I am left with these deep acne scars all over my face for having acne during college. I haven’t had active acne since 2010 but I have these deep scars, skin discoloration, redness and large pores. The discoloration is covered well with a light foundation but the deep scars I could not hide. Wondering if Mircroneedling would make a difference. I am scarred of laser treatment. I’m not looking for perfection, just at least a great improvement. Thank you!
Answer: Can my deep acne scars be improved with microneedling? Microneedling is a terrific alternative to laser treatments in reducing the appearance of scars. The fine needles break down the scar tissue and force the skin cells to regenerate. We suggest having your skin evaluated by dermatologist or licensed medical aesthetician.

Answer: Microneedling RF paired with prp can help with deep scaring 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: Joannariza Hello Joannariza, Thats a very good question. Microneedling with PRP is always a great way to start. I would also recommend the Pixel (RF) Radio Frequency Fractional Resurfacing, its a combination of "non-ablative" and "ablative resurfacing" on ALL skin types. Stimulates collagen, and eliminates wrinkles, fine lines, tone and texture, skin tightening, scars, stretch marks, acne scars leaving your skin youthful and radiant. Best of Luck!
