I'm 29 - Do I need something as intense as RF microneedling at this point in my life?

Asked By:AKJ157 in Ft. Liberty, North Carolina

I am 29 and I am trying to be proactive about taking care of my skin. My goal is to "age gracefully." I have some acne scarring and *very* subtle fine lines. I get monthly facials to exfoliate and relax. I was recently recommended to try RF microneedling with PRP to address scarring. I am TERRIFIED of damaging my skin (if I pluck a peach fuzz hair out of my cheek, a little white head will form). Would I benefit as much from continuing regular facials and using a quality Vit C and retinol?
