All About Acne Scars

Acne Scars - What Are They?

Acne scars are usually the result of inflamed blemishes caused by skin pores engorged with excess oil, dead skin cells and bacteria. The pore swells, causing a break in the follicle wall.

When a deep break in the wall of the skin pore occurs, the infected material spills out into surrounding tissue, creating even deeper lesions. The skin attempts to repair these lesions by forming new collagen fibres. These repairs usually aren't as smooth and flawless as the original skin which results in an unsightly scar.

    What is a Skin Pen treatment?


    SkinPen/Micro Needling is clinically proven to improve the appearance of facial acne scars for people aged 22 and above for all skin types.

Once numb a delivery of needles in a pen will be applied 3 or more times in one area and at depths that are pre-determined by what is being treated. Expect pin prick bleeding during this treatment. Once completed a cool application of non scented ointment is applied and rubbed in. Don't be surprised by your skin shedding in the coming days as that's normal!
