• laser resurfacing;
• non-ablative and fractional laser;
• chemical peels;

Post-Acne Treatment: The Unique Possibilities of Microneedling

The ideal treatment for acne scars is to maintain

the integrity of the epidermis while promoting the normal synthesis of collagen and elastin structures in the dermis.

Procedures that disrupt the integrity of the epidermis, such as ablative laser resurfacing and deep peels, can lead to adverse reactions such as hyperpigmentation or scarring.

From this point of view,

microneedle therapy is ideal for treating post-acne, as the needles penetrate deep into the dermis without damaging the epidermis.

When the needle penetrates, microchannels are formed, in which, in response to damage, a

cascade of inflammatory reactions is triggered:

stem cells located inside the dermal papilla are activated;
platelets and neutrophils are recruited to release growth factors TGF-alpha, TGF-beta and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF);
activates the synthesis of collagen and elastin in the papillary dermis.

The mechanical action of the needles passing through the scar tissue is also thought to play a role in breaking down the existing

fibrous type III collagen that forms in the scar tissue, replacing it over time with a collagen type I.

A 2016 study found microneedling to be the safest, most effective, and cost-effective treatment for post-acne.

Post-Acne Treatment: CellRenew Microneedling Protocol

Dr. Adrian Baker has developed his own clinical protocol for the treatment of acne scars under the name

CellRenew Microneedling.

Using a combination of mild enzyme peel, automatic microneedling with a special stem cell cream, and completing the treatment with post-procedure LED therapy, the specialist saw a noticeable improvement in the results of post-acne therapy.

In addition to this, the doctor was able to

reduce the required number of procedures. This made it possible to make post-acne treatmentfaster and more cost-effective.

A 24-year-old woman came to the clinic and reported that she had suffered from acne since her teenage years, however, she considered acne scars to be the main problem, and she wanted to eliminate them. At the time of examination, she still had rashes on her cheeks and forehead.

It is extremely important to treat acne early to prevent scarring.

For six weeks, the patient was given topical

retinol 1%, salicylic acid 2%

, gentle cleanser and UV protection.

After the improvement of the clinical picture, the doctor continued the treatment for another 6 weeks.

At the end of 12 weeks, active inflammatory elements disappeared in the patient, so it was possible to proceed to

elimination of post-acne scars

.

protocol, the clinician cleansed the skin and then applied the

AlumierMD Enzyme Texturing Peel for five minutes. The purpose of this aspect of the treatment was to prepare the skin for the application of Calecim Professional

Stem Cell Cream during and after microneedling.

After the enzyme peel, a thick layer of LMX4

local anesthetic cream was applied for 20 minutes, then half of the LMX4 was removed from one side of the face and

Clinisept +. The entire area was treated with a microneedling device at a depth of 0.5 - 1 mm.

During and after the procedure, the doctor applied Calecim Professional

stem cell product

LED mask using a combination of red, blue and infrared LEDs at 415nm, 630nm and 830nm for 20 minutes.

This dual therapy provides an antibacterial (blue light) effect, stimulates fibroblasts (red light), and heals wounds (infrared light).

Six weeks after the third

CellRenew Microneedling

course, the patient was delighted with the results.

During the entire course of treatment, there were no complications, with the exception of short-term erythema for one to two days.

The patient is recommended to undergo

preventive treatment

once a year to consolidate the results of therapy.
