Medical Microneedling — Acne Scarring

About this treatment

Acne scarring is one of the most emotionally significant skin concerns we treat at Sebastian Rose — and medical microneedling is one of the most clinically proven treatments available for it. Acne scars form when the skin's collagen network is disrupted during healing — leaving depressions, textural irregularities, pitting and pigmentation that persist for years and resist skincare alone. Medical microneedling addresses this directly by creating controlled micro-injuries that trigger the body's natural wound-healing response, stimulating new organised collagen precisely where it is needed most. Over a course of treatment, depressed scars lift, texture smooths, pigmentation fades and skin quality improves significantly. Results are progressive and cumulative — each session building on the last. Performed exclusively by an Independent Nurse Prescriber — not a beauty therapist. This means access to prescription-grade regenerative agents including polynucleotides, exosomes, PRP and BioRePeel that dramatically amplify results beyond standard microneedling and are unavailable at non-medical clinics.
