A few decades ago, anti-aging mostly involved just the face and neck. Over time, thanks to advances in cosmetology, rejuvenation of areas such as the décolleté, knees and arms now plays an important role in rejuvenation.
Microneedling has become one of the most popular skin treatments for improving acne scars, hyperpigmentation, uneven skin texture and overall skin rejuvenation.
At Annetta Aesthetics, we use microneedling as part of personalised treatment plans designed to support healthier, smoother and brighter-looking skin.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive skin treatment that uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin.
These microchannels stimulate the skin’s natural healing response and encourage collagen and elastin production.
Collagen is essential for maintaining healthy, firm and smooth skin, which is why microneedling is commonly used for concerns such as:
* acne scars
* hyperpigmentation
* enlarged pores
* uneven skin texture
* dull skin
* fine lines and wrinkles
How Microneedling Helps Acne Scars
Microneedling is widely used as an acne scar treatment because it helps stimulate collagen production beneath the skin.
Over time, this can help improve the appearance of:
* atrophic acne scars
* uneven texture
* post-acne skin irregularities
Results develop gradually as collagen rebuilds within the skin, which is why consistency and professional guidance are important.
Can Microneedling Help Hyperpigmentation?
Yes — microneedling can help improve post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), especially pigmentation left behind after acne or skin inflammation.
By encouraging skin renewal and supporting healthier skin turnover, microneedling may help the skin appear:
* brighter
* smoother
* more even in tone
At Annetta Aesthetics, microneedling treatments are always tailored carefully to individual skin types and concerns.
What To Expect During Microneedling Treatment
Before treatment, your skin is thoroughly assessed during consultation to determine whether microneedling is suitable for your skin goals.
During the procedure:
* the skin is cleansed
* targeted treatment areas are treated using a microneedling device
* treatment depth is adjusted depending on the concern being treated
Most clients experience temporary redness and mild sensitivity afterwards, similar to a mild sunburn.
Recovery time is usually minimal, although aftercare and sun protection are essential following treatment.
How Many Microneedling Sessions Are Needed?
The number of sessions varies depending on:
* skin concern
* scar severity
* skin type
* treatment goals
For acne scars and hyperpigmentation, a course of treatments is often recommended for best results.
Healthy skin is a journey, and results improve gradually over time with consistency and appropriate skincare support.
