Microneedling vs. Laser for Acne Scars: Which is Right for You?

Microneedling

Expert Treatment. Visible Results. Only at SIA Clinics

Acne scars don’t have to be permanent. At SIA Clinics, we focus on sophisticated, non-invasive treatments to improve and restore your skin’s natural beauty.

Two of our best two solutions are:

Microneedling

Laser Therapy

These treatments all have their differences, and learning about those differences can help you choose the right one for your skin.

What is Microneedling?

Another Name: Collagen Induction Therapy

How It Works:

Microneedling A treatment using fine, sterile needles to puncture the skin, which, in turn, causes controlled micro-injuries. These trigger your body’s own recovery mechanism to increase collagen and elastin production, key to healthier and younger looking skin.

Importance of Microneedling:

  1. Enhances skin texture and tone
  2. Minimizes the marks of acne scars, fine lines and large pores
  3. Gentle on all skin types, even darker tones
  4. Little down time (usually a day or two)
  5. Non-intrusive and encourages self healing effects

What Device Is Used for Skin Needling Treatment SIA Clinics uses medical-use microneedling devices to guarantee that you get safe, customized and result-driven skin treatments.

 

What is Laser Therapy?

Also Known As: Laser Resurfacing
How It Works:
Laser therapy uses concentrated beams of light to target and break down scar tissue and stimulate collagen production. There are two main types:

  • Ablative lasers, which remove the outer layers of skin
  • Non-ablative lasers, which work beneath the skin without affecting the surface

Key Benefits of Laser Therapy:

  • Effective for deep or long-term acne scars
  • Enhances skin smoothness and corrects pigmentation
  • Long-lasting results with fewer sessions
  • Most suitable for fair to medium skin tones

At SIA Clinics, we offer both fractional CO2 and non-ablative laser treatments, selected according to your skin type and recovery preferences.
