Treating Acne Scars: Microneedling, Exosomes, and Sunekos
Treating Acne Scars: Microneedling, Exosomes, and Sunekos. Find out about it in our aesthetic clinic based in Esher, Surrey
Acne scars can linger long after breakouts have cleared, and Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT/BHRT) for many people they are a constant reminder of a difficult skin journey. At Revital Lab, one of the most common concerns we see in clinic is uneven texture left behind by acne.
The good news is that skin doesn’t have to stay that way. With the right combination of treatments, it is possible to soften scarring, improve texture, and restore confidence in your skin.
Below are three of the treatments we often recommend for acne scarring: microneedling, exosomes, and Sunekos. Each works differently, and in some cases the best results come from combining two or more approaches depending on the severity of scarring.
Why Acne Scars Form
Acne scars typically develop when inflammation disrupts the skin’s natural healing process. When too little collagen is produced during recovery, the skin heals unevenly, creating the dips or indentations many people are left with. Over time, scars can appear more noticeable as natural collagen levels decline.
This is why we recommend treatments that stimulate collagen and support healthy skin regeneration.
Microneedling: A Tried-and-True First Step
Microneedling is often the foundation of acne scar treatment. It’s a minimally invasive procedure where tiny, controlled micro-injuries are created across the skin. The body responds by switching into repair mode, producing collagen and elastin to support the healing of acne scarring.
For acne scars, this is particularly helpful because:
Patients often describe their skin as looking "healthier" post SkinPen microneedling.

Exosomes: The Next Generation of Skin Regeneration
Microneedling results can be impressive on their own, but pairing the treatment with exosomes promotes a faster healing response. Exosomes are tiny, naturally occurring vesicles that behave like messengers for the skin. Their job is to support cell repair, reduce inflammation, and encourage more efficient healing.
When applied after microneedling, exosomes:
Many patients find that scars soften faster with exosomes than with SkinPen microneedling alone. The combination is particularly suitable for people who are looking for accelerated results or who have more stubborn indentations.

Sunekos: A Gentle but Powerful Bio-Revitalising Treatment
Sunekos is a treatment that often surprises people. It’s not a filler, and it’s not a typical skin booster either. Instead, Sunekos uses a patented blend of amino acids and hyaluronic acid to stimulate fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin.
For acne scarring, Sunekos can help by:
It’s a great option for someone who wants improvement without adding volume to the skin, and it can be used alongside SkinPen microneedling for enhanced results.

How We Choose the Right Treatment
Every patient is different, and acne scars vary in depth, type, and distribution. Some people have only a few shallow marks, while others have mixed scarring across the cheeks or face. During a complimentary consultation, we assess the skin closely to determine which approach (or combination) will offer the maximum benefit.
Many patients see the best results from:
Treatment plans are usually spread over several weeks to allow the skin to respond and heal gradually.
What Kind of Results Can You Expect?
While no treatment can completely remove acne scars, most patients notice their skin becoming:
Even subtle improvements can make a huge difference to how someone feels about their complexion. Collagen takes time to build, so results often continue to develop for several months after the final session.
Final Thoughts
Acne scarring can be emotionally difficult, but it’s something we work with every day at Revital Lab, and there are effective ways to make a real improvement. Whether you’re considering SkinPen microneedling, exosomes, Sunekos, or a combination of them, the most important step is a personalised assessment. Once we understand your skin and your goals, we can create a plan that works with your skin’s biology, not against it.
