I've had treatments with microneedling and PRP for scars but no visible results were shown. How many treatments are usually needed till results are visible? I'm not pro lasers since most people have had thinner skin as a result. Therefore, I like to stick to microneedling PRP and subcision .

Answer: Acne scars with Microneedling It really depends on the severity of your scarring to recommend exactly how many treatments are needed. For severe scarring, I usually recommend a minimum of 6 treatments with the microneedling pen in conjunction with PRP. I highly recommend the Morpheus8 for my patients with severe scarring. It's a radiofrequency based microneedling treatment that I have seen great results with in as little as 3 treatments, which are spaced 4-6 weeks apart. If you still suffer from active acne, I would advise using a personalized topical skin care regimen in between for maximum result.

Answer: Acne Scarring / Hyperpigmentation -- Microneedling RF, Aerolase, Laser Genesis, Microneedling/PRP, Cosmelan, Peels Acne scars need a combination approach for long-term improvement. Everyone has a unique pattern of acne scarring, and most people have various types of scars, so we create a tailored treatment plan for each patient. We often use:- Injectable fillers like Bellafill and Sculptra (with or without subcision) for atrophic, indented scars.- Subcision for depressed, tethered scars.- Vascular lasers like Yellow laser, Aerolase, excel V, or IPL for redness or thick acne scars.- Lasers such as Fraxel, Erbium, CO2 or fractional radiofrequency (Venus Viva, Skinfinity, Intensif microneedling RF) for textural issues and superficial scarring.- TCA CROSS and punch excision for deep ice pick scars and narrow box car scars.
