Acne Scar Treatments in Portland, Oregon
At Cascade Medical Spa & Tattoo Removal Center, we offer advanced acne scar treatments combining PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) with microneedling, a cutting-edge solution for reducing and eliminating acne scars. This highly effective method not only addresses scarring but also provides total facial rejuvenation for smoother, healthier, and more youthful-looking skin.
How Does PRP with Microneedling Work?
Microneedling uses tiny needles to break down the structure of acne scars while stimulating the production of new collagen. Once the microneedling process is complete, PRP is applied to the treated area. PRP is rich in growth factors that promote local tissue repair, stimulate cell regeneration, and enhance collagen production. Additionally, PRP improves blood supply to the tissue, resulting in healthier skin tone and color.
The combined benefits of PRP and microneedling help:
- Stimulate new collagen formation for firmer skin
- Repair damaged tissue for smoother skin texture
- Even out skin tone and improve discoloration
- Increase the presence of stem cells for long-term skin rejuvenation
This dual therapy is an ideal solution for those looking to achieve clearer, smoother skin while addressing the underlying causes of acne scars.

I highly recommend…Amanda is very personable and will help create a beauty plan for your face. I was looking for a new med spa and so glad I found it. Thanks Cascade!!”

“PRP Microneedling for Acne scars: I had an amazing experience! I emailed two spas and Cascade was quick to respond and very informative about procedure. I also let them know that I had a budget and they were willing to work with me. I had the procedure done on Sunday and let me tell you Amanda is amazing! She made me feel calm and I am extremely scared of needles, she had soothing calm music playing and even gave me a comfy blanket which made me feel at home. I brought my friend and boyfriend for support and Amanda was talkative which made the whole process fun and quick! She let me know what she was doing every step of the way! I would recommend this place to anyone! I have already recommended this place to about 4 people who saw the video I posted on instagram! Excited for my next two sessions!”

“Amanda’s thorough attention to detail as she performed my micro needling w/PRP and injections was much less painful and stripy than the first treatment I had received from a nice, but also very expensive doctor in Tigard last month !!!”

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.
