Micro Needling for Acne Scars

Break down rigid scar tissue, trigger dermal wound healing, and restore smooth skin using sterile, medical-grade microneedling protocols.

THE SCIENCE

Controlled Micro-Injury & Collagen Remodeling

Acne scars (such as boxcar, rolling, or icepick scars) occur when severe inflammation damages the skin's deep support structure. The body heals by creating rigid, fibrous bands of collagen that pull the skin surface downward, creating pits and uneven texture.

At Intimaa Wellness, we utilize advanced medical-grade microneedling. An automated pen containing sterile micro-needles penetrates the skin at precise depths. This action breaks up the rigid scar tissue and creates thousands of controlled micro-channels. The skin reacts by initiating a natural wound-healing cascade, releasing growth factors and producing fresh collagen and elastin. This raises the depressed scar tissue, refines skin texture, and shrinks enlarged pores.

INDICATIONS

Is Microneedling For Your Skin?

Dermal textures that respond beautifully to collagen stimulation

Depressed Acne Scars

Struggling with rolling, boxcar, or icepick acne scars that create uneven shadowed valleys across your cheeks and temples.

Enlarged Dermal Pores

Visible, stretched pores around the nose, cheeks, and forehead that make the skin look uneven under makeup.

Stretch Marks & Fine Wrinkles

Fine crinkly skin lines or body stretch marks that need deep-tissue structural remodeling to smooth out.

Uneven Dermal Roughness

Leathery, sun-damaged, or rough skin texture that requires cellular exfoliation and dermis renewal.

PROCEDURE JOURNEY

Your Healing Journey

What to expect during and after your session

01

Cleanse & Numb

The target area is cleansed. We apply a strong, medical-grade topical numbing cream for 45 minutes to ensure you feel minimal discomfort during the procedure.

02

The Micro-Needling

A sterile cartridge is attached to the automated microneedling pen. We glide it across the skin, injecting active hyaluronic acid or PRP to boost healing. The session takes 20 minutes.

03

Dermal Recovery

Your face will look sunburned and feel warm for 24 hours. Wash with plain cool water only. Avoid makeup, physical exercise, and direct sun for 48 hours, and wear broad-spectrum SPF 50+ daily.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

With the topical numbing cream applied beforehand, the procedure is highly tolerable. Most patients feel only a vibrating, scratchy sensation or light pressure around bony areas like the forehead and jawline.
Collagen remodeling is a gradual biological process. While your skin will look fresher within a week, structural improvements in depressed scars and pore size become visible after 2 to 3 sessions, continuing to improve for up to 6 months.
No. Needle penetration on active, inflamed acne pustules can spread acne bacteria across the face, causing new breakouts. We will first help you clear active acne using clinical facials or peels before starting scar treatment.
