Before & After Pictures

Acne is a skin condition caused by hair follicles that become clogged by oil and dead skin cells. Other factors that contribute to acne breakouts include excess oil production, bacteria, hormones, and stress. Depending on the severity and how it is treated, acne can cause scarring on the skin.

Micro-Needling for Acne Scars
Treatment with the Eclipse MicroPen® (automated micro-needling) can help diminish the appearance of acne scars. Automated micro-needling is an innovation in aesthetics for the treatment of the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, and the skin’s texture, tone, and color. The goal is to achieve renewed, healthier-looking skin. A series of treatments is usually required for optimal results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are acne scars?

Acne scars are the result of inflammation of acne blemishes. The acne pore swells and a
breakdown occurs in the wall of the pore. Some acne blemishes are small and the scars created
are shallow and heal quickly. Sometimes the contents of blemishes spill into the surrounding
tissue and cause deeper scars.

What is Micro-Needling?

Micro-needling is a new innovation in aesthetic medicine for the treatment of the appearance
of fine lines, acne scars, and the improvement of the skin’s texture, tone, and color. During this
procedure, the Eclipse Micropen is used to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin in order
to aid in the production of collagen and elastin.

Does Micro-Needling hurt?

There is some discomfort associated with Micro-Needling, but your provider will use a topical
anesthetic to help minimize the discomfort.

Is Micro-Needling safe for acne scars?

Yes. Micro-Needling is a safe, effective procedure to treat fine lines, acne scars, and skin
texture.
