How Does Microneedling Work for Acne Scars?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Microneedling uses tiny sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin.<\/span>
\n<\/span> This triggers your body\u2019s natural wound-healing response, stimulating:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Collagen<\/b> <\/li>\n
  • Elastin<\/b> <\/li>\n
  • New healthy skin cells<\/b> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    This process helps reduce the appearance of:<\/span>
    \n<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Atrophic scars (mild rolling, boxcar scars)<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Pigmentation caused by acne<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      However, deep ice-pick scars may require additional treatments like:<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Subcision<\/span> <\/li>\n
      • Chemical peels<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Fractional laser<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
