Skin Needling: A Proven Solution for Acne Scarring at Hush Clinical

Jess Callahan • May 29, 2024

Acne scarring can be a persistent and troubling concern, affecting not only your appearance but also your confidence. If you're seeking an effective solution, skin needling might be the answer.


At Hush Clinical, we offer advanced skin needling treatments designed to help you achieve smoother, clearer skin. Here's why skin needling is a proven solution for acne scarring and why you should consider it at Hush Clinical.


Understanding Skin Needling

Skin needling, also known as microneedling or collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin.


These micro-injuries trigger the body's natural healing process, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin—proteins that are essential for maintaining healthy, youthful skin.


How Skin Needling Helps with Acne Scarring

  1. Collagen Stimulation:
  • The micro-injuries caused by the needles stimulate the skin's natural healing process, leading to increased collagen production. This helps to fill in and smooth out acne scars, improving the skin's texture and appearance.
  1. Skin Regeneration:
  • The procedure promotes the regeneration of skin cells, which can help fade post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and other discolorations associated with acne scars.
  1. Improved Skin Texture:
  • By promoting collagen and elastin production, skin needling helps to tighten and firm the skin, reducing the appearance of scars and creating a more even skin texture.
  1. Enhanced Absorption:
  • The microchannels created during skin needling allow for better absorption of topical treatments and serums, enhancing their effectiveness in treating acne scars.

What to Expect During Your Skin Needling Treatment

  • Consultation:
  • Your journey begins with a detailed consultation where we assess your skin and discuss your treatment goals. This helps us determine the best approach for your needs.
  • Procedure:
  • During the treatment, a numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort. The microneedling device is then gently moved across the treatment area, creating controlled micro-injuries.
  • Post-Treatment Care:
  • After the procedure, your skin may appear red and feel slightly sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects typically subside within a few days. We provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to support your skin's healing process.
  • Results:
  • As your skin heals, you'll start to notice improvements in texture and a reduction in the appearance of acne scars. Optimal results are usually seen after a series of treatments, spaced several weeks apart.

  • A: You may notice some initial improvement in skin texture within a week, but the most significant results are typically seen after several weeks as the skin continues to produce new collagen. Optimal results are often achieved after a series of treatments.

Q: How many treatments will I need?

  • A: The number of treatments required varies depending on the severity of your acne scars and your skin’s response to the treatment. Most clients see the best results after 3-6 sessions, spaced about 4-6 weeks apart.

Most Sensitive Skin Isn't Actually Sensitive The Skin Barrier Truth Most People Never Hear By Jess, Owner of HUSH Clinical | 30 Years of Skin Experience Every week I meet people who tell me they have sensitive skin. Their skin is red. It stings. It feels tight. Products suddenly irritate them. Nothing seems to work anymore. And after more than 30 years treating skin, I've noticed something interesting. Around 90% of these clients don't actually have what I would consider true sensitive skin. What they have is a damaged skin barrier. What Is The Skin Barrier? Your skin barrier is your body's natural protective shield. Think of it as the brick wall that keeps moisture in and irritants out. When your skin barrier is healthy, your skin feels: Comfortable Balanced Hydrated Calm Resilient When the barrier becomes damaged, everything changes. Suddenly your skin becomes: Red Reactive Tight Dry Itchy Easily irritated Most people assume they have sensitive skin. In reality, their skin is simply crying out for help. How Do People Damage Their Skin Barrier? The biggest causes I see include: Over-Cleansing Many people believe that squeaky-clean skin equals healthy skin. It doesn't. If your skin feels tight after cleansing, you've likely removed too much of your skin's natural protection. Too Many Active Ingredients Retinol. Vitamin C. Acids. Peels. Exfoliants. These ingredients can be fantastic when used correctly. But when clients start layering multiple active products without guidance, the skin often becomes overwhelmed. Following Social Media Trends TikTok and Instagram have convinced many people that more products equal better results. The truth? Most people need fewer products, not more. Over-Exfoliation One of the most common mistakes I see. Exfoliation can improve skin texture and brightness, but too much exfoliation strips the barrier and leaves the skin vulnerable. The Signs Of A Damaged Skin Barrier You may have barrier damage if: Products suddenly sting Your skin feels tight after cleansing You experience unexplained redness Your skin feels dry but also breaks out Moisturisers don't seem to work anymore Your skin reacts to products you've used for years These symptoms are often mistaken for sensitivity. What I Recommend Instead The first thing I do is simplify. We stop chasing the next miracle product. We focus on restoring the skin. Step 1: Use A Gentle Cleanser One of my favourites is Synergie UltraCleanse . It removes makeup, sunscreen and daily buildup without leaving the skin feeling stripped or tight. Step 2: Reduce Active Ingredients Sometimes less really is more. Giving the skin a chance to recover can make a dramatic difference. Step 3: Focus On Barrier Repair Some of my favourite products for compromised skin include: Dr Spiller Sanvita Cream Eco by Sonya Glory Oil Eco by Sonya Super Fruit Hydrator Synergie DermaCalm These products help support hydration, comfort and skin barrier recovery. Step 4: Be Patient The skin barrier doesn't repair overnight. Consistency is often more important than intensity. My Biggest Skincare Tip After treating thousands of skins over the years, one thing has become very clear. Most people don't need stronger skincare. They need healthier skin. When the skin barrier is functioning properly, many common concerns improve naturally. Less redness. Less irritation. Better hydration. Healthier-looking skin. Not Sure If Your Skin Is Sensitive Or Barrier Damaged? That's where professional advice makes all the difference. At HUSH Clinical, we offer complimentary skin consultations to help identify what's really happening with your skin and create a plan that's tailored to you. Because the right skincare doesn't have to be complicated. Sometimes it's simply about giving your skin what it needs most.
