Most people to get Acne see it first during adolescence, and it can continue into adulthood. In adolescence, acne is usually caused by an increase in testosterone, which people of both genders accrue during puberty. For most people, once they reach their early twenties, acne diminishes and tends to disappear. There is, however, no way to predict how long it will take to disappear entirely, and some individuals will carry this condition well into their thirties, forties, and beyond.

Scars from acne are the result of inflammation within the dermis brought on by acne. The scar is created by the wound trying to heal itself resulting in too much collagen in one spot.

Collagen Injections to Treat Acne Scars
Some clinics use collagen injections to plump out flat ’tissue-paper’ scars and pitted ‘ice-pick’ scars. But we have all seen bad collagen injection results in celebrities, so if you choose this process, please use caution.

Dermabrasion or Microdermabrasion for Acne Scar Removal
Dermabrasion, which is basically ‘planing down’ of the skin using a high-speed wire brush, this used to be a common method of dealing with acne scars. It is no longer used very often because of the risk of infection.

Microneedling as an Effective Acne Scarring Treatment Method
This development has only recently been made available, and this method is carried out within your own home. Microneedling of the skin effectively promotes the formation of collagen in the skin and is effective on the more common types of scarring. This technique is also used for the reduction of other types of scars including stretch marks.

Research from 2006 (which included tissue biopsies) has shown that a single micro needling session can encourage up to a 1000% increase in collagen levels in the skin, making it appear younger, healthier, more elastic and even textured. Visit our Skin Roller Before and After Pictures page.

The Derma Rejuv skin roller is for acne scars and is not suitable for active acne.

Choosing the right size needle is important to achieve effective results.

In order to rejuvenate the derma, roller needles will penetrate the upper layer of skin, which temporarily opens the pores. This process will stimulate collagen and also allow your skincare products to penetrate deeper into the skin.
