What is Skin Needling?

Skin needling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), is a minimally invasive treatment that uses fine, medical-grade needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny punctures stimulate your skin’s natural healing process, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin—two essential components that help skin stay firm, smooth, and youthful.

For those struggling with acne scars, skin needling works to break down the scar tissue and encourage the skin to regenerate, resulting in a smoother and more even texture. It is a natural and highly effective method for rejuvenating scarred skin.

 

How Skin Needling Helps Treat Acne Scars

 

1. Stimulates Collagen Production

Acne scars occur when the skin’s healing process is disrupted, leaving behind imperfections or indentations. Collagen production is essential for healthy, smooth skin, and skin needling stimulates this production. As your body responds to the micro-channels created by the treatment, the skin begins to regenerate, gradually reducing the appearance of scars and improving skin texture.

​

2. Improves Skin Texture & Tone

By creating small punctures in the skin, skin needling helps break down old scar tissue and promotes the formation of new, healthy skin. This can significantly improve the texture of your skin and help even out the skin tone, resulting in a smoother, more balanced complexion.

​

3. Reduces Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation often accompanies acne scars, especially post-inflammatory pigmentation (dark spots) that can linger long after the acne has cleared up. Skin needling promotes cell turnover and enhances the absorption of skin products, which can help fade these spots over time and restore a clearer, brighter complexion.

​

4. Minimises Pore Size

Acne can also enlarge the pores over time, making them more noticeable. One of the lesser-known benefits of skin needling is its ability to refine pores, giving your skin a smoother and more even appearance. As collagen production is stimulated, the skin becomes firmer, which helps reduce the size of pores and gives the skin a more youthful, plump look.​

​

5. Enhances Product Absorption
The tiny micro-channels created during skin needling allow your skincare products to penetrate deeper into the skin, improving their effectiveness. This is especially beneficial for products targeting acne scars, as the ingredients can work more efficiently at deeper layers of the skin, boosting overall results.

 

6. Safe for All Skin Types
Skin needling is a versatile treatment suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, skin needling can be customised to suit your skin's needs. Whether you have darker skin or more delicate, fair skin, skin needling can be safely performed to target acne scars without risk of hyperpigmentation or other side effects.

7- Minimal Downtime
Unlike more invasive procedures, skin needling has minimal downtime. After the treatment, you may experience some redness or mild swelling, similar to a mild sunburn, but this typically subsides within a few hours to a day. This makes it a convenient option for people with busy schedules who want to improve their skin without taking significant time off from their normal activities.

​

8- Long-Term Results
While you may notice improvements after just one treatment, the full benefits of skin needling for acne scars can be seen over time. Typically, a series of treatments is recommended to achieve the best results. As collagen production continues to increase, your skin becomes firmer, smoother, and clearer. Over the course of multiple sessions, the appearance of scars continues to diminish, leaving you with long-lasting improvements.
