Selected acne scars
Some depressed scars may improve with remodelling. Deep narrow scars and scars held down by bands can need additional approaches.
Explore acne scar careTiny controlled punctures prompt a healing response in the skin. Explore whether microneedling may help your scars or texture concerns.

Medical microneedling uses fine needles to create controlled punctures. As the skin heals, collagen remodelling can make selected scars and fine texture changes less noticeable.
Treatment can use a pen or another suitable device. The treatment area, needle settings and schedule are chosen after assessing the skin; they are not a home-use recipe.

Explore acne scar careVisible pores and fine texture changes may be considered after assessment. Improvement is gradual and depends on the cause and depth of the concern.
Understand open poresSome stretch marks may become less noticeable with treatment. The colour, age and area affect the plan; complete removal cannot be promised.
Understand stretch marksActive inflamed acne, infection, a rash or recent sunburn may mean waiting or choosing different care.
Mention poor healing, raised scars, bleeding problems, immune conditions, allergies and medicines, including current or recent isotretinoin. Discuss pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Darker skin can develop darker or lighter patches after irritation. Your clinician should discuss that risk and the device being used.
Skin may feel tender or look red or darker for a while. Follow-up and gentle care are part of the plan.
Discuss the concern, expected benefit, alternatives, preparation and recovery. Confirm which products to pause with the clinician.
The skin is cleansed and appropriate comfort measures are used. A fresh needle cartridge is used for the session.
The practitioner moves the device over the agreed areas using suitable settings. You may feel pressure or prickling.
Redness and small pinpoint bleeding may occur. Tell the practitioner if discomfort is unexpected or severe.
Use the advised gentle products. Confirm when to restart makeup, exercise, retinoids and exfoliating acids.
Contact the clinic about worsening pain, spreading redness, discharge or unexpected colour changes. Review healing before another session.
Visible change develops over weeks to months. A series of sessions may be discussed, with enough time to heal and review. Early swelling is not the final result.
Temporary redness, tightness, dryness, peeling or tenderness can occur. Less common problems include infection, pigment changes and scarring. Follow the written plan and avoid picking or adding strong products.
Microneedling can reduce the appearance of some concerns; it cannot promise perfectly smooth skin or permanent elimination of every scar.
The interval and number of sessions depend on the concern, device and response. More frequent treatment is not automatically better.
Standard microneedling creates mechanical punctures. MNRF, or radiofrequency microneedling, also delivers energy that heats tissue. They require different devices and treatment decisions.
RF treatment adds risks linked to heat and depth. Burns, unwanted fat loss, scarring and nerve injury have been reported with certain RF uses. Ask about the specific device, the reason for choosing it and alternatives.

No. Standard microneedling creates controlled punctures. MNRF adds radiofrequency energy and heat, so the device, suitability and risks differ.
No. Different scar shapes may need different methods. Deep or tethered scars often need an individual combined plan.
Inflamed, painful or infected spots generally need attention before needling. The clinician will assess the treatment area.
No. Products suitable for ordinary skincare are not automatically suitable during a needle procedure. Discuss any proposed combination and its evidence and risks.
Remodelling is gradual. Improvement can become noticeable over weeks, with fuller change taking months. Response and maintenance needs vary.
Home tools are not equivalent to a clinical procedure. Incorrect use can cause infection, irritation, pigment changes or scars.
A new needle cartridge should be used for each treatment session. Cleaning a used cartridge does not make reuse appropriate.
Follow the instructions for your procedure and skin response. The clinic will explain when to restart products rather than covering irritated or unhealed skin.
