Answer: Multiple treatments for different scars. OK - first of all thanks for the excellent pictures, especially the first pic. as it gives Specialists a first hand view (or as close as it can get) to viewing your scars. I note you have ethnic skin type (possibly Asian), am I correct?ALWAYS find the best treatment for your scars, and not the other way around. Will needling work? Yes! Will it be better than a tailored program of TCA CROSS, subscison for anchored scars, fractional laser, then filler, probably not. If budget is the main constraint, I would go for a 2-2.5 mm Dermapen program- 5-6 treatments, this will help, as you have rolling scars. Make sure its skin needling that requires numbing cream, or it will not be as effective. Expect a 25-30% improvement at most. Realistically, your scars can be improved by 70-80% with directed scar treatments. All the bestRegardsDr Davin LimLaser specialist, Acne scar specialistDermatologistacnespecialists.com.au
