Skin goals
Texture & scarring
Uneven texture and post-acne scarring are structural, so the pathway that works is the one that rebuilds structure. A planned Dermapen Pro 4 needling series is the backbone here, refining texture and softening the appearance of scarring session by session, with peels and microdermabrasion doing the surface-level polishing in between.
The pathway
- Rebuild: needling sessions (full face $259, winter special $199) prompt fresh collagen exactly where scarring has left the skin uneven, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart.
- Polish: microdermabrasion ($59) and the Cosmo Peel ($179) refine the surface between needling visits.
- Calm: LED after each active treatment supports recovery and comfort.
Active breakouts are settled first via the acne pathway; needling scarred skin while it is still breaking out sets the plan back.
What scarring realistically does
Depressed acne scarring softens and shallows across a committed series; it does not vanish, and anyone promising erasure is selling. Clients typically notice makeup sitting better and light catching the skin more evenly within a few sessions, with the deeper change accruing over months. Progress photos at the studio keep the change visible and the plan honest.
Frequently asked
How many needling sessions for acne scarring?
Scarring plans usually run 4 to 6 sessions about a month apart, then reassess. Depth and age of scarring matter, so your number is mapped at assessment rather than guessed, and outcomes are never guaranteed.
Does it work on old scars?
Collagen remodelling responds even in scars that are years old; older, deeper scarring simply asks for more sessions and patience than recent marks.
Can texture improve without needling?
Meaningfully, yes: peels and regular microdermabrasion refine surface texture well. Needling is what reaches the structural unevenness underneath.
