Reduce Acne Scaring with Microneedling
Post acne scars can be treated with microneedling. Microneedling with SkinPen is a minimally invasive procedure that can be effective in reducing the appearance of acne scars by stimulating the skin's natural collagen production process, essentially "filling in" the depressions left by acne scarring.
A series of 3 - 6treatments, each 4 weeks apart is recommended. Maintenance every 6 months thereafter.
Our focus allows us to deliver consistent, highly successful outcomes for clients who have struggled elsewhere.

What Makes Our Acne Treatment Different?
Unlike traditional dermatology offices that rely heavily on oral prescriptions like accutane, antibiotics and birth control with harsh side effects, our acne treatment approach focuses on restoring skin health naturally, holistically through education and consistency.
What Is Accutane (Isotretinoin)?
Accutane, also known as isotretinoin, is a powerful oral medication used to treat acne by permanently shrinking the oil glands. However, Accutane carries serious potential side effects. More than 7,000 lawsuits have been filed against Roche Pharmaceuticals, which stopped making Accutane in 2009, but many dermatologist still prescribe generic versions.
A high percentage of acne sufferers experience only temporary relief from isotretinoin because it addresses surface symptoms without correcting the root cause. When treatment stops or the skin becomes over-dried, the barrier weakens, oil production rebounds, inflammation increases, and acne often returns sometimes worse than before.
At LEINE, we consider Accutane a band-aid approach. Our goal is always to help clients achieve clear skin in the safest, most sustainable way possible.

SkinPen® Microneedling
Treatment of Acne Scarring
At LEINE, acne scarring is treated with SkinPen® microneedling, the first FDA-cleared microneedling device. SkinPen creates precise micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate the body’s natural collagen and elastin production, helping to soften depressed acne scars and improve overall texture and tone.
SkinPen microneedling is effective for many common types of acne scarring, including shallow boxcar and rolling scars, and is safe for a wide range of skin tones when performed by a trained provider.
Most clients benefit from a series of 3–6 SkinPen treatments, spaced approximately four weeks apart. Gradual improvement continues for several months as new collagen forms, with maintenance treatments recommended every six months as needed.
