🧠 Case Clinic: Microneedling Acne

A 27-year-old client comes in requesting microneedling to treat acne scarring.

During consultation, you notice active inflammatory breakouts across the cheeks and jawline, along with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and early textural changes.

She says:
“I know I still break out, but I really want to start treating the scars now.”

Her current routine includes:

Salicylic acid most nights
Basic cleanser + moisturizer
Inconsistent SPF
Minimal barrier-support products

She’s eager for results and has seen microneedling all over social media.

She wants it to:

Clear her acne scars
Improve skin texture
Even out her skin tone
Get visible results quickly
