I have scars (box, icepick, rolling) from previous acne & damage from previous treatments-. I've had micro needling, ipl laser hair removal, co2 (3 months ago), session nd yag qswitch, which i believe all made scarring worse, deeper and new indentations. I am feeling hopeless and about to have needling+prp as i've heard it helps with laser damage. i am also due for non ablative laser/subcision and filler in few months. i wanted to know if i can continue needling+prp after fillers injected?
Answer: Microneedling w/PRP Do not feel hopeless. Microneedling with PRP will help repair your skin and is absolutely safe to do before and after fillers. Hope this helps,

Answer: Microneedling and fillers Microneedling with PRP can be safely done after fillers as long as the swelling and bruising is gone. Typically you could have microneedling a week after fillers. Microneedling works very well for scars, but it will not help icepick acne scars. Thank you for your question.

Answer: Fillers, micro needling and PRP for acne scars. Yes, you can. Paper just about to be published on the effects of energy based RF micro needling post fillers. All safe .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. 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 surgical techniques such as subcision. Other surgical techniques that we use include punch elevation, surgical elevation, punch excision and traditional excision of focal scars. 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. In the majority of patients its finding the correct combination that give you best results, and everyone is unique! All the best, Dr Davin Lim. Acne scar dermatologist specialist.
