08 Oct Remove Acne Scars with Microneedling
Who knew that tiny facial injuries were the secret to banishing acne scars and a whole slew of other skin concerns? Well, we did—and that’s why RefinedMD has been offering microneedling as a top treatment for years. Microneedling creates micro-injuries in the skin with a medical-grade tool featuring a lot of tiny needles, and encourages the body to create more collagen to “heal” the injured area. It’s an aesthetic treatment that’s effective for many conditions, but researchers are especially excited about how it treats acne scars.
The Science of Microneedling
Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) researchers have recently been focusing on how microneedling rejuvenates acne-scarred skin while minimizing inflammation. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, acne is the most common skin issue and 50 million Americans struggle with it each year.
Boston researchers considered all scientific studies related to microneedling for acne scars published in the past ten years. An astounding 33 studies in the past decade showed that microneedling when paired with other treatments led to the greatest patient satisfaction. In every single study, microneedling improved the appearance of acne scars and when the treatment is viewed under a microscope, there is a clear decrease in inflammation markers.
