MICRONEEDLING FOR ACNE SCARS | Acne Scar Treatment in Birmingham  

Acne Scar Medical Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that’s used to treat deep to wide acne scarring concerns by stimulating collagen production and growth factors. Also known as collagen induction therapy (CIT), this treatment creates micro-punctures in the skin using pulsating miniature, sterilized needles. Microneedling for acne scars triggers the natural healing response processes after the micro punctures have been created. This can help remodel the skin from the inside outward resulting in significantly reduced scarring and improved skin elasticity.

 LASERS V ACNE SCAR MEDICAL MICRONEEDLING

Acne Scar Medical Microneedling is considerably safer and less expensive than laser therapy and does work better for the majority. Laser treatments involve the use of heat, which can affect your skin’s pigmentation making Acne Scar Medical Microneedling a safer natural approach to targeting stubborn acne scar concerns. Laser therapy may not be the best option to treat deep or narrow acne scars due to the fact that most lasers do not reach the floor or walls of the scars thoroughly enough to encourage the individual scars to elevate towards the surface following manually targeted stimulation of the collagen production that Acne Scar Medical Microneedling offers. People with darker skin tones prefer microneedling to laser therapy because of safety and pigmentation concerns.
