The good news is that microneedling can help! With treatment, “we see diminishing [of] acne scarring,” says Dr. Dotta Thomas. “The way it diminishes and fills in those areas can be really effective.” More even pigmentation is another great benefit noted by Dr.
While the treatment is generally safe for all, Dr. Datta Thomas warns that if you tend to have very sensitive skin or a darker skin tone, you should heed a bit of caution in selecting an experienced provider and consider doing a test patch first, due to the risk of pigmentation related side effects. Despite being a non-invasive procedure, Dr. Rablach cautions that the treatment “still needs to be done by a medical professional to decrease the chance of complications like skin infection.” When microneedling is left to the professionals, your skin, and everything that comes into contact with your skin, will be clean and bacteria-free.
