Microneedling mesotherapy is an effective method for skin regeneration and reduction of acne scars, involving controlled micropenetration of the epidermis and dermis using a device with pulsating needles (e.g. Dermapen, mesopen). The treatment creates microchannels in the skin, which initiate the body's natural repair response - activation of fibroblasts, collagen and elastin synthesis, and accelerated tissue regeneration.
As a result of this stimulation, the skin gradually undergoes structural remodeling: scars become shallower, the skin becomes smoother, more toned, and regains a uniform complexion. Importantly, microneedling mesotherapy works locally, does not damage healthy tissue, and can act as a carrier for active substances - such as peptides, amino acids, platelet-rich plasma - which further enhance the therapeutic effect.
When to use microneedling mesotherapy for scars?
The treatment is particularly recommended for:
- atrophic acne scars (pitted, ice-pick scars),
- post-inflammatory scars and discoloration remaining after acne,
- small post-traumatic scars,
- enlarged pores and skin laxity in the area affected by acne changes.
It can be performed on both young individuals with active healing processes and adults with established scars requiring collagen stimulation.
Effects of microneedling mesotherapy on scars
The effects of microneedling mesotherapy accumulate gradually, from treatment to treatment, and include:
- Shallower atrophic scars - due to the stimulation of collagen fiber reconstruction,
- Improved skin texture - smoothing of unevenness, reduction of pores and keratinization,
- Increased density and firmness in the scarred area,
- Lightening of post-inflammatory pigmentation and uniform skin tone,
- Improved microcirculation and accelerated skin metabolism,
- Reduced skin reactivity and improved regeneration capacity.
Results become visible after 2-3 weeks, but full improvement occurs after a series of 3-6 treatments, performed every 3-5 weeks.
How to enhance the effects of microneedling mesotherapy?
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) - Apply directly after microneedling mesotherapy.
PRP contains natural growth factors that strongly stimulate tissue regeneration, accelerate healing, and enhance collagen rebuilding effects. Particularly recommended for patients with thin, reactive skin or established atrophic scars. - Peptide or amino acid ampoules - Apply during the treatment - ingredients are introduced into the skin through microchannels.
Active biomimetic peptides, collagen, hyaluronic acid, or amino acid complexes improve skin density and facilitate the remodeling of scar tissue. They can be individually tailored to the skin's needs (brightening, densifying, anti-inflammatory). - LED Therapy (red light) - Recommended post-treatment, in the same visit or within 48 hours.
It has anti-inflammatory properties, shortens the recovery time, and reduces redness. Stimulates ATP production in cells, supporting skin repair processes. In individuals with sensitive or reactive skin, LED significantly improves post-treatment comfort. - Non-Ablative Fractional Laser (1540 nm, 1570 nm) - Both methods are intensive stimulants - they should be appropriately spaced in time (minimum 4-6 weeks apart) to allow the skin to regenerate.
The laser acts in deeper skin layers, strongly stimulating collagen remodeling. Combining it with microneedling provides a layered regeneration effect and is effective in treating deeper acne scars. - Non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid - Added to the cocktail or used in post-treatment care.
It intensely moisturizes the skin, improves its elasticity, and supports natural repair processes. Particularly recommended for dry, irritated, and sensitive skin. - Home care with ceramides, zinc, panthenol - Initiate immediately after the treatment and continue for at least 7 days.
It regenerates the skin's protective barrier, reduces irritations, and speeds up reepithelialization. Supports the therapeutic effect and protects against complications.
Why is it worth it?
Acne scars are not just an aesthetic problem but also a structural skin defect. Microneedling mesotherapy is a safe, modern method that not only improves appearance but activates the skin to repair from within - at the site of damage. The treatment stands out for its low invasiveness, precision, and customization possibilities - both in terms of parameters and active substances.
By combining it with appropriate products, such as ampoules, and supportive technologies, effective, multi-level therapy tailored to individual skin needs is possible. This is an ideal solution for patients expecting real results - without the need for a long recovery period.
