Skin Needling for Scar Revision

Acne Scarring & Skin Remodelling

At MOSO CLINIC, we offer advanced skin needling for scar revision using the SkinPen®, the first microneedling device approved by both the TGA and FDA. This precision-controlled treatment is designed to improve the appearance of acne scarring, surgical scars, and textural irregularities by stimulating the skin’s natural healing and regeneration processes.

By creating uniform micro-injuries in the dermis, SkinPen activates collagen remodelling, softening the appearance of indented, pitted, or uneven scarring. This treatment helps restore smoother skin texture and supports long-term dermal strengthening.

What It Treats

• Atrophic acne scarring (ice pick, boxcar, rolling scars)
• Post-inflammatory pigmentation
• Surgical and superficial trauma scars
• Uneven skin texture from past breakouts

How It Works

SkinPen creates thousands of controlled micro-injuries using ultra-fine, medical-grade needles. These microchannels penetrate the dermis, where acne scars form, triggering a cascade of healing responses including fibroblast activation, inflammatory signalling, and the release of growth factors.

This process disrupts and breaks down disorganised collagen fibres within the scar tissue, allowing the skin to remodel and replace them with structured Type I and III collagen. The result is a smoother, more even skin surface and reduced scar depth over time.

Skin needling also promotes angiogenesis (new capillary formation), enhancing circulation and nutrient delivery to support tissue regeneration. Because the epidermis remains intact, this treatment is suitable for most skin types with a lower risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation compared to ablative procedures.

What to Expect

• Treatment time: 60 minutes including topical numbing
• Sensation: Mild prickling or vibration with tolerable pressure
• Downtime: Temporary redness and light flaking for 1–3 days
• Results: Gradual improvement in scar depth and skin texture over 6–12 weeks
• Recommended protocol: 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, depending on severity

Complimentary 30 min LED Photodynamic Therapy session included with every scar revision treatment

Each SkinPen™ scar revision treatment includes a complimentary 30-minute high-output LED phototherapy session to support healing and enhance results.

LED light works at a cellular level to stimulate skin regeneration, reduce inflammation, and assist in the breakdown and remodelling of scar tissue.

By promoting healthy collagen production and calming post-treatment redness, this added step helps accelerate recovery and improves overall skin texture and clarity.

FAQs - ACNE SCAR REMODELLING

Please reach us at info@mosoclinic.com.au if you cannot find an answer to your question.

What is acne scar remodelling with SkinPen?

Acne scar remodelling with SkinPen is a precision microneedling treatment that creates controlled micro-injuries to stimulate collagen and elastin production. This process helps remodel and improve the appearance of pitted, indented, or textured acne scars over time.

How does SkinPen help reduce acne scarring?

SkinPen promotes the skin’s natural wound-healing cascade. The microchannels trigger fibroblast activity, which breaks down old scar tissue and initiates new collagen formation. Over a series of treatments, this leads to smoother, firmer, and more even skin texture.

Is SkinPen safe for acne scars?

Yes. SkinPen is both FDA- and TGA-approved for microneedling and is clinically proven to safely treat acne scarring. It is suitable for most skin types and tones, with minimal risk when performed by trained professionals.

How many treatments will I need?

For best results with acne scarring, we typically recommend a course of 3–6 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, depending on scar depth, skin condition, and individual healing response.

What does the treatment feel like?

A topical anaesthetic is applied to ensure comfort. Most clients describe the sensation as light pressure with mild prickling. The treatment is well tolerated, and any discomfort is temporary.

What can I expect after treatment?

Mild redness and sensitivity similar to a light sunburn may last 24–72 hours. You may also experience light peeling as the skin regenerates. Visible improvements typically appear within a few weeks, with results continuing to build over time.

Are there any side effects or downtime?

SkinPen has minimal downtime. Common effects include temporary redness, warmth, or tightness. These are normal healing responses and usually subside within a few days. Proper post-care and sun protection are essential.

Is LED phototherapy included?

Yes. Every acne scar remodelling treatment includes a complimentary 30-minute LED recovery session, which supports collagen synthesis, calms inflammation, and enhances healing for better results.

Who is this treatment suitable for?

This treatment is ideal for clients with textural acne scarring, such as atrophic or rolling scars. It may not be suitable for active cystic acne, raised (keloid) scars, or certain skin conditions. A consultation is required to assess your suitability.

Can this treatment be combined with other therapies?

Yes. Acne scar remodelling may be combined with other modalities like chemical peels or laser resurfacing in a staged plan. Your clinician will tailor the approach to your skin’s needs and tolerance.
