What's included

5 deliverables in this treatment

  • DermaPen microneedling session at depth appropriate to scar type and severity
  • Optional PRP (platelet-rich plasma) infused into micro-channels during needling
  • Two-week healing pause between microneedling and laser stages
  • XTRAC 308 nm excimer laser sessions (3 per week for 2 weeks per cycle)
  • Cycle progress review and parameter adjustment before each repeat cycle

A structured combined protocol for acne scarring and stretch marks using DermaPen microneedling (with optional PRP) and XTRAC 308 nm excimer laser in alternating cycles. The DermaPen creates thousands of micro-channels that trigger dermal collagen synthesis; the excimer laser follows to reduce inflammation and stimulate renewed skin activity in the treated zones. One treatment cycle runs approximately five weeks, and four to five cycles are recommended for established scarring. Coverage extends to face and body, including delicate zones around the eyes, lips and nose.

About this treatment

Acne scarring and stretch marks share a common underlying mechanism: the loss or disorganisation of dermal collagen in a confined zone, producing a visible depression or textural irregularity in the skin surface. Both respond well to treatments that stimulate new collagen synthesis within the affected zone — and both are best addressed by combining a mechanical collagen stimulus with an anti-inflammatory and regenerative laser application.

At Derma Medical Clinic the treatment cycle for acne scars and stretch marks follows a structured sequence. The first stage is a DermaPen microneedling session at appropriate depth — typically 1.5–3 mm for established atrophic acne scars to penetrate the fibrous scar base — with an optional PRP (platelet-rich plasma) application to the micro-channels immediately after needling. The PRP delivers concentrated growth factors directly into the dermal zone…

The cycle is then repeated: four to five full cycles are recommended for moderate to significant acne scarring or mature stretch marks, with each cycle producing incremental improvement in scar depth, surface texture and pigment uniformity. Results from individual cycles are visible approximately four to six weeks after each cycle ends, as the collagen remodelling phase matures.
