Even after acne has subsided, scars often remain as unwelcome reminders that can have a lasting impact on confidence and skin texture. Among nearly 2,000 acne patients seen by dermatologists in the United States, 43% had acne scarring, with delaying effective treatment being a significant risk factor for this condition. Scarring can be reduced by following post-acne routines that protect your barrier, reduce inflammation, and promote collagen remodeling. Stem cell skincare products have made scar prevention and reversal easier than before. One effective method that is gaining popularity is the combination of microneedling and stem cell serum, such as Calecim Professional Microneedling Serum.
Understanding Acne Scars: Types, Causes And Impact
Acne is an inflammatory skin condition. Inflammation can interfere with normal wound healing, resulting in atrophic or hypertrophic scars. Atrophic scars are depressed or indented scars caused by collagen loss (examples include ice pick, rolling, and boxcar scars). Hypertrophic scars are raised scars caused by an excess of collagen production during the healing process.
Scarring is typically caused by prolonged inflammation or trauma (such as squeezing pimples), which impairs the skin’s ability to heal itself effectively. If collagen production is either too low or too high during the healing phase, visible scarring results.
The Function Of A Microneedling Serum In Scar Prevention
Microneedling causes controlled micro-injuries, which stimulate collagen induction and temporarily open micro-channels to improve topical penetration. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, microneedling is commonly used to treat acne scars and can be combined with topicals or energy devices, reducing acne scars by approximately 50-70%.
Choosing A Clinical Grade Microneedling Serum
A professional microneedling serum should be barrier-supportive, clinically proven, and intended to reduce inflammation while promoting renewal. The serum should be applied immediately after the procedure and continued for several days to aid in remodeling.
Why Choose CALECIM® For Your Microneedling Serum?
CALECIM® Professional Microneedling Serum contains the highest concentration of PTT-6®, a proprietary blend of stem-cell-derived proteins and signaling molecules like growth factors and exosomes. It is intended to reduce inflammation, promote healing, and repair the skin, making it ideal for post-procedure treatments like microneedling.
Calecim serum is recommended for in-clinic or at-home skin treatments, and it can be combined with daily skincare to improve results, targeting fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation while keeping skin supple. Clinical studies showed that using CALECIM® Professional Serum in conjunction with microneedling improved the appearance of acne scars.
FAQs
Q: Is a microneedling serum necessary?
It’s not required, but many doctors use a microneedling serum right after the procedure to help sensitive skin feel better and look better.
Q: Can I microneedle while I still have breakouts?
Most of the time, no. People with active acne shouldn’t get needles because they can spread bacteria and make problems worse. Treat and calm first.
Q: Can I combine Calecim Serum with other skincare?
Yes, Calecim works well with vitamin C, AHAs, BHAs, and antioxidants when properly layered. Your skincare should be layered based on the product’s viscosity, from light to heavy.
Conclusion
Timing and consistency are essential for preventing post-acne scarring: reduce inflammation early on, protect against pigmentation, and promote collagen remodeling with procedures and carefully chosen topicals. A professional microneedling serum, particularly one formulated for post-procedure skin, is in line with this biology. Calecim professional microneedling serum, with its highest concentration of PTT-6®, integrates seamlessly into post-acne routines to keep skin supple and resilient while you address texture and tone.
