Is Microneedling effective on trauma scars or is it designed more for acne scars?

February 11, 2018
Asked By:K. Flip heck in Boston, MA

I have a wide, indented trauma scar on my face with poor tone and texture. Microneedling has been recommended but my research indicates that microneedling (with or without RF) is better suited to treat acne scars rather than trauma scars. Can I reap any benefits possibly from microneedling? Can it help the indentation/tone/texture? Is there any chance it can make the scar worse? Are the benefits from microneedling permanent?
