Acne Scar Treatment (Dermapen Microneedling)

Treatment Overview

Dermapen microneedling is a form of collagen induction therapy where tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating healing and collagen production. This improves the appearance of acne scars, large pores, and uneven texture.

how it works

The Dermapen device creates precise microchannels in the skin. These trigger the body’s natural healing cascade, leading to collagen remodeling and scar softening. Microchannels also enhance the penetration of skin boosters or PRP applied during treatment.

Who Can Benefit

Dermapen creates thousands of fine channels in the skin, which trigger natural healing and new collagen, so mild scars soften and texture becomes smoother. The channels also help serums, skin boosters or PRF absorb more deeply.

  • Mild to moderate rolling and boxcar scars
  • Uneven texture after acne
  • Acne scars together with enlarged pores
  • Patients who want a gentle option with little downtime

Deeper scars respond better to Matrix RF microneedling, subcision or TCA CROSS, and we often combine treatments.

We postpone treatment during pregnancy, with active acne or an infection in the area.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many sessions will I need?

Usually 3 to 6, spaced 4 weeks apart.

Dermapen or Matrix RF microneedling?

Dermapen uses needles alone and suits mild scars and texture. Matrix RF microneedling adds radiofrequency heat, which reaches deeper and suits more noticeable scars.

Can it be combined with PRF or skin boosters?

Yes. Applying them during treatment boosts the result.

Is there downtime?

Redness for 1 to 2 days. You can usually wear makeup after 24 hours.

Dermapen microneedling also treats open pores.
