Acne and acne scars aren't just a cosmetic issue — they can seriously affect your confidence. The good news: with the right treatment plan, skin can visibly calm down and smooth out. At Damen Salon on Koševsko brdo, we work with problem skin through microneedling, phyto peel, deep cleansing, and AHA acids — always based on an analysis of your skin. This guide explains what actually helps, how many sessions you need, and shares experiences from our clients.
Which treatment for acne and acne scars?
There's no one-size-fits-all treatment — it's chosen based on whether you're dealing with active acne, scarring and texture, or both.
Microneedling — for acne scars, pores, and texture
The most effective treatment for acne scars. Tiny needles trigger the skin's natural renewal process, which gradually smooths scars, minimizes pores, and evens out texture. Results build up through a series of treatments (usually 4–6, spaced 3–4 weeks apart).
PDRN microneedling — enhanced regeneration
An upgrade to classic microneedling with the PDRN active ingredient for faster regeneration and skin calming. Suited to those who want a more pronounced effect on scars and overall skin quality.
Phyto peel — for evening out tone and glow
A botanical peel that removes the surface layer and kickstarts renewal; skin flakes lightly for a few days, then becomes smooth and even. Excellent for post-acne marks and a matte complexion.
Deep cleansing + AHA acids — for active acne and pores
Pore cleansing, blackhead removal, and AHA acids help with active acne, clogged pores, and blackheads, reducing inflammation and sebum production.

All prices are listed in the price list. We always start with a skin analysis and propose a plan — because with acne, the plan matters more than any single treatment.
How many sessions do you need?
- Active acne: calming begins after the first few cleansing + AHA sessions, along with a tailored home care routine.
- Acne scars: for a visible result, plan a series of microneedling treatments (4–6 treatments spaced 3–4 weeks apart). Scars don't disappear overnight — but they visibly smooth out over the course of the series.
- Maintenance: after the series, an occasional treatment maintains the result.
What to expect after treatment
- Skin may be red for a few hours after microneedling, and it may flake lightly over the following days — this is a normal part of renewal.
- Avoid sun exposure for the first few days, use SPF, and follow the recommended home care routine.
- For sensitive or inflamed skin, we always adjust the intensity and choice of treatment.
Our clients' experiences
Real results are built through a series of treatments and patience. Here are a few impressions we've received (anonymized, with permission):
"7 days after microneedling, my face feels fresh, my skin is soft, and the scars are noticeably reduced — I can't wait for my next treatment." — client, after microneedling
"For the first time since I've had this issue with my face, I've stopped using concealer to cover my scars. My skin texture is so much better." — client, after a series of treatments
"After the phyto peel my face flaked for a few days, and then — for the first time, I went to class without makeup." — client, after a phyto peel
"My pores have shrunk noticeably, sebum production has too, and my skin is even and glowing." — client, after a facial treatment
"The scars are almost unnoticeable, the redness has faded, and my complexion has evened out." — client, after multiple treatments
Results vary depending on skin condition, number of sessions, and home care.
