Acne scars and lingering redness can be some of the most stubborn skin concerns, often remaining long after breakouts have healed. At Skinphoria Aesthetics in Monterey, microneedling is a sought-after solution for restoring smoother, more even-toned skin. 

Dr. John Hsih, Medical Director at Skinphoria, brings years of medical experience and deep expertise in aesthetic treatments, overseeing every procedure to ensure the highest level of care. His commitment to clinical excellence allows the team to deliver results that are both safe and transformative. For those seeking proven skin treatments with visible results, microneedling offers a powerful option worth exploring.

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling involves the use of ultra-fine needles to create microscopic punctures in the skin’s surface. These small injuries trigger collagen and elastin production, helping to improve skin texture, tone, and firmness while requiring little to no downtime.

Microneedling is performed by skilled professionals using an advanced, medical-grade device that gently glides across the skin’s surface. It’s a versatile option that works well for many skin types and can be adjusted to focus on specific issues like post-acne redness, scarring, and dullness.

How Microneedling Targets Acne Scars and Redness

Microneedling works beneath the surface of the skin, which makes it highly effective for treating both surface redness and deeper acne scars. By boosting collagen, the skin becomes stronger, smoother, and more even-toned over time.

Benefits of microneedling for acne scars and redness include:

  • Softening the appearance of indented acne scars
  • Reducing red or brown discoloration left after breakouts
  • Evening out overall skin tone and texture
  • Minimizing the appearance of enlarged pores
  • Stimulating cell turnover for fresher-looking skin

Results typically improve with a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart. Most clients begin noticing visible changes after the first or second session, especially in redness reduction and skin smoothness.

Is Microneedling a Good Fit for Your Skin?

This treatment is ideal for individuals looking for non-surgical options to improve the appearance of acne scars, post-inflammatory redness, or general skin texture concerns. Those with active breakouts or certain medical conditions may need to wait until the skin is clear before beginning treatment.

A professional skincare provider will evaluate:

  • The type and severity of scarring
  • Skin sensitivity and concerns about redness
  • Previous treatments or skincare routines

A personalized consultation is the best way to determine if microneedling is the right choice for your needs.
