Medical Grade Microneedling: An effective treatment for active acne.

Want to know the most underrated aesthetic secret? A true transformation starts with the skin.

As a mom of two teen boys, I understand the challenge of treating acne. Skin health is multi-dimensional, often fueled by hormones, stress, and diet. While harsh prescription medications and topicals are usually the first defense, these interventions can strip the skin, disrupting the natural microbiome and impairing barrier function. My own experience with my sons inspired me to find an evidence-based solution to share with my patients – many of whom struggle with acne or have kids and, like me, want a more efficient option.

I’ve heard the misconceptions propagated over social media that you should avoid microneedling over acne. The belief that microneedling could worsen acne or lead to an increase in lesions by spreading acne-related bacteria has impeded research into its safety and efficacy as a treatment option – until now.

A recent study published to Skin Health and Disease demonstrates that there is no scientific reason for microneedling to be contraindicated for acne. Trial subjects, all clinically diagnosed with acne vulgaris, were split into two groups. Group 1 received three microneedling treatments every 4 weeks, and Group 2 received four microneedling treatments, each 2 weeks apart. The results were extraordinary. Group 1 and Group 2 saw a decline of 48.20% and 54.00% in non-inflammatory lesions and 57.97% and 36.67% in inflammatory lesions, respectively, at their last visit compared to their baseline.

When it comes to complete skin health, the signature medical grade microneedling protocols and products that we combine here at N2 Aesthetics offer the best potential for impactful outcomes. The skin transformations I have seen from my patients truly blow me away.

So, let go of the myths and embrace the science—medical grade microneedling could be the transformative solution you've been searching for on your journey to clear, confident skin.
