Needling mesotherapy is a method of delivering active substances into the dermis using a thin needle, which allows for precise action in problematic areas of the skin. In the case of acne, this procedure is used both during active inflammatory changes (with appropriate ingredients) and in treating the effects of acne - such as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, tissue laxity, or scars. Mesotherapy works in two ways: it delivers anti-inflammatory, sebum-regulating, and regenerating substances to the skin, while mechanical stimulation stimulates cell renewal and collagen synthesis.
When is it worth using needling mesotherapy?
The treatment is recommended for people who:
- struggle with chronic, treatment-resistant acne,
- have skin prone to hyperpigmentation and acne scars,
- need support in skin regeneration after intensive treatments,
- suffer from adult hormonal acne without active pustules,
- wish to firm and regenerate skin that has lost elasticity due to long-term acne.
The treatment is not recommended for active pustular acne - in such cases, inflammatory conditions should first be calmed using other methods.
Effects of needling mesotherapy in acne skin therapy
The effects of needling mesotherapy depend on the type of administered preparation, but typically include:
- reduced number of inflammatory lesions and comedones,
- regulation of sebaceous glands' function and reduction of sebum flow,
- improved skin structure and smoothing of acne scars,
- lightening of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and evening out of skin tone,
- accelerated healing and improved skin resistance to external factors,
- rebuilding of tissue tension and elasticity.
The effects appear gradually - improvement in skin condition can be seen after 1-2 treatments, but a full therapy usually consists of 3-5 sessions every 2-3 weeks.
Quick guide - which mesotherapy to choose?
In acne treatment, we use, among others:
- Mesotherapy with azelaic acid and zinc - acts antibacterially and sebum-regulating, ideal for active lesions.
- Mesotherapy with vitamin C and niacinamide - lightens hyperpigmentation and strengthens vessels, recommended for rosacea.
- Mesotherapy with biomimetic peptides and hyaluronic acid - used in scar treatment and skin structure reconstruction post-acne.
- Targeted therapies (e.g., Acnelan, NCTF, Mesohyal, Skin Perfusion) - individually tailored to skin needs and treatment phase.
What to combine needling mesotherapy for acne with?
For a more comprehensive effect, it's advisable to combine the treatment with:
- LED Therapy with red or blue light
⟶ When: directly after mesotherapy or the next day
⟶ Why: reduces inflammation, aids healing, and reduces the risk of complications
- Fractal laser iPixel or ClearSkin Pro
⟶ When: minimum 3 weeks after mesotherapy or 3 weeks before
⟶ Why: laser intensely stimulates skin rebuilding, while mesotherapy nourishes and supports skin regeneration
⟶ When: 5-7 days after the procedure
⟶ Why: has soothing, antibacterial, and moisturizing effects
When not to combine?
Needling mesotherapy should not be combined with:
- chemical peels on the same day,
- microdermabrasion and mechanical cleansing without a minimum 7-day gap,
- oral retinoid therapies - a minimum of 6 months gap after treatment completion,
- in cases of active, pustular acne, or infectious conditions.
Why do patients choose needling mesotherapy?
Because it's a treatment that provides real improvement in skin quality - not just temporary smoothing, but a lasting reduction in lesions, scars, and signs of inflammation. Thanks to the possibility of individually selecting the cocktail, mesotherapy acts purposefully and comprehensively, with visible effects on both skin appearance and function. It is one of the most precise and multi-level treatments in modern acne skin therapy.
