Acne scars can be frustrating—reminders of breakouts long gone, leaving behind uneven texture and pigmentation. If you’ve tried every serum on the shelf without success, it’s time to explore microneedling—a clinical skin rejuvenation treatment growing in popularity at advanced clinics like Amethyst Beauty in Yeovil.
So, does microneedling really work for acne scars? Let’s break it down.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates the body’s natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin—proteins essential for smooth, firm skin.
At Amethyst Beauty, we offer both Classic Microneedling (£60) and Luxury Microneedling (£99) with advanced serums like Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid, Retinol, or even Salmon DNA and Stem Cells for deeper rejuvenation.
Benefits of Microneedling for Acne Scars
- ✅ Reduces indented acne scars and smooths skin texture
- ✅ Fades post-acne hyperpigmentation and redness
- ✅ Tightens pores and boosts overall glow
- ✅ Improves skin hydration with added serums
- ✅ Suitable for face and body treatments
Many clients at Amethyst Beauty notice visible improvement after just one session, with optimal results seen in 3–6 sessions spaced a few weeks apart.
Is It Better Than Other Acne Scar Treatments?
Microneedling vs Chemical Peels vs PRP (Vampire Facial):
| Treatment | Best For | Downtime | Price at Amethyst Beauty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Microneedling | Acne scars, enlarged pores | Minimal (24-48 hrs) | From £60 |
| Chemical Peel | Pigmentation, surface scarring | 2–5 days flaking | £50 |
| PRP Vampire Facial | Deep collagen boost, overall texture | Mild redness | £200 |
Microneedling offers a great balance between results and recovery time. For deeper scars, combining it with PRP or RF Microneedling can provide even faster and more dramatic improvements.
What to Expect During and After a Session
At Amethyst Beauty:
- Your skin is cleansed and numbed for comfort
- A sterile microneedling device is used in targeted areas
- A skin-specific serum is applied to boost results
- You’ll leave with a mild redness (like a sunburn), which fades within 1–2 days
🔁 Your skin will start producing new collagen over the next few weeks, revealing a smoother, clearer, and brighter complexion.
Is Microneedling Safe?
Yes—especially when performed by a qualified beauty therapist like Marianne at Amethyst Beauty in Yeovil. We follow strict hygiene protocols and tailor each session to your skin type and goals.
Microneedling is FDA-approved, suitable for most skin tones, and has a very low risk of side effects when done professionally.
