I have some pretty deep back acne scars from cysts. I was wondering if you can do microneedling on the back too?
Answer: Pair Microneedling RF with PRP for better results Acne scars are usually characterized within the subtypes of atrophic, hypertrophic, pigmented, or inflammatory. These subtypes of acne scars can be visually discerning in ambient light and can cause significant cosmetic concerns. Indented and atrophic scars require a combination approach to stimulate collagen and elastin, thereby smoothing contour and uneven skin. These are usually combined with lasers and depigmentation protocols to reduce inflammatory hyperpigmentation (Melarase AM and Melarase PM). Our Hidef protocols for acne scars include fillers such as Sculptra, Juvederm, Radiesse, and Restylane to improve deep acne scars; Vascular lasers to reduce inflammation and post-inflammatory redness and erythema; Fractional lasers to smooth contour and collagen; and Fractional RF to stimulate production of collagen within atrophic scars. Textural improvement and superficial scarring can be improved with Cosmelan peels, TCA Cross for ice-pick scars, deep chemical peels, and fractional CO2. We offer a personalized approach to your combination of scars and a formal evaluation with consultation is recommended to help you achieve your final results. Our plastic surgery office offers subcision and combination TCA Cross to help reduce deeply pitted scars. In terms of pigmentation and skin resonance, we recommend daily use of Melarase AM and Melarase PM coupled with Retinoid creams to achieve brilliant skin.

Answer: Improving Back Acne scars with lasers, microneedling/prp, Cosmelan, subcision, fillers Yes, I recommend microneedling for this, but a combination approach will give the most improvement. These types of scars need a combination of lmicroneedling with prp, lasers, Cosmelan, subcision and fillers. It will take a series of treatments and will need some treatments to maintain. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an acne scarring expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Microneedling for Back Acne Scars Absolutely! Microneedling is a safe and effective procedure that works well to treat acne scars all over the body, including the back! You will most likely need 3-6 treatments. I recommend coupling it with PRP for best results for acne scars, but you should also consult with your board certified dermatologist to be sure that this is the right treatment for you.
