Hi all, My face is peppered in these tiny ice pick scars. Is TCA cross likely to help fill them in or only make the problem worse? If not, what treatments would this respond to? What lasers might be the most efficacious (fraxel, picosure)? I have ethnic skin (multiracial). Lastly, with today's technology, how much can I expect this to improve percentage-wise? 50%? 80%? Thanks a lot.
I have raised/papular acne scars for 5 years. I am considering getting microneedling to help flatten them which. Microneedling was suggested by a dermotalogist instead of laser because of color of my skin. I have tried steroid injections in the past and have had no luck with it. On with my main questions, will microneedling will the bumps be more raised because microneeding promotes collagen? I dont want to make the scars worse. I dont know what else to try for my type of scars.
Its been more then 2 month after my home micro-needling treatment. My skin look worse, so dull, more pigmentation and fine lines around the mouth. What should I do? What treatment should I do? I have very sensitive skin . Have I ruined my skin?
Hello, I had an excision done to remove a chicken pox scar about 9 months ago. However, I think my stitches opened so my scar didnt heal properly. I went to a skin specialist and she suggested that I do micro needling to minimize the scar. I dont want to re-excise my scar, I think it would be pointless to go under the knife for something so small. Would it be safe to do micro needling on an excision or do any of you think it would make the scar worse?
Hello doctors! After my first microneedling session earlier this year, I have been in lust! To date, they've been pretty good until - now. What was planned to be my final session for some time, has my skin in the worst condition. I had a microneedling session that was by far questionable. I kept asking if the pen was even touching my face. I followed all the same post op steps. What do you think happened?
I had my first microneedling session about 8 weeks ago with a technician who uses SkinPen. While I feel like it did work somewhat on my face - particularly my eyes area & cheeks - it seems to have made my neck look much worse. In lost elasticity in my neck. So my neck actually looks worse now. Why ??
I usually do micro dermabrasion On my face since I have some Shallow pits and scarring from acne and some hyperpigmentation. My aesthetician recommended for my next visit to do micro needling. My skin is very sensitive and very dry naturally, so I am afraid to have this done. In my country we do not use the PRP they basically inject vitamins and then do the micro needling. Is the MIcroneedling safe to do?
I have a wide, indented trauma scar on my face with poor tone and texture. Microneedling has been recommended but my research indicates that microneedling (with or without RF) is better suited to treat acne scars rather than trauma scars. Can I reap any benefits possibly from microneedling? Can it help the indentation/tone/texture? Is there any chance it can make the scar worse? Are the benefits from microneedling permanent?
