Even after the acne has cleared, scars often remain as unwanted memories that can have a lasting impact on self-confidence and skin texture. Among the nearly 2,000 acne patients seen by dermatologists in the United States, 43% had acne scars, with delaying effective treatment being a major risk factor for this condition. Scarring can be reduced by following post-acne routines that protect your barrier, reduce inflammation and promote collagen remodeling. Stem cell care products have made scar prevention and repair easier than before. An effective method that is becoming increasingly popular is the combination of microneedling and stem cell serum, such as Calecim Professional Microneedling Serum.
Understanding Acne Scars: Types, Causes, and Effects
Acne is an inflammatory skin condition. Inflammation can disrupt normal wound healing, resulting in atrophic or hypertrophic scars. Atrophic scars are depressed or dimpled scars caused by collagen loss (examples include ice pick, roller, and boxcar scars). Hypertrophic scars are raised scars caused by excessive collagen production during the healing process.
Scars are usually caused by long-term inflammation or trauma (such as popping pimples), which compromises the skin’s ability to heal itself effectively. If collagen production is too low or too high during the healing phase, visible scarring will occur.
The function of a microneedling serum in scar prevention
Microneedling produces controlled micro-injuries, which stimulate collagen induction and temporarily open micro-channels to improve local penetration. According to the American Academy of DermatologyMicroneedling is often used to treat acne scars and can be combined with topical agents or energy devices, reducing acne scars by approximately 50-70%.
Choosing a clinical-grade microneedling serum
A professional microneedling serum should be barrier supporting, clinically proven, and intended to reduce inflammation while promoting renewal. The serum should be applied immediately after the procedure and continued for several days to promote remodeling.
Why choose CALECIM® for your microneedling serum?
CALECIM® Professional Microneedling Serum contains the highest concentration of PTT-6®, a proprietary blend of stem cell-derived proteins and signaling molecules such as growth factors and exosomes. It aims to reduce inflammation, promote healing and repair skin, making it ideal for post-procedural treatments such as microneedling.
Calecim serum is recommended for in-clinic or at-home skin treatments, and can be combined with daily skin care to enhance results, target fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation and keep skin supple. Clinical trials showed that using CALECIM® Professional Serum in combination with microneedling improved the appearance of acne scars.
Frequently asked questions
Q: Is a microneedling serum necessary?
It’s not mandatory, but many doctors use a microneedling serum immediately after the procedure to help sensitive skin feel and look better.
Question: Can I microneedle while I still have pimples?
Usually not. People with active acne should not receive needles as they can spread bacteria and worsen the problems. Treat and calm first.
Question: Can I combine Calecim Serum with other skin care?
Yes, Calecim works well with vitamin C, AHAs, BHAs and antioxidants when layered properly. Your skin care should be layered based on the viscosity of the product, from light to heavy.
