I have acne prone skin I’m on spironolactone 25mg a day . They recommend hylauoronic acid and vitamin C after microneedling I use Kiehl’s hyluoronic acid and vitamin C 12% on daily basis and it doesn’t irritate my skin. Is it safe to use it after the treatment or shall I apply nothing regarding my sensitive skin I’m afraid to breakout !
Answer: Acne Scarring -- Needs Combination of Subcision; Fillers Like Bellafill; Lasers Like Fraxel/Erbium/Co2; TCA cross; Intensif RF Acne scar treatment needs a combination approach for improvement. For the best results, one should target the acne scar type. As everyone has a unique pattern of acne scarring, the best solution is a tailored one. Typically you need fillers like bellafill and sculptra for atrophic indented type scars with or without subcision. Subcision for depressed tethered scars. Vascular lasers like yellow laser, aerolase, excel V or IPL for redness or thick scars. And lasers such as fraxel, erbium, co2 or fractional radiofrequency like venus viva, skinfinity, intensif microneedling RF for textural issues and superficial scarring. Deep ice pick scars and narrow box car scars are best treated with TCA CROSS and punch excision. All lasers are combined with microneedling and PRP to get even better results and improve healing times. The majority of patients will have a collection of different scar types, and hence a tailored treatment plan is needed by an expert physician. It is never about the laser or product that gives the results, its about the expert behind the equipment that gets you the outcome. Scars cannot be cured and will need life-long treatments to maintain and build on the results. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: What to use on your skin after microneedling Hello and thank you for this question. The best microneedling procedures provide an incredible human skin cell growth factor serum as part of the procedure and my treatments also provide a take home serum that lasts up to a couple months for continuing the repair process and adding back great texture, glow and conditioning of the skin. It does not sound like you had your microneedling with that type of product. I have been needling for many years with an amazing serum that is by a company called Omnibioceutical Innovations in Phoenix, AZ. Their serum is by far the best microneedling accompaniment you can get. Many of my acne patients are 30-40% better in the first day after the procedure. We have done well over 1000 microneedling procedures and everyone responds!

Answer: Skincare after microneedling I would not apply anything to your skin for the first 24 hours if possible. After this, I would recommend a gentle cleanser and post procedure product like Alastin's Regenerating Skin Nectar for 1-2 weeks. After the skin has healed completely, you can return to your normal skincare routine.

Answer: Treat the scar type, not just Microneedle for acne scars. For acne scarring, refer to the acne scars section in this forum. More specific answers can be given. Always treat the scar type with a method, and never try to fit a method to treat all scar types!Microneedling has come a long way over the past few years and can help skin via several methods. Firstly it releases cytokines and growth factors in the epidermis and dermis- the top and bottom layers of your skin. This in turn remodels scars and the dermal layer of the skin. Additionally needles can break up scars themselves. This leads to new collagen formation, and in practice can provide limited skin rejuvenation.
