Collagen” is one of the most talked-about concepts in skincare—but it’s also one of the most misunderstood. At Core Aesthetic, we emphasize a physician-led approach: collagen isn’t something you can apply from a bottle; it’s something your skin must be stimulated to produce. If your skincare routine has plateaued, microneedling—also known as collagen induction therapy—may be the missing link.

Acne breakouts may fade, but the scars they leave behind can linger—affecting both skin texture and confidence. The good news is that today’s advanced aesthetic treatments offer effective solutions to visibly smooth and restore your skin.

Understanding Acne Scars

Acne scars form when inflammation damages the deeper layers of the skin during breakouts. As the skin heals, it may produce too little or too much collagen, leading to uneven texture, indentations, or discoloration. Because every individual’s skin and scar type is different, a customized treatment approach is essential for optimal results.
