Asked By:maguino in Santiago, MN

I'm 35 year old female, I've battled with acne scars single my early 20's. I recently performed 4 sessions of microneedling with a 1mm dermaroller and dermastamp in some boxcars in the temple area but since the 2nd I've noticed widening of the scars. I'm really worry if this is gonna be permanent, so my question is, is what happened to me a frequent occurrence and if so should I continuing microneedling?
