Scar Healing & Removal with Microneedling
Restore Your Skin Naturally with Microneedling
Scars from acne, surgery, or injuries can impact both confidence and skin texture. Fortunately, microneedling offers a non-surgical, safe, and effective solution to promote skin rejuvenation, fade scars, and improve overall skin tone. At Glow Wellness Care, we specialize in advanced microneedling techniques to help clients achieve smoother, healthier skin.
Serving East Northport NY, Long Island, Nassau County, Suffolk, and Commack, NY, our expert team customizes treatments based on individual skin types and concerns. Whether you want to reduce old scars, diminish hyperpigmentation, or improve skin elasticity, microneedling stimulates collagen production to heal your skin naturally.
How Microneedling Promotes Scar Healing & Removal
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin using fine needles. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production to repair damaged tissue.
Key Benefits of Microneedling for Scar Treatment:
- Stimulates collagen production for smoother skin
- Breaks down scar tissue, promoting new cell growth
- Reduces redness and evens out skin tone
- Improves skin elasticity and firmness
- Minimally invasive with little downtime
- Safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones
By increasing cell turnover and supporting skin regeneration, microneedling is one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for scar healing and removal.
Types of Scars Microneedling Can Treat
Microneedling is highly effective for reducing various scar types, including:
Acne Scars
Smooths pitted scars and reduces post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
Surgical & Injury Scars
Fades scars from surgeries and accidents
Stretch Marks
Improves skin elasticity and reduces stretch marks
Burn Scars & Keloids
Softens raised scars and evens out skin tone
Regardless of the scar type, microneedling promotes natural skin repair and a more even complexion.
Best Microneedling Treatments for Scars
For enhanced results, microneedling is often combined with specialized serums or therapies tailored to your skin’s needs.
Microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
- Uses growth factors from your own blood to accelerate skin repair
- Enhances collagen production for faster healing
Microneedling with Hyaluronic Acid
- Deeply hydrates the skin for a smoother texture
- Reduces inflammation and improves skin tone
Microneedling with Vitamin C Serums
- Brightens skin and fades hyperpigmentation
- Enhances long-term collagen production
Each treatment plan at Glow Wellness Care is customized based on your skin type and scar severity for optimal results.
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
Microneedling works gradually, with multiple sessions recommended for the best outcome.
Typical Treatment Plan:
- Mild scars: 3-4 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart
- Moderate to deep scars: 4-6 sessions for noticeable improvement
- Older or severe scars: 6+ sessions, sometimes combined with other treatments
When Will You See Results?
- Initial improvements appear within a few weeks
- Full collagen remodeling occurs over 3-6 months
- Continued treatments enhance long-term skin regeneration and scar fading
Since microneedling stimulates natural skin repair, results improve gradually as collagen builds over time.
Microneedling vs. Other Scar Treatments
While microneedling is one of the most effective methods for scar reduction, here’s how it compares to other treatments:
Treatment | Benefits | Considerations |
Microneedling | Stimulates natural collagen production, minimal downtime | Gradual improvement, requires multiple sessions |
Chemical Peels | Exfoliates skin, improves hyperpigmentation | Requires 3-5 days of recovery, best for superficial scars |
Dermal Fillers | Adds volume to pitted scars for immediate results | Temporary solution, requires maintenance |
Microneedling provides a natural, long-lasting approach to skin rejuvenation with minimal recovery time.

Post-Treatment Care for Faster Healing
To maximize microneedling results and support skin healing, follow these post-treatment guidelines:
Do’s:
- Use a gentle, hydrating moisturizer to soothe the skin
- Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+) to protect healing skin
- Stay hydrated to support collagen production
Don’ts:
- Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 48 hours
- Skip harsh skincare products (retinoids, AHAs, BHAs) for 5-7 days
- Avoid makeup and excessive sweating for 24-48 hours
Following these guidelines helps reduce redness, speeds healing, and enhances long-term results.
