đŚ Microneedling on Active Acne: Does It Really Spread Bacteria? Letâs Talk Facts
One of the most common myths we hear is that microneedling âspreads acne bacteria all over the face.â
The Aesthetics Clinic is setting the record straight:
The bacteria often blamed for acneâC. acnesâis naturally present on everyoneâs skin. Itâs a normal part of your skinâs microbiome, and not something that gets âspreadâ in a way that causes breakouts during microneedling.
In fact, microneedling done in a controlled clinical environment, with single-use sterile needles, antibacterial protocols, and targeted skincare, actually helps reduce breakouts, not cause them.
Hereâs how microneedling supports acne-prone skin:
-Reduces inflammation and redness
-Balances sebum (oil) production
-Promotes skin cell turnover for faster healing
-Enhances absorption of medical-grade, acne-targeted serums
-Helps decongest pores and prevent new breakouts
With the right technique, products, and post-care, microneedling is a powerful treatment for active acne, not just acne scars.
When combined with evidence-based skincare like ZO, AlumierMD, and Hydrinity, it can significantly improve skin clarity, texture, and resilience.
Microneedling isnât a âone size fits allâ treatment, but when performed by an experienced medical provider, it can be an essential part of your acne healing journey.
