Answer: Improving Acne scars with microneedling--add prp, lasers, Cosmelan, subcision, fillers A combination approach will give the most improvement. These types of scars need a combination of microneedling/prp with lasers, Cosmelan, subcision and fillers. It may take a series of treatments and may need some treatments to maintain. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an acne scarring expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Dermapen for acne scars You can see improvement with acne scars with Microneedling with a pen like the Dermapen and also with Microneedling/RF combination like Vivace. In my office we have seen the best improvement when we use PRP with the procedures. A proper skin care regimen at home is also necessary using topicals that support collagen stimulation and fade hyperpigmenation.

Answer: Dermapen vs RF microneedling Dermapen is a reasonable opening level treatment for acne scarring. It all depends on your scar types, down time and obviously costs. RF microneedling is basically what I describe as "dermapen on steroids" and the technology, especially with the industry leading devices such as Endymed Intensif or Lutronic Infini can provide significantly greater results if you are able to afford slightly more downtime. Seek an experienced practitioner. Best wishes, Shobhan.

Answer: Red spots best treated with vascular lasers and not Dermapen. Acne scar revision is a sub-specialised field. For the best results, one should target the acne scar type with ideal treatments and not just one device. The web reference below will take you to a resource to help you understand acne scar revision at a specialist level. I embedded all the videos in one page to help. If you have PIE or red spots, this is best treated with vascular lasers, or even simple IPL. Derma pen or microneedling is best for mixed scars, rolling scars, tethered and atrophic scar types.
