Hello; I'm suffering from acnes about 10 years, going to doctor monthly for 4 years, having daily medicines and creams, but nothing working, when I stop using medicines acnes will come back, having medicines & still acnes appearing daily strongly. I have a very ugly skin with dark spots, scars, big holes and acnes. My question is can I try micro-needling treatment for scars and holes while there still is acne n pimples in my face or shall I wait until acnes go away n then go for micro-needling?
Answer: Venus Viva microneedling paired with PRP can be beneficial for acne prone skin Our office has many different treatments for acne scars depending on the depth of atrophy or hypertrophy. Acne scars require a combination approach using our HI DEF protocol which uses a combination of lasers, topical scar modulation, and RF treatments to pixelate scars, improve contour, reduce hyperpigmentation, and improve the visibility of the scars so that they are no longer visible in ambient light. Everyone has a unique pattern of acne scarring and we employ our HIDEF technique to improve texture, color, contour, and topography. We often use a combination of treatments that begin with a careful examination to examine the micro texturing of the acne scars. Atrophic acne scars and indented acne scars can benefit from injectable fillers such as Radiesse, Sculptra, and Restylane with or without subcision to remove tethered scars and atrophic depression. Hyper-redness in scars can be improved with V beam laser, Excel V, BBL, IPL, and Venus RF to improve the redness and reduce the visibility of deep scars. Fractional Thulium laser and clear & brilliant can also reduce the inflammation and redness of the scar when combined with topical therapy. Fractional lasers such as Fraxel, erbium, and CO2 laser can be combined with radio frequency and also fractional RF to improve textual issues and microtopography. Subcision and TCA cross are also used for deep ice pick scars and narrow valley scars in order to improve the micro texture. Above all, our combination approach with our clinical nurses and board-certified plastic surgeons can improve the quality of your skin by using at home Melarase creams combined with PRP treatments in our office to improve your skin quality and tone. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an experienced team of experts in order to reduce your acne scarring.

I would recommend a series of microneedling to heal active acne lesions and smooth out acne scarring and correct unwanted pigmentation from post acne lesions or sun damage. Consult with a dermatologist or medical aesthetician to see what they recommend. best of luck to you.

Answer: Micro needling for active acne prone skin Hello and thank you for this question. I love talking about micro needling with our very pure growth factor serum that is so anti-inflammatory, we have seen active pustular and cystic acne up to 50% better in the first 24 hours! Not all micro needling is the same. The device (pen, manual stamp etc) is one part and that is for collagen induction. This means that when the trauma of the needles microscopically injures the skin, it stimulates collagen and elastin to be made which is the "repair" process. This can take up to several months to see after a treatment. This is what treats lines, wrinkles and scars for a smoother skin surface. The other part of the treatment with more immediate results is adding human growth factor serum to the skin surface to be needled. Think of this process as aerating the lawn of your skin and then adding fertilizer. Active acne is the most dramatic and quick effect because there is so much inflammation and redness, there is usually a great amount of change that can occur in a short time. It is wonderful for acne but not all micro needling is done the same and not everyone uses the fertilizer. Our serum is so pure that it can be used on an open wound. Hope this helps!
