Is micro-needling permanent? I have been researching and I am getting mixed answers.

December 18, 2017
Asked By:Bellebaby10 in Thousand Oaks, CA

So I have posted photos about my acne scars in previous questions. I am leaning towards the idea of micro needling and PRP because it seems the most ideal for my situation because it’s inexpensive. I am concerned if I have the full 4-6 sessions done that the effects will not last. I understand the skin ages, but does that mean all the scars I had before come back as if the procedure had never been done?
