At The K Spa in Buckhead, we offer advanced microneedling treatments tailored to help Atlanta-area clients minimize the appearance of acne scars and restore smoother, more radiant skin. Led by dual board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Benjamin C. Stong, our physician-directed med spa delivers medically grounded expertise with spa-level comfort and care.
Relaxed, replenished and confident in my new skin! I’v always had issues with old acne scars as well as these small annoying bumps i just could NOT get rid of, so a friend of mine recommended the K Spa! Best recommendation thus far. I had a very relaxing facial as well as Laser Genesis and Micro-Needling combo with Carli. She really took her time to explained everything and not just try to up-sell me on services and product. I purchased some skin care items from the Kalos line to brighten and even my skin tone and it is the only thing i find actually works. The prices are reasonable and they offer packages for treatments which makes perfect sense! Trust me..i am a hard one to please with my face and I will never go to any place else!
Microneedling for Acne Scars: How It Works
Microneedling is a controlled skin rejuvenation process designed to harness your body’s natural healing ability. Using a precision medical device, we create thousands of microchannels across the treatment area. This prompts a cascade of collagen and elastin production — proteins essential to firm, healthy skin.
Our technique at The K Spa also includes the application of advanced stem cell-derived cytokines during and after the procedure. These healing agents:
- Accelerate tissue regeneration
- Reduce inflammation and downtime
- Improve scar softening and texture refinement
Microneedling is especially effective for:
- Rolling or boxcar acne scars
- Textural irregularities
- Skin that has plateaued after other treatments like peels or lasers
What to Expect at Your Atlanta Microneedling Appointment
From your first visit, we prioritize education and comfort. Here’s what a typical visit to The K Spa includes:
- Comprehensive consultation with our expert team to evaluate skin history, goals, and contraindications
- Topical numbing to maximize comfort during treatment
- Microneedling procedure using sterile, medical-grade devices under physician supervision
- Stem cell cytokine application to promote deeper healing and more uniform skin regeneration
- Aftercare instructions and follow-up support customized for your skin needs and lifestyle
Most Atlanta-area patients benefit from a series of 3–4 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Improvements in skin smoothness, brightness, and firmness typically begin after the first session and build with each visit.
