Acne scars can be a persistent reminder of past breakouts, often causing frustration and self-consciousness. These scars form when severe acne inflames the skin, leading to tissue damage and an irregular healing process. While scars may vary in appearance—from shallow indentations to deeper marks—non-surgical treatments offer hope for those seeking smoother skin.

RF microneedling is an innovative, effective solution that uses tiny needles and radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production, improving skin texture and reducing the visibility of acne scars over time. At Privvy Modern Health, RF microneedling treatments are available to help you achieve clearer, more even-toned skin. We also provide AviClear® laser treatments to reduce acne and prevent future breakouts!

Why do acne scars form?

Acne scars form when the skin experiences deep inflammation caused by severe acne, such as cysts or nodules. When these lesions penetrate the skin, they damage both the skin tissue and the surrounding collagen. As the body attempts to heal, it either produces too much collagen, leading to raised scars, or too little, resulting in depressed or pitted scars.

The healing process is also influenced by factors like genetics, skin type, and the severity of the acne. Additionally, picking or squeezing acne can worsen inflammation, making scars more likely. This combination of biological responses and skin damage creates long-lasting marks that vary in depth and appearance, turning once-temporary blemishes into permanent skin features.

How can Privvy Modern Health help me?

At Privvy Modern Health, we find that RF microneedling is the best solution for acne scars. RF microneedling treatments offer an advanced, non-invasive solution for reducing acne scars by combining two powerful techniques: microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) energy. During the procedure, tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response. At the same time, RF energy is delivered deep into the dermis, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This process not only helps to smooth out scarred tissue but also promotes the growth of new, healthy skin cells.

Over time, as collagen rebuilds the skin’s structure, acne scars become less noticeable, and the skin’s overall texture improves. The result is smoother, firmer skin with significantly reduced scarring, making RF microneedling an effective option for those seeking long-lasting improvement without surgery.
