PRP for Acne Scars: Does It Really Work?
Struggling with acne scars?
Discover how PRP treatment helps smooth texture, fade pigmentation, and naturally heal your skin with minimal downtime.
If you’ve tried everything for your acne scars—peels, creams, lasers—but still feel like your skin isn’t as smooth as you want it to be, PRP might be your new go-to.
Short for Platelet-Rich Plasma, PRP is a natural, non-surgical treatment that uses your body’s own healing power to repair damaged skin—making it an amazing option for improving textured, pitted, or discolored acne scars.
How PRP Helps with Acne Scarring
PRP is packed with growth factors that stimulate collagen, accelerate healing, and regenerate skin cells. When used for acne scars, PRP works to:
- Smooth out texture and indents
- Fade redness and hyperpigmentation
- Strengthen skin and boost elasticity
- Improve overall tone and glow
We usually apply PRP through microneedling, also known as a “Vampire Facial”. The tiny micro-channels help the PRP penetrate deeply into the skin, supercharging the healing process and collagen production where you need it most.
Is PRP Better Than Other Acne Scar Treatments?
It depends on your skin and scar type. PRP is ideal for:
- Shallow, pitted scars
- Post-inflammatory pigmentation
- Thin or sensitive skin
- Clients who want a natural treatment with minimal downtime
For deeper scars or active acne, we may recommend a combo with:
- CO2RE laser resurfacing
- Potenza RF microneedling
- Medical-grade skincare for long-term support
How Many PRP Treatments Do You Need for Acne Scars?
Most clients see noticeable results after 3 to 4 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Because the results build gradually, you’ll see skin texture, tone, and glow improve with every session.
Is There Downtime?
Minimal! You may be red for 24–48 hours after microneedling with PRP, but most clients are back to normal in a day or two. No peeling, no flaking—just fresh, glowy skin as you heal.
