I am a 50 yr old woman with the history of severe acne from the past and acne scars made unevenness on my skin.I am researching around to find the best treatment to this issue in addition to overall improvement of my skin at this age. One doctor recommends 3 treatments of Venus Viva and one doctor recommends 4 treatments of Microneedling + IPL. I have to choose one but don't know which one is the best option and if they are going to help me actually get rid of my scars and make my face smooth.
