Acne scars present at the end of the inflammatory phase of acne vulgaris have been treated with procedures that stimulate the production of collagen, such as microneedling. Six patients with acne scars were selected. Microneedling was performed with 2.5 mm needles. Subjective improvement was observed in all patients. In the technique of percutaneous collagen induction there is release of cytokines, growth factors and angiogenesis, with final production of type I collagen, making microneedling an excellent option for the treatment of acne scars, both for its cost/ benefit and for not drawing patients away from their daily activities.
