Microneedling scar serum for microneedling with Dermaroller and Dermapen - ampoule 5 ml
This microneedling scar serum is a concentrate for the intensive treatment of spots and scars (acne scars, surgical scars, stretch marks) with microneedling and other automated cosmetic treatments.
It acts as a cell proliferator and epithelialisation stimulant as well as a "chemical cleanser", i.e. it helps to regenerate the tissue by accelerating the growth of "healthy tissue".
Main active ingredients of the sterile microneedling scar serum
Alantoin
Alantoin is an active ingredient that is characterised by the fact that it accelerates the process of shedding dead or aged skin cells and replacing them with new cells.
It promotes and accelerates the natural healing processes. In addition, it has been observed that the action of allantoin stimulates the formation of keratin, collagen and elastin, making our skin smoother and more elastic, giving it a healthier and rejuvenated appearance.
Dragon Blood
Dragon Blood is an extract from the dragon's blood tree (Croton lechleri) with a wide range of beneficial properties for skin care.
It promotes the formation of collagen, improves and accelerates the healing process, has a strong anti-free radical effect, has an anti-inflammatory effect, facilitates wound healing by forming a protective layer, a physical barrier on the wound surface, which prevents microbial contamination and thus improves the healing process.

Good to know:
Microneedling with a Dermapen or Dermaroller has proven to be a gentle and effective method of treating scars in cosmetics, as it leads to a significantly improved skin appearance in most cases.
The good treatment results, especially for acne scars and burn scars, have been proven by numerous scientific studies.
The body's own wound healing is set in motion through many small puncture channels in the epidermis.
These micropunctures lead to the release of the body's own growth factors. These stimulate the synthesis of collagen and elastin as well as the formation of tiny new blood vessels (angiogenesis).
After a few weeks, the release of collagen leads to a thickening of the epidermis and increased tissue firmness.
As a result of microneedling and the associated processes, the scar tissue adapts to the surrounding skin.
Hypertrophic scars and scar keloids are not suitable for microneedling treatments. These types of scars belong in the hands of experienced dermatologists.
As with all microneedling treatments, the skin should be protected with a sun cream with a high sun protection factor (50+) for two to three weeks after the treatment.
Frequently asked questions about microneedling with scar serum for scars and acne scars
How does microneedling work on scars?
Microneedling is a popular cosmetic treatment that is particularly suitable for treating scars. Here are the main effects of microneedling:
- Stimulation of collagen production: microneedling stimulates the skin to produce more collagen and elastin. These proteins are crucial for skin regeneration and tightening and help to smooth out scar tissue.
- Promoting cell regeneration: Microneedling stimulates the natural regeneration of skin cells, which leads to an improvement in skin texture and a reduction in scars.
- Improving skin texture: The treatment helps to even out uneven skin surfaces and gives the skin a smoother, more even appearance.
- Increasing the effectiveness of skin care products: Microneedling increases the skin's receptivity to topical treatments, which can enhance the effects of serums and creams that target scars.
- Minimally invasive procedure: Compared to other scar treatments, microneedling is less invasive and has a shorter recovery time, making it a popular choice for many.
Regular microneedling treatments can visibly reduce scars and improve overall skin health.
Which microneedling serums should I use for scar treatment?
Sterile microneedling serums for scar treatment
Microneedling is a proven method for treating scars as it stimulates collagen production and promotes skin regeneration. Choosing the right serum is crucial for optimal results. Here are the best options from Utsukusy Cosmetics that you should consider for scar treatment:
- Sterile Microneedling Scar Serum: Specially formulated to treat scars, this serum helps to improve skin texture and reduce the visibility of scars. It contains active ingredients that promote skin regeneration and provide a smoother skin texture.
- Sterile Collagen Serum: This serum supports the skin's natural collagen production, which is particularly important in the treatment of scars. By increasing collagen, the skin can become more elastic and firmer, which helps to reduce scars.
- Sterile Hyal Filler Serum (hyaluronic acid): Hyaluronic acid is known for its moisturising properties. This serum helps to intensely hydrate the skin and reduce the appearance of scars by plumping and smoothing the skin.
- Sterile Blood Skin Serum: Enriched with regenerative ingredients, this serum supports the healing and renewal of skin cells. It can help repair scar tissue and improve skin texture.
- Sterile Placent.5 Cocktail: A multifunctional serum containing various epidermal growth factors. It promotes skin renewal and improves elasticity, making it a good choice for the treatment of scars.
For the most effective treatment of scars, you should regularly incorporate these sterile serums into your microneedling routine. Each serum has specific benefits, so a combination can be particularly effective depending on your skin's needs.
Which scars can I treat with a dermaroller or dermapen?
Using dermarollers or dermapens not only to treat wrinkles but also to treat scars is a popular method in skincare. However, it is important to know which types of scars can be treated effectively.
Suitable scar types:
- Acne scars: Atrophic scars caused by acne in particular can be treated with a Dermaroller or Dermapen.
- Surgical scars: Flat, non-raised scars that occur after surgery can be improved.
- Burn scars: Light to moderate scars caused by burns can often be treated well.
- Stretch marks: Also known as striae, can be reduced by microneedling.
Types of scars not suitable:
- Hypertrophic scars: These raised scars should not be treated with a dermaroller or dermapen as this can exacerbate scarring.
- Scar keloids: Keloids tend to expand beyond the original wound area and should not be treated with microneedling.
Instructions for use:
- Consult a dermatologist to ensure microneedling is the right treatment for your scar type.
- Only use the microneedling device if it really makes sense and is safe.
Which treatment methods can you combine microneedling with to treat scars?
If you are looking for an effective method to treat scars, combining microneedling with fruit acid peels is an excellent choice. Both techniques complement each other and maximise the benefits for your skin. Here are the key points of why this combination is so effective:
Promote collagen production:
- Microneedling stimulates collagen production through small micro-injuries that encourage the skin to heal itself.
- Fruit acid peels (such as salicylic acid peel or mandelic acid peel) help to remove dead skin cells and accelerate skin renewal.
Improvement of the skin structure:
- By stimulating skin renewal and collagen production, skin becomes smoother and more even.
- Fruit acids further improve the texture of the skin by removing the top layer of skin and making room for new, healthy skin.
Optimisation of active ingredient absorption:
- After microneedling, the skin is particularly receptive to active ingredients.
- Fruit acid peels can be used before or after microneedling to improve the penetration and effectiveness of active ingredients.
Reduction of hyperpigmentation:
- Needling can help to reduce pigmentation disorders by promoting cell regeneration.
- Fruit acids have a lightening effect and help to reduce uneven pigmentation.
By combining microneedling and fruit acid peels, you can achieve a significant improvement in the skin's appearance and a reduction in scars. This synergistic treatment method is particularly effective and helps the skin to regenerate and renew itself.

What is the ideal needle length for microneedling scars?
When microneedling scars, choosing the right needle length is crucial for the success of the treatment and the safety of your skin. Here are the most important points:
- Superficial scars: Needle lengths of 0.5 mm are ideal. These gently penetrate the upper layers of the skin and stimulate collagen production. They improve the skin structure and promote regeneration without a high risk of skin damage.
- Deeper scars (acne scars): Longer needle lengths of 1.0 mm to 1.5 mm are required for this type of scar. They reach deeper layers of the skin and can therefore achieve better results with deeper scars.
As a general rule, the longer the needles, the more intensive and effective the treatment will be
Important tips:
- Always start with shorter needle lengths to get your skin used to the treatment.
- Longer needles should only be used with caution and after sufficient experience to minimise the risk of skin damage.
How does microneedling work on scars?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that helps to improve the appearance of scars. This process stimulates the skin to heal itself and produce collagen. Here's how microneedling works on scars:
- Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT):
The use of fine needles creates tiny injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the skin's natural healing process and promote the production of collagen and elastin, two important proteins that tighten and smooth the skin. - Stimulation of cell regeneration:
Micro-injuries signal skin cells to renew and repair themselves faster. This helps to improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of scars. - Optimisation of the skin structure:
With repeated treatments, microneedling can refine and smooth skin texture, which is particularly effective for acne scars, surgical scars and burn scars. - Increased absorption of skin care products:
The micro-channels created by microneedling allow for deeper penetration of skincare products. This can increase the effectiveness of serums and creams specifically designed to treat scars. - Minimally invasive and safe:
Needling is considered a safe and gentle approach to scar treatment because it is minimally invasive and the risk of side effects is low. It can be used on most skin types and tones.
Summary:
Microneedling works by inducing micro-injuries that promote collagen production and cell regeneration, optimising the appearance of scars. It provides a safe, effective way to improve skin texture and aids the absorption of skincare products, optimising overall results.
