Any hope with ProCell Therapies? I’ve had 4 microneedling treatments over a 6 month period.

Question

I’ve had PRP. I’ve also had up to 1.5mm treatments. Each was done by a reputable doctor. Sadly, my before and after photos show zero changes to my scarred pores. I have little faith in lasers due to so many negative reviews. Is it silly of me to think ProCell therapies would be any different?

Microneedling works very well for collagen production, fine lines, and scars. In my practice I use the patient's own stem cells and I believe this is much safer and accomplishes better results.

Microneedling is a proven, effective treatment for both acne scarring and fine wrinkle lines. However, it is even more effective in treating these conditions by enhancing penetration of topically applied serums and medications, not just by the action of needling by itself. Microneedling creates micro-channels in the skin, dramatically increasing penetration of topically applied products by up to 300% when compared with normal topical application.Because of this enhanced penetration, you must be very careful to only use serums that are specifically made for use with microneedling. The ProCell Therapies system combines microneedling with human growth-factor serums derived from human bone marrow stem cells. These serums have been shown to be both safe and effective, The growth factors in these serums are much more "anti-inflammatory" than those derived from other sources, including techniques of using the patient's own cells.In my office, we have used the ProCell Therapies system for many years and have seen excellent results in the treatment of acne scars and fine wrinkles. Recent studies have shown microneedling to be at least as effective, if not more effective, than laser treatments, without the risks of scarring or pigmentation changes, and at a much lower cost.
