I had Micro Needling for scar areas. Micro needling is a procedure where you numb up for 40 to 45 minutes. Tiny little needles are put into your skin area of concern 3 different times at 3 different depths into your skin on the problem area. You can do micro needling by itself or you can SUPER SPEED your results by letting them take your blood before you begin and they call it PRP (google it). All the great benefits of your blood basically are applied to all the tiny openings from the needle holes that are made during the treatment. It helps stimulate your collagen and stimulate new growth basically of your skin therefore making your scars disappear. I'm trying to break it down in layman terms to easily understand. If you have any areas of scars on your body anyplace I recommend this as your treatment. It breaks up your scar tissue and I also recommend tiny massage circular motion for the next 3 days afterward at home when your sitting watching a movie for example. Do not use hot water on the area or tan or work out and break a sweat for the first 24 hours. That's it! That's all it takes. You will need 3 sessions to achieve your desired results! Lastly but CERTAINLY NOT LEAST!!! Ask for esthetician SANDY. Sandy will make you feel comfortable. She used a heated blanket over me during the treatment and made sure my head was comfortable with 2 pillows. She asked if I was doing ok thru out the treatment. Sandy has an upbeat personality and listens to any concerns you may have and answers them. Some people have the gift of making you feel very comfortable. That is Sandy. If you have areas that bother you and you don't want a Laser treatment please try micro Channeling aka micro needling. My reviews are always 100 percent unfiltered. They come straight from the heart and you will know exactly what I am saying when you do your treatment. Dr. Cho 's office is conveniently located off hwy I 45. There are short cuts depending on where you live. 99 toll is super fast. If you have any questions I'm always willing to answer them. Another plus is Dr. Cho's wife has a dermatology practice in the very same office.

I’ve been doing anything, since my 20’s to now late 30’s. From dermaroller, laser, microneedling, microneedling RF, dermabrasion, laser CO2, subsicion, PRP, none of them reducing my acne scars a lil bit, instead the dermaroller procedures 3x has made my scars worsen. I give up!

Not to mention tretinoin (now 0.1%) everynight since 2017 to now. Nothing has reducing my scars. Only diminishing the pigmentation, but the scars depth has no change :(

I agree, have had several treatments from two different ppl, with and without PRP. I've seen no difference.

You have to be consistent with them and be realistic about your expectations. I do my own micro-needling at home and I have had decent results. I’m alternating between Dermapen and TCA for atrophic scarring on my cheeks at the moment. In conjunction with micro-needling and peels, I also use vit. C serum, hyaluronic acid with growth factors, tretinoin 0.1% and copper peptides serum. I’ve done about 5 treatments so far. Not where I want to be but definitely looks better than before.

Wish they were closer. I live in Sugar land. Maybe worth the drive?
