How Does Microneedling at Spa Blue Treat Acne Scars in Orlando, FL?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, uses tiny, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These microchannels trigger the skin’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production—two essential proteins that give skin its strength and elasticity.

For acne scars, this process helps to:
●Smooth out depressed or pitted scars
●Improve overall skin texture and tone
●Reduce the visibility of fine lines and uneven skin
●Promote the absorption of topical serums, enhancing results

Unlike more aggressive resurfacing procedures, microneedling works from the inside out, gradually remodeling scarred tissue while preserving the surrounding healthy skin. This makes it a safe and effective option for a variety of skin types and scar patterns.

Microneedling is suitable for most adults looking to improve the appearance of mild to moderate acne scars. Ideal candidates are those who:
●Have rolling or boxcar scars caused by previous acne
●Seek gradual improvement in skin texture without significant downtime
●Are in good overall health and free from active skin infections or severe inflammatory conditions

However, patients with certain conditions—such as active cystic acne, eczema, or open wounds—may need to delay treatment until their skin has healed. During your consultation, Janet Beres will evaluate your skin type, scar severity, and personal goals to ensure microneedling is safe and appropriate for you.

The number of sessions required varies depending on scar depth, skin type, and individual healing response. On average:
●Mild scarring: 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart
●Moderate to severe scarring: 6–8 sessions for more significant improvement

Most patients notice subtle improvements after the first session, such as smoother texture and enhanced skin radiance. Full results typically become visible after multiple treatments, as collagen remodeling continues over several months.

A microneedling session at Spa Blue is comfortable, efficient, and tailored to your needs. The treatment usually includes:
●Skin cleansing: Removal of makeup, oils, and impurities
●Application of numbing cream: Ensures minimal discomfort throughout the procedure
●Microneedling: Tiny, controlled punctures are created across the treatment area
●Post-treatment serum: Hydrating and healing serums may be applied to enhance recovery and results

Sessions typically last 45–60 minutes. After treatment, you may experience mild redness, tingling, or slight swelling, which usually resolves within 24–48 hours. Makeup can be applied the following day, though patients are encouraged to avoid sun exposure and follow a gentle skincare routine during recovery.

Unlike more aggressive procedures, microneedling requires minimal downtime, allowing patients to return to daily activities with minimal interruption.

Janet Beres takes a tailored approach to every patient, ensuring treatments are safe, effective, and aligned with individual goals. Personalization includes:

●Comprehensive skin assessment: Evaluating scar type, skin thickness, and sensitivity
●Customized needle depth and technique: Adjusted to target specific scar areas without damaging healthy tissue
●Adjunctive treatments: Incorporating growth factors, serums, or PRP (platelet-rich plasma) to enhance collagen production when appropriate
●Ongoing monitoring: Assessing results after each session and adjusting the treatment plan as needed

This individualized approach maximizes results while minimizing discomfort and downtime, helping patients achieve smoother, healthier-looking skin over time.
