SkinPen for Acne Scarring

SkinPen is an FDA-cleared, medical-grade microneedling device that uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process activates the body’s natural wound-healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production — two essential components for repairing skin damage, including acne scars.

Types of Acne Scars – What You Need to Know

Atrophic Scars:
These are the most common acne scars and include:

• Ice Pick Scars: Deep and narrow pits.
• Boxcar Scars: Broad depressions with sharp edges.
• Rolling Scars: Shallow with sloping edges, giving the skin a wavy texture.

Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH):
Dark marks left behind after a breakout. Not a true scar, but still a major concern for many.

What SkinPen Does

Stimulates Collagen Remodeling

Microneedling triggers the skin to produce new collagen and elastin — rebuilding the dermal structure, filling in acne scars, and smoothing uneven texture.

Breaks Down Scar Tissue

The micro-injuries disrupt dense scar tissue beneath the skin’s surface, encouraging the growth of healthier skin cells.

Improves Skin Texture and Firmness

As your skin regenerates, it becomes softer, more elastic, and visibly smoother — especially beneficial for indented or pitted scars.

Reduces Post-Acne Discoloration

SkinPen helps fade lingering red or brown marks (PIH) by promoting skin turnover and dispersing excess melanin.

Enhances Topical Absorption

After microneedling, your skin is primed to absorb active ingredients like growth factors, peptides, or brightening agents more effectively.

Visible Benefits:

• Softer, smoother skin surface
• Noticeable reduction in acne scar depth and visibility
• Fading of post-inflammatory pigmentation
• More even skin tone and texture
• Boost in confidence with clearer-looking skin
