Does Microneedling Really Work for Acne Scars? We’ve Got the Answer.

Let’s cut to the chase. If you’ve been Googling, "Does microneedling really work for acne scars?" the short answer is: yes… but not all microneedling treatments are the same..

At Chronos Body Health & Wellness in Metairie, we’ve helped countless clients smooth out acne scars, boost collagen, and bring skin back to life with our advanced microneedling options, and we’re here to break it all down for you.

First: What Is Microneedling, Really?

Microneedling uses ultra-fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This kickstarts your body’s natural healing response and stimulates collagen and elastin, the two key players in skin regeneration.

When done right, microneedling:

• Reduces the appearance of acne scars
• Improves skin texture
• Minimizes pores
• Helps skincare products absorb better (yes, your serums will work harder)

So… How Does That Help Acne Scars?

Acne scars are stubborn because they’ve damaged the deeper layers of your skin. Microneedling targets these layers by creating tiny “channels” that trigger healing from the inside out, breaking up scar tissue and replacing it with fresh, smoother skin.

Think of it as your skin’s natural reset button.

Our Microneedling Options at Chronos

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all skincare, especially when it comes to acne scars. That’s why we offer multiple types of microneedling at Chronos, each customized to your skin type and goals:

SkinPen® Microneedling

FDA-cleared, minimally invasive, and a go-to for refining acne scars with zero downtime. It’s the OG microneedling tool trusted for consistent, visible results.

RF (Radiofrequency) Microneedling

This one combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy. Think of it as a collagen-boosting power combo. Great for deeper scarring, texture issues, and tightening.

PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) Microneedling

Your body’s own healing factors? Yes, please. We draw a bit of your blood, spin it down to isolate powerful growth factors, and apply it during microneedling for enhanced scar repair and regeneration. Like a vampire facial, but backed by science.

Bonus: Pair It with Medical-Grade Skincare

Your results don’t stop when you leave our treatment room. Our providers at Chronos will recommend medical-grade skincare tailored to your skin post-treatment, helping to hydrate, protect, and enhance the scar-healing process.
