What To Expect During And After Microneedling Treatment for Acne Scars at Clinica Errami
Acne scars aren’t just marks on the skin — they’re silent reminders of past struggles that can affect self-confidence and self-image. At Clinica Errami, we believe that everyone deserves to feel comfortable in their own skin. That’s why we offer Microneedling treatment, a revolutionary skin-renewal treatment designed to fade scars, smoothen texture, and reveal a more radiant you.
If you’re considering microneedling for acne scars but unsure of what the journey entails, this guide walks you through every step — with honesty, care, and clarity.
Meet the Magic: What exactly is Microneedling?
Microneedling, sometimes called collagen induction therapy, involves using ultra-fine, medical-grade needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the surface of the skin. These tiny punctures stimulate your body’s natural healing process, stimulating the secretion of collagen and elastin, two crucial proteins that aid in repairing the skin, reducing scarring, and improving tone and texture.
At Clinica Errami, we use state-of-the-art microneedling devices, ensuring precision, comfort, and safety throughout your treatment. It’s not just about pricking the skin — it’s about waking up its deepest healing powers.
Before the First Prick: Your Personalized Consultation
Every skin story is unique — and so is every microneedling treatment at Clinica Errami.
Your journey begins with a detailed consultation with one of our experienced dermatologists or aesthetic practitioners. During this session, we assess the type and depth of your acne scars, discuss your medical history, skin type, and expectations. Based on this, we devise your treatment plan tailored specifically for you.
You’ll also receive pre-treatment instructions, which may include:
- Pausing certain skincare products (like retinoids)
- Avoiding sun exposure
- Staying hydrated
- Arriving with clean, makeup-free skin
The Treatment Room: What happens during Microneedling?
Microneedling treatment may sound intimidating, but the procedure is surprisingly gentle and quick.
To ensure your comfort, a numbing cream is applied to your face and left on for 20-30 minutes. Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure or a tickle, not pain.
Once your skin is numb, the microneedling device is gently glided over the targeted areas. A session of this treatment generally takes up to 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the severity of your scars and the area being treated.
We often pair microneedling with growth serums, hyaluronic acid, or PRP (platelet-rich plasma) to elevate healing and boost results — another layer of personalized care we’re proud to offer at Clinica Errami.
Post-Treatment Glow (and a Little Redness): What to expect after?
Once your session is complete, your skin will look and feel like it has a mild sunburn — red, slightly tight, and possibly a bit sensitive. This is completely normal and mostly subsides within 24–48 hours.
You might also experience:
- Mild swelling
- Flakiness or dryness
- Tiny pinpoint scabs (they’ll shed naturally)
The Transformation Timeline: When will you see results?
One of the most exciting parts of microneedling is watching your skin slowly but surely transform.
Here’s a general timeline to keep in mind:
- Days 1–3: Redness and tightness fade; skin starts healing
- Week 1: Texture feels smoother, skin tone starts to even out
- Week 2–4: Visible improvement in acne scars and brightness
- 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart: Best results for deeper scars
Your skin will continue to improve over time, as collagen remodelling can take several months. Most patients witness a significant difference after just a few sessions, especially when combined with good skincare and sun protection.
Is Microneedling treatment right for you?
Microneedling is deemed to be safe for most skin types and tones. It’s especially effective for:
- Post-acne pitted or atrophic scars
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven skin texture
- Fine lines and early signs of aging
However, it’s not suitable for those with active acne, some types of skin infections, or a history of keloid scarring. During your consultation at Clinica Errami, we’ll help you decide if it’s the right choice for your skin.
