Alexandra Chambers, MD, PhD · Answer

Dermaroller can be used for scar treatment, but Derma-stamp can be a more precise microneedling device to treat scarring - after acne, hypertrophic or atrophic. In my experience depth of needles should be a specific for scar tissue remodelling. Use of Retinol containing preparations also enhances scar reorganization. If you feel your scars are getting worse just ask you physician for revision of your treatment protocol.

The
results of most procedures are significantly influenced by the expertise of the
person doing the treatment. In the right hands, medical micro-needling is an
excellent procedure for improving the appearance of most scars. In my office we
use the ProCell Therapies micro-needling machine for a more even pattern of needle
penetration in the skin. We also apply growth factor serums derived from
human stem cells to further enhance the results. For the best results it
typically takes a series of treatments, each one month apart, and then a
waiting time of several months for the full effect.
