Introduction
If you are looking for the best treatment for acne scars, microneedling with the 1NEED Pro device by Campomats is a real game-changer.
In our new video, we follow Sara’s treatment step by step. She has been struggling with deep acne scars; therefore, this innovative procedure helps to smooth the skin while stimulating natural regeneration. You’ll find the link to watch the full video at the end of this article.
Why 1NEED Pro Offers the Best Treatment for Acne Scars
The key innovation lies in the single-needle cartridge, a patented solution available exclusively from Campomats.
The doctor can set the needle depth directly from the handpiece (0–2.5 mm), ensuring complete control during the procedure. Consequently, each session is precisely customized to the patient’s skin condition and comfort level.
The single needle allows targeted treatment of atrophic acne scars, breaking fibrotic tissue and stimulating collagen remodeling exactly where it is needed — without unnecessary trauma to the surrounding skin.
Step-by-Step Protocol for Doctors
This protocol describes how to perform microneedling with 1NEED Pro and the single-needle cartridge for acne scars.
1. Patient Preparation
- Anesthesia: Apply a topical anesthetic cream (e.g., lidocaine 5%) for 20–30 minutes. Remove completely before starting the procedure.
- Assessment: Evaluate the type and depth of the acne scars (ice-pick, rolling, boxcar).
- Skin Cleansing: Disinfect the area thoroughly with a chlorhexidine-based antiseptic solution.
2. Device Settings
- Use the 1NEED Pro handpiece with the single-needle cartridge (1PM).
- Set the needle depth according to the scar depth:
- Superficial scars: 0.5–1.0 mm
- Medium-depth scars: 1.0–1.5 mm
- Deep scars: 1.5–2.5 mm
- Adjust the speed to a high level for maximum precision and comfort.
- For instance, tiny scars? We go directly inside the depression for a smoother surface.
- On the other hand, wider scars? A 30° approach helps release the tissue and boost collagen.
3. Microneedling Technique
- Hold the handpiece at a 30° angle relative to the skin surface.
- Perform controlled manual movements, targeting each individual scar.
- For each scar:
- Insert the needle at a 30° angle to break the fibrotic strands beneath the scar base.
- Then, perform perpendicular insertions (90°) to stimulate uniform collagen induction.
- Treat the entire affected area gradually, working scar by scar.
Tip: Always observe slight pinpoint bleeding — this indicates proper dermal stimulation. Avoid excessive passes to prevent unnecessary trauma.
4. Post-Needling Application
Immediately after needling:
- Apply linear, low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid (non-crosslinked) over the treated area.
- This helps retain moisture and supports faster skin regeneration.
- Massage gently until fully absorbed through the micro-channels.
5. Regeneration Boost
- Apply the 1NEED ProLine Exosome Biomask for 10–15 minutes.
- This advanced mask contains exosomes and soothing botanical ingredients that calm the skin, reduce redness, and accelerate the healing process.
6. Post-Treatment Care
- Mild erythema (redness) may last 12–24 hours.
- Instruct patients:
- No makeup for 24 hours.
- Use broad-spectrum SPF 50 daily.
- Avoid exfoliating products or active ingredients (AHA/BHA/retinoids) for at least 3 days.
Recovery and results
- Skin appears slightly red but feels smooth and hydrated after the procedure.
- Visible improvement is often seen after the very first session, with progressive remodeling over the following weeks.
- For optimal results, recommend a series of 3–10 sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart.
Sara’s Experience after 2 Sessions
“I’ve struggled with acne for a long time, and my skin was completely pitted. After the treatment, I immediately noticed my skin was much smoother, and I’m really happy with the results.”
