Acne Scar Treatments in Portland, Oregon
If acne scars have overstayed their welcome, you’re not alone — and you’re definitely not stuck with them. At Cascade Medical Spa in Portland, we specialize in advanced acne scar treatments that combine microneedling and PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) to smooth texture, fade discoloration, and restore confidence. It’s more than a fix — it’s full-face rejuvenation, powered by your body’s natural healing response.
How Microneedling with PRP Fades Acne Scars (and Brings Your Skin Back to Life)
Microneedling works by creating tiny micro-injuries in the skin, which triggers your body’s natural healing process and boosts collagen production — exactly what scarred skin needs. We take it one step further by adding PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) — a golden serum derived from your own blood, rich in growth factors that speed up cell turnover, repair tissue, and restore healthy tone and texture.
Together, microneedling + PRP work to:
-
Break down scar tissue and smooth uneven texture
-
Stimulate collagen for firmer, more elastic skin
-
Fade post-acne discoloration
-
Support long-term skin rejuvenation with stem cell activity
This powerful combo doesn’t just treat the surface — it revives your skin from within.
Different Types Of Acne Scars Explained
Ice Pick
Common- Ice pick scars are deep pits that are usually less than 2mm across. They extend into the skin, giving the skin an appearance of having been punctured by an ice pick.

Hypertropic
Acne Scars – PRP Microneedling in Portland Oregon
Less Common- Hypertrophic scars are raised and lumpy. They tend to appear on the back and chest, but can also appear on the neck and face. Often the result of severe acne (cysts or nodules), they generally stay within the boundary of the original wound, and may decrease in size over time.
Why Cascade’s Acne Scar Treatments Stand Out
We don’t just offer Microneedling with PRP — we specialize in it. Our team has performed hundreds of PRP facials and acne scar treatments on real Portland clients across all skin types. There are no one-size-fits-all packages here — every plan is customized based on your skin history, your goals, and how your body responds to collagen induction.

How Does PRP For Acne Scars Work?
A series of 3 or 4 treatments is recommended. Here is some good results after 3 sessions from some lovely ladies who happily have been getting treatments at Cascade, one of whom does not have to wear makeup anymore 🙂

How Many Acne Scar Treatments Will You Need?
Acne scar removal isn’t one-and-done. Most clients need a series of 3–6 treatments for lasting results — but that number depends on the depth of your scars, your skin type, and how well your body responds to collagen stimulation.
Some people see improvement after just one session, while deeper scars may need a little more time and love. At Cascade Medical Spa in Portland, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan to help you reach your goals as efficiently (and affordably) as possible.
Pre-Treatment: Prepare your skin by avoiding sun exposure, harsh skincare products, and certain medications that could increase sensitivity. Arrive with clean skin, free from makeup or lotions, for the best results. Hydrated skin will also enhance the treatment’s effectiveness.
Post-Treatment: After microneedling, avoid touching your face and direct sun exposure. Use gentle skincare products to soothe the skin and keep it hydrated. Mild redness and swelling are normal, but these should subside within a few days.
