WORTH IT$1,700
This is my very first procedure.I have very bad acne scars. First the MA walked in and applied numbing cream. She then took pictures of my face of the before. After 15 mins, the RN walked in. She warned do not tan, & use spf. Also, stop my Retin A, as it was to much on my skin. She then removed the numbing cream, and followed it by alcohol. Then proceeded with the needle. First on forehead, No pain. She went in different motions for the needling for the face, up, down, horizontal & circular motions. Next, she used the needle under my eye, top cheek. Which I had to take short break because it was little painful (I got a more abrasive treatment). The chin and jaw, no pain whatsoever . It only took 15 mins. My skin feels like it's burning, and it's like rubber. It looks like a bad sunburn. She then gave me a certain type of lotion to use daily. I got a package of 4 treatments w/prp.I cannot say the results as this is my first day and need more treatments. I will contiue to update my profile of the results. Also, I had bought a package of 4 treatments with a prp.

You will see a difference at three weeks after more after third treatment

Note you will not start seeing full results from treatment for 3-5 months as the skin must have time to turn over.

Hello. I had my second procedure today. I noticed I bled so much on my first procedure, my skin felt so tight and I felt like I was burning. Overall my skin was raw. However, I encountered the opposite this time around. Did you notice something similar after first treatment?

Thanks for your honesty! I’m scared of the pain because I’m a big baby. But I hate my pores! You look fabulous!

Update! 4 days later
I see only a very minimal difference the first time. Still too early to say, I need 3 more treatments.
My face currently looks like really bad dry skin. But, feels like sandpaper.
My fiance says he doesn't notice my dry skin.
It wasn't until the 3rd day, when I first seen my peeling.
It started with my chin, and now expanded towards cheeks and forehead.
I had follow all orders: no ibuprofen ,stay at the sun, no tanning, no working out, ECT.
I used the serum she gave me each day and night.
I cannot wait till all treatments are finished!
My last treatment, I will have the prp.
My ance scars are my biggest insecurities. In my ealry 20's I was administered a antidepressant, it was a sample. My psychiatrist was suppose to to give blood test,but did not. Too late, I broke out in a major rash, and made my face worse!
I don't even recognize my own skin when I look in the mirror when I had recovered from the bad rash, on top of that I had acne scars.Fingers Cross this will work.
I cannot expect my face outcome to be perfect. But, I can improve it!
I went all over St Louis area. I also ask my dermatologist, she said she's got colleagues that do needles. She said theres so much out there they can take skin behind your ear to fill up a scar.
I went to many consultation, all over St Louis area. I found the microdermabrasion is little downtime, less expensive. Dr.Nayak also offers lasering, but more costly. More downtime and he said you get same results. 50/50 results of a microneedling. Finger cross this will work.

I have been micro needling at home for three years now my doctor wrote me a script for topical lidocaine. I'm 63 and people don't believe my age.. They think I'm in my 40's. It works

Try fibroblast plasma lifting treatments along with the micro-needling. It is a revolutionary new treatment that will lift the acne scars, usually in one to two treatments. Downtime is about a week to ten days however. It's a bit more aggressive than the micro-needling, but I perform the combination of treatments in my spa and the results are excellent.
It feels like sandpaper, it looks like really bad dry skin. I'm still in peeling process yet. By the 3rd day was when I seen the very first effects of the skin peeling. Really, I see a very slight difference, but of course I will need more treatments to see full results. Fingers crossed this will work for my bad acne scars.
