On my first treatment i was told 0.75mm was used for under eye and 1.25 for the rest of my face. I had my second treatment done today and she used 1.0mm. Is this normal?
Answer: Depth is all depending on severity pf the scars Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

Answer: Improving Acne scars with microneedling/prp--add lasers, Cosmelan, subcision, fillers In . office 0.75-1.5 . is sufficient. Acne scars need a combination approach for improvement. For the best results, one should target the acne scar type. As everyone has a unique pattern of acne scarring, the best solution is a tailored one. Typically you need fillers like bellafill and sculptra for atrophic indented type scars with or without subcision. Subcision for depressed tethered scars. Vascular lasers like yellow laser, aerolase, excel V or IPL for redness or thick scars. And lasers such as fraxel, erbium, co2 or fractional radiofrequency like venus viva, skinfinity, intensif microneedling RF for textural issues and superficial scarring. Deep ice pick scars and narrow box car scars are best treated with TCA CROSS and punch excision. All lasers are combined with microneedling and PRP to get even better results and improve healing times. The majority of patients will have a collection of different scar types, and hence a tailored treatment plan is needed by an expert physician. It is never about the laser or product that gives the results, its about the expert behind the equipment that gets you the outcome. Scars cannot be cured and will need life-long treatments to maintain and build on the results. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Microneedling for acne scars I prefer to use the SkinPen by Bellus Medical when performing microneedling for acne scars. The SkinPen is the only microneedling device that is currently FDA cleared for acne scars. The device goes up to 2.5 mm deep and for acne scars I will usually go 2.0-2.5 mm deep.

Answer: Scars and microneedling. OMG. Firstly, one has to determine the scar type, then find the depth of attachments. Histology shows that for tethered scarring the attachment depth is in the mid fat layer. Dermal thickness varies. See a specialist to have EFFECTIVE scar revision treatments. Now, if you have very minor and early scarring, without assessing your scars, a guide of 1-1.5 mm is safe. If you want treatments that work, find out your scar type before going for a treatment.Microneedling has come a long way over the past few years and can help skin via several methods. Firstly it releases cytokines and growth factors in the epidermis and dermis- the top and bottom layers of your skin. This in turn remodels scars and the dermal layer of the skin. Additionally needles can break up scars themselves. This leads to new collagen formation.
