Does microneedling help with post acne vascular red marks?

Yes, these marks can be improved with microneedling. I recommend combining with prp and lasers (ProYellow, Excel V, Vbeam) to get the most improvement. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Without seeing, very hard to tell. If they are early and red sometimes lasers such as the PDL or pulse dye-  VBeam or Excel or even laser genesis can help with both PIE and indentations, if caught early. Expect 3-5 sessions or more if in laser genesis mode. For the best results, one should target the acne scar type with ideal treatments. The web reference below will take you to a resource. I embedded all the videos in one page to help.

For example deep ice pick scars, and narrow box car scars can be treated with TCA CROSS peels, mixed scars, rolling, and atrophic scars treated with fractional devices such as Fraxel, fractional lasers, PRP and INFINI radiofrequency. Atrophic scars (depressions) can be treated with either fat grafts, or with HA dermal fillers. Tethered and anchored scars are best treated with surgery.

The majority of patients will have a collection of different scar types, and hence a tailored treatment METHOD will be best. Careful examination, especially under angled lighting with scar mapping will give you an understanding of what are the best options for your scars.

All the best,
