Microneedling for Acne Scars: Is It Worth It? | By Rachel Jade Worthing

Acne scars can be stubborn, emotionally draining, and difficult to treat with just skincare alone. If you’ve tried every serum and cream without much luck, you might be wondering: Is microneedling actually worth it for acne scars?

At By Rachel Jade, it’s one of our most in-demand treatments — and for good reason. Microneedling stimulates collagen production, resurfaces the skin, and over time, can visibly fade acne scarring.

In this blog post, we’ll walk you through what microneedling is, how it works, and real results from our clients to help you decide if this treatment is right for you.

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling (also known as collagen induction therapy) is a minimally invasive treatment that uses ultra-fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger your body’s natural healing response — boosting collagen and elastin production, which are key for repairing skin texture and tone.

How Does Microneedling Help Acne Scars?

Microneedling works particularly well on atrophic acne scars — those small, indented scars left behind after inflamed breakouts. By rebuilding the collagen under the surface, the skin gradually becomes smoother, firmer, and more even in appearance.

Microneedling can help improve:

• Ice pick scars

• Boxcar scars

• Rolling scars

• Overall skin texture

• Post-acne pigmentation

💡 Pro tip: Results improve with consistency. Most clients see the best results after 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart.

Is Microneedling Worth It?

In our professional opinion — absolutely. Especially if:

• You’ve tried topical products without success

• You want a natural approach (no fillers or harsh lasers)

• You’re prepared to commit to a course of treatments and aftercare

Microneedling offers visible improvement with minimal downtime and long-lasting results.

What to Expect After Treatment

After microneedling, you may experience some redness (like a sunburn) for 24–48 hours. Slight flaking or peeling is also normal. We’ll guide you through aftercare to ensure your skin heals beautifully.
