What are acne scars?
Acne scars form when deep breakouts damage the collagen beneath the skin, leaving depressions in the surface. They are different from the flat dark marks acne can leave behind.
How microneedling treats acne scars
Microneedling and RF microneedling prompt the skin to rebuild collagen beneath the scars, softening their depth. Most protocols are 3 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
