There is not a set rule to which treatment should be done first. I am sure your physician can recommend the best for your particular concern.Microneedling specially when combined with PRP works very well for acne scars, lines, and wrinkles.When you add laser to the microneedling you will get even better results. Keep in mind that laser will take care of broken capillaries as well as collagen stimulation. Microneedling will not help with capillaries and rosacea. Thank you for your question.
Both microneedling and lasers are great options for acne scarring and wrinkles. The choice will be based on your skin type and type of scarring and wrinkles. I recommend you set up a cosmetic consultation with a board certified dermatologist for proper evaluation. Good luck!
Acne scar revision is a specialised field. 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. Its not about laser or miconeedling, its all about what is the best procedure for your type of acne scars. 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, Dr Davin Lim.

Hello and thanks for your question. We offer both micro needling and laser treatments for acne, large pores, scars etc. The practice has found that our Venus Versa Viva treatment is very effective. The Viva gets a deeper penetration than typical micro needling. However, with micro needling, I have more options. I can add growth factors, vitamin C etc, while micro needling. So each has its own advantages. I would also recommend that you use sunscreen on a daily basis as part of your skincare regiment. If you are willing to invest the funds into these types of procedures, then you should be willing to protect your investment. Hope this helps.
If you are still seeing positive results from your microneedling, by all means, keep going! Microneedling has been safely used in a wide variety of patient-types including patients of all skin-types. We recommend your treatments be 4 weeks a part.
Realistically if you have receive a small amount of UV it will not affect your microneedling PRP procedure 3 days after. However because your skin pigment cells maybe 'active' after trauma, prolonged exposure is not recommended, especially if energy based microneedling was used. Follow the...
Thanks for your question. Everyone wants to know what's the best _______? Sorry, there isn't one answer for any question that is right for everyone. For microneedling, the most important question is how much experience the technician has and are they supervised by a physician? Have you con...
