Can my doctor use 2.5mm dermapen for acne scars every two weeks ?

Question

the doctor said that i need 6 sessions, each every two weeks but i read in many websites that such depth need minimum 4 weeks

Chad Pfefer, MD · Answer

If you've never had Dermapen before I generally recommend starting off at a slightly shallower depth and working deeper in subsequent sessions.  Many providers(I don't know what the standard is in France) don't use topical anesthetics, but this will definitely decrease the discomfort when microneedling at deeper settings.  We generally recommend waiting 4-6 weeks for subsequent treatments and I would suspect that you would not see a benefit in treating at such a close interval as 2 weeks.

You will not gain much at 2 week intervals. As you know collagen takes 2-4 months to develop, and scars 6 months or more to remodel. Personally, I would stick with 4 weeks.Remember, always treat the scar type and not just use a method eg. Laser etc.. all the best, Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
