Acne Scars Run Deeper Than the Surface
You've tried the serums. You've waited it out. But those indented marks, dark spots, and uneven patches are still there, and they're changing the way you feel in your own skin.
For people with medium to darker skin tones, finding a provider who actually understands how your skin responds to treatment is its own challenge. Too many clinics offer one-size-fits-all protocols that aren't designed with melanin-rich skin in mind, and that's where things can go wrong.
At Adorn Aesthetics in Cordova, TN, we see this every day. Patients who've been told to just "wait and see," or who've tried treatments that left them with more damage than they started with. There's a better way, and it's grounded in real medical expertise.
What Microneedling Does for Acne Scars
Microneedling creates controlled micro-channels in the skin, triggering your body's natural healing response. Collagen and elastin flood the treated area, gradually filling in depressed scars, smoothing texture, and fading post-inflammatory discoloration.
The depth of treatment, the serums applied, and the aftercare protocol all determine how effective your results will be. That's why credentials matter: at Adorn Aesthetics, our RN and NP license means we can apply prescription-grade topicals during treatment that licensed estheticians are not permitted to use.
Medical-Grade Microneedling, Designed for Your Skin
Deloris Evans, RN and Tynisha Scruggs, FNP-C bring a combined 25+ years of clinical and aesthetic experience to every treatment at our Cordova med spa. For acne scar remodeling, we offer three protocol options depending on your skin's needs:
- SkinPen with prescription topicals — including tranexamic acid for hyperpigmentation and Lift Plus for laxity, available only through licensed medical providers
- PRP Microneedling — platelet-rich plasma from your own blood is applied to accelerate collagen rebuilding and enhance scar remodeling
- EXO|E Exosome Protocol — a three-step treatment using medical-grade serums before, during, and after your session for enhanced healing
Every patient at Adorn Aesthetics starts with a consultation. We'll assess your scar type, skin tone, and goals before recommending a protocol, because the right treatment is the one that's right for you. Meet our team to learn more about our credentials and approach.

What Patients Notice After Microneedling for Acne Scars
Smoother skin texture: Microneedling gradually fills in depressed scars, creating a smoother skin surface by stimulating collagen production beneath the skin.
Faded discoloration: Our targeted prescription topical protocols effectively diminish post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, enhancing the evenness of your skin tone.
Lasting results: Unlike surface-only treatments, microneedling induces structural changes in the dermis, resulting in improvements that continue to develop for months following your sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Microneedling for Acne Scars
Most patients see meaningful improvement after 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Deeper boxcar or icepick scars may require more sessions. Your provider will give you a realistic recommendation during your consultation.
Yes, and this is one of our specialties at Adorn Aesthetics. Unlike lasers that can trigger hyperpigmentation in melanin-rich skin if used improperly, microneedling is safe for all skin tones when performed correctly. Our team has deep experience treating diverse skin, and we use prescription topicals that actively target discoloration.
SkinPen is our medical-grade microneedling device. PRP microneedling adds platelet-rich plasma derived from your own blood to the treatment, which enhances the healing response and can produce stronger results for deep scarring. We'll recommend the right option based on your scar type and goals.
Expect redness and mild sensitivity for 24–48 hours. Most patients return to normal activities the next day. We'll provide detailed aftercare instructions at your appointment to support healing and protect your results.
