Acne scarring treatment is a daunting task—it can be frustrating, stressful, and a struggle. The prevalent fight with scarring is not limited to those facing this challenge but also to dermatologists. It can negatively impact an individual’s confidence and esteem.

Scarring is mainly due to a reduction in the rate of collagen production.

It’s comforting to know that this need not be the case anymore. With the evolution of technology, now, acne scarring can be a thing of the past.

Stem cell treatment and micro needling are the miracle answer to the challenges of acne scarring. A combination of the two procedures is applicable, or one can opt for either.

Microneedling (Derma Pen) is an induction therapy for the production of collagen and elastin. Besides, the procedure uses fine needles used to puncture just the top layer of the skin.

Stem cell therapy involves the isolation of stem cells from the individual, these undergo differentiation and propagation then re-injected into the patient.

Alternatively, local activation by introducing endogenous cells into a given area, the aim is to induce the regeneration of new tissue. Again, this is done intravenously or using subcutaneous injection.
