What to Expect with Microneedling for Acne at Healthy Image Center
Infini™ (RF Microneedling) is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a sequence of fine needles to create micro-injuries across the skin’s surface. These continuities stimulate the body’s organic healing process, thereby increasing collagen production and other factors. The result is a long-term reduction in acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, and uneven skin texture.
Microneedling is most effective on sunken acne scars rather than thickened scars. This is because microneedling induces collagen. Elevated scars already have too much collagen in them. An important advantage to this procedure is that – unlike ablative laser therapy – microneedling is safe to use on darker skin tones.
Dynamic Results: See results within a week or less post-treatment and more dramatic outcomes should start to appear within a few weeks after that.
Firm Up The Skin: The extra collagen produced from microneedling occurs over the course of several weeks but ultimately will result in firmer skin.
Less Severe Breakouts: Acne breakouts may still occur after microneedling, however, most clients report that they are milder and clear up on their own.

Benefits of Microneedling for Acne
01.
Minimize Acne Scars
Acne scars are hard to remove. Many treatments for acne scars can be recommended, including over-the-counter medications, and they most often fail. Microneedling, as performed by a dermatologist or skincare specialist, will stimulate collagen production and reduce the depth and visibility of acne scars.
02.
Improve Skin Texture
Acne can produce signs of damage and aging, such as enlarged pores, uneven texture, and rough patches. Infini™ (RF Microneedling) can address these areas, bringing collagen production, circulation, and healing to these areas.
03.
Naturally Rejuvenate The Skin
Microneedling taps into the body’s natural ability to heal itself. All it does is stimulate it in subtle ways, producing long-lasting improvements to acne without the use of harsh chemicals or invasive procedures.
When Should I Do The Procedure?
When To Consider Microneedling
Acne scars improve on their own over time but there are limits. The first treatment many clients take is the use of anti-aging serums and creams. While these sometimes work to improve acne scarring, they won’t be able to successfully get rid of them completely. It is generally recommended to try microneedling if you’ve pursued these paths and have not found the results you wanted.
Microneedling is safe and affordable but also requires time to work. After treatment, your skin needs time to heal. For the average person, this is a month’s worth of time but, for others, it may be longer. Repeated treatments boost the result as well. This is why it’s best to wait to judge how microneedling is performing on your skin until after you’ve had a few sessions and a few months have passed.

Pre-Treatment Guidelines during Microneedling for Acne
Especially for first-time clients, the team at Healthy Image Center wants to make sure you are prepared for your Infini™ (RF Microneedling) treatment. Here are the steps to take before your appointment to ensure the results achieved are as impactful as possible.
Preparation Tips
-
Avoid Retinol and Exfoliants: Refrain from using retinol or exfoliating products for at least 72 hours prior to your appointment.
-
Stay Hydrated: Keep drinking plenty of water throughout the 24 hours prior to microneedling to support your skin’s natural resilience.
-
Minimize Sun Exposure: Protect your skin from the sun to ensure there are no sunburns or unnecessary skin sensitivity going into your appointment.
Day of Your Appointment
-
No Makeup: Ensure you arrive with clean, makeup-free skin. Do not use any lotions or creams on the treatment area.
-
Antiviral Medication: If you are prone to cold sores, it is recommended to take an antiviral for two days before your appointment and the day of.
-
Shave: If you have facial hair or dense hair in the treatment area, shave the day before.
Important Reminders
- First Consultation: Take full advantage of the initial consultation to ask questions, get information, and arrive at a treatment plan for your skincare needs.
- Side Effects: The side effects from microneedling are mild, however, their severity depends on how you’ve prepared prior to the procedure. Any sort of irritant on the skin, lack of hydration, or not following directives may increase the likelihood of side effects.
There are some situations wherein microneedling may not be recommended, such as if you’re currently experiencing an acne breakout, have a rosacea or eczema flare-up, or have recently had skin radiation therapies. Also, if you scar easy, discuss this with your skincare professional as microneedling could potentially result in scarring over top of the acne scarring already present. For the majority of individuals, microneedling is safe, effective, and often one of the better pathways to take in treating acne.
