How to treat acne with microneedling

Having pimples on the face is very annoying. Don’t underestimate these pimples. Some are easier to solve, but some are quite stubborn. If they appear in large numbers, the impact on your appearance can be imagined. There are many ways to remove acne, and microneedle is a very common beauty acne removal method. When using it, people are more concerned about the acne removal effect. So, how about microneedle acne removal? Let’s take a look below.

There are two types of acne scars: red acne scars and black acne scars. Some people also call the pits formed by squeezing after acne acne scars. Microneedle treatment is only effective for acne scars with slight pits, while black and red acne scars are not very suitable for removal using microneedle treatment.

Microneedling is not effective for red acne marks

First of all, red acne marks are the result of acne inflammation and vascular dilation. It is a temporary erythema that will gradually subside. If you want to remove red acne marks as quickly as possible, you should use pulsed light to constrict small blood vessels, use fruit acid skin care products for daily care, and add allantoin and clindamycin medications to kill bacteria and reduce inflammation to achieve a faster removal effect. Microneedle therapy works by stimulating the regeneration of skin collagen and cannot eliminate the inflammation and bacteria that cause red acne scars. Therefore, it is not suitable to use microneedle therapy to treat red acne scars.

Microneedles cannot eliminate black acne scars. Another type of acne scars is black acne scars, which are caused by pigmentation after acne inflammation and dull skin. If left untreated, black acne scars will gradually disappear over time. If you want to remove black acne marks as soon as possible, using skin care products containing tranexamic acid + vitamin C and its derivatives + fruit acid to accelerate skin metabolism is the most effective way to eliminate black acne marks.

Microneedling is most effective for mild pit-shaped acne scars

Microneedle therapy can remove mild pit-type acne scars. In regular acne treatment, microneedles are often used to treat wavy pit-type acne scars. Wavy, concave acne scars are a type of acne scar that is relatively easy to repair. Microneedles can be used to stimulate the regeneration of skin collagen to restore the acne scar face to its previous appearance. However, for acne scars that are shaped like train carriages and deeper ice cone-shaped acne pits, the effect of microneedle beauty treatment is relatively small. It is recommended that those who have the other two types of acne scars use fractional laser or other cosmetic methods to remove the acne scars.

How microneedles remove pit-type acne scars

The working principle of microneedle removal of pit-type acne scars is, to put it simply, to insert a golden needle into the dermis of the skin. The energy released by the needle tip stimulates the reorganization and regeneration of collagen in the damaged area. The cells of skin metabolism are rapidly renewed, and the pits are naturally replaced by new collagen, thus achieving an effect of shrinking to the point of disappearing. Therefore, microneedles can remove pit-type acne scars, and even pores will become smaller after using microneedles.

Microneedle treatment for acne scars in a regular medical institution will usually tighten the pores within a week. Concave acne scars will gradually fade after two microneedle treatments. At the same time, the effects of skin tightening, skin quality improvement, and wrinkle reduction will gradually occur. The best effect of microneedle treatment for concave acne scars will occur in 1-3 months.

Do not use microneedles to remove acne scars on your own

There are many microneedle products on Taobao, but these informal products are not suitable for beauty lovers to use on their own to treat pit-type acne scars. Because there are no professional disinfection measures, self-use of microneedle therapy can easily lead to skin sensitivity and inflammation. In addition, manual microneedles are not easy to control the depth and strength, so they cannot achieve a good effect in removing pit-type acne.
