When you lessen an atrophic scar with microneedling, does the collegen stay even or does the scar eventually sink in again?

Asked By:Versatile62162 in Jeannette, Pennsylvania

I was damaged/ablated by a laser procedure. It caused atropic scars from the ablation. If I do professional procedures to lessens them/put my skin back if that’s possible I’d it even a permanent solution? Or will the scars eventually just resurface due to collegian loss? They are pretty shallow, but my skin was so nice before. I really wish that someone on this platform was available to help guide me to a dr who spealizes in this. Will microneedling and or lasers be a permanent fix?
