How SkinPen Microneedling Can Help Improve Acne Scars

Acne scars can leave a lasting mark — both on the skin and on your confidence. Fortunately, SkinPen Microneedling offers a clinically proven way to smooth, refine, and rejuvenate the skin.

At CLEO, we help clients in Minneapolis (Edina & Maple Grove) and Detroit (Downtown Birmingham) achieve noticeable improvements in skin texture and tone through this safe, FDA-cleared treatment.

How SkinPen Works

SkinPen is a medical-grade microneedling device that creates tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries:

Trigger the body’s natural healing response
Stimulate new collagen and elastin production
Promote healthy tissue remodeling

The result is smoother skin, diminished scars, and improved overall texture — all without the harsh side effects of more invasive treatments.

Why SkinPen Is Effective for Acne Scars

Targets Scar Tissue: The controlled micro-injuries break up fibrous scar tissue and encourage natural collagen formation.
Refines Texture: Over multiple sessions, SkinPen helps smooth uneven areas caused by past acne.
Minimizes Pore Appearance: Microneedling also reduces enlarged pores, which often accompany acne scars.
Gentle Yet Effective: With minimal downtime, most clients experience a few hours of mild redness and a noticeable post-treatment glow.

What to Expect During Treatment

The procedure is customized to your skin type and concerns.
Most clients need 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart for optimal results.
Combining SkinPen with professional-grade serums can further enhance healing and results.

Post-Treatment Care

Avoid sun exposure for several days.
Use gentle cleansers and moisturizers.
Follow any post-care instructions provided by your CLEO provider to maximize results and minimize irritation.
