GENTLO RF Microneedling for Acne Scars

Acne scars are a common aesthetic concern and may affect skin texture and appearance. Selecting the most appropriate approach depends on scar type and depth, skin characteristics, recovery time and each person’s needs.

How Acne Scars Affect Skin Appearance

Acne scars often create uneven skin texture, with depressions or hypertrophic marks that become more noticeable in strong lighting. This may affect self-esteem and social confidence, particularly when the scars are on the face.

Selecting a Treatment Approach

Available approaches, such as lasers, fillers, peels and microneedling, are not applied in the same way to every skin or scar type. Selection is individual and follows an assessment of the area’s characteristics.

How Scars Change over Time

Some marks may become less noticeable over time, while deeper scars may remain visible. Assessing their type and depth helps in planning an appropriate approach.

Factors in Selecting an Approach

The choice of approach depends on skin type, scar type and depth, the size of the area and the recovery time that may be required.

Safety and Side Effects

Temporary reactions such as redness, irritation or changes in skin pigmentation may occur after treatment. Assessing skin phototype, medical history and treatment area forms part of individual planning.

Recovery Time

Recovery time varies according to the method, treatment intensity and skin characteristics. Treatments such as deeper lasers or chemical peels may require a longer recovery period.

GENTLO RF Microneedling for Acne Scars

Acne scars may be complex, and their treatment is planned according to scar type, depth and extent. GENTLO RF Microneedling combines microneedling, radiofrequency and plasma technology, with parameters adjusted to the characteristics of the area.

How do the individual technologies work?

✔ Microneedling – Creates controlled microchannels in the skin, activating natural healing mechanisms.
✔ Radiofrequency (RF) – Delivers thermal energy at a selected depth, with the aim of stimulating collagen and elastin production.
✔ Plasma – Used as part of the application to prepare the area and support the delivery of small-molecule solutions.

The combination of technologies and treatment plan are selected individually.

Features of GENTLO RF Microneedling

Combination of technologies – The system combines microneedling, radiofrequency and plasma.

Treatment adjustment – Depth and intensity are adjusted according to the area and skin characteristics.

Different skin phototypes – Suitability and treatment parameters are assessed individually.

Recovery time – Skin response and recovery time may vary according to treatment intensity and area.

The Role of GENTLO in Acne Scar Treatment Planning

GENTLO treatment may form part of an individual plan to improve the texture and appearance of acne scars.

Changes in the skin are assessed gradually and depend on scar type, treatment intensity, number of sessions and each person’s response.

The suitability of the method and its combination with other applications are determined after medical assessment.
