cleansing, and hydration to maintain and enhance your results.
Additional Information and Pre-Post Care Instructions
Before Treatment:
-
Avoid Sun Exposure: Refrain from excessive sun exposure and tanning beds for at least one week before your appointment. Sunburned or tanned skin can increase the risk of complications and discomfort during the procedure.
-
Discontinue Certain Products: Stop using retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), and other exfoliating skincare products for a few days before your treatment. These products can increase skin sensitivity and irritation.
-
Stay Hydrated: Ensure that your skin is well-hydrated leading up to your appointment. Drink plenty of water and moisturize your skin regularly to maintain optimal hydration levels.
After Treatment:
-
Apply Soothing Products: Use gentle, non-irritating skincare products recommended by your skincare professional to soothe and hydrate your skin post-treatment. Avoid products containing harsh ingredients or fragrances that may exacerbate sensitivity.
-
Protect Your Skin: Shield your skin from direct sun exposure by wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Sunscreen helps prevent sunburn and minimizes the risk of hyperpigmentation, especially during the initial healing phase.
-
Avoid Harsh Treatments: Refrain from using abrasive scrubs, exfoliants, or harsh skincare treatments for at least one week. These products can disrupt the skin’s healing process and increase the risk of irritation.
-
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water and moisturize your skin regularly to maintain hydration and support the healing process. Hydrated skin promotes faster recovery and enhances the results.
-
Follow Post-Treatment Instructions: Adhere to any specific post-treatment instructions provided by your skincare professional. This may include avoiding certain activities, skincare products, or medications that could interfere with the healing process.
-
Be Patient: Results may take time to become noticeable as the skin undergoes the natural healing and regeneration process. Be patient and consistent with your skincare routine to achieve optimal results over time.
