Thankfully, a recent advance in cosmetic aesthetics might be the solution you’re looking for: Microneedling with Radiofrequency for Acne Scars. Here’s all you need to know about how to get rid of acne scarring with Microneedling and Radiofrequency:
What RF Microneedling Benefits Can I Expect?
In general, RF Microneedling is excellent for treating common textural changes to the skin, including:
- Minimizing pore size
- Diminishing stretch marks
- Encouraging a youthful, smooth and even appearance
- Fading the results of trauma to the skin, including acne scarring, burns or other scarring
It does this by reaching multiple layers of the skin, in order to induce collagen and elastin production — essentially, boosting the body’s own natural healing process from the inside out.
What Causes Acne Scars?
Before we get to the superior results of RF Microneedling for Acne Scars, let’s talk about what causes acne scarring to begin with. Basically, scarring occurs when the healing process following a blemish has gone haywire. When not enough tissue is produced to fill an acne mark, a Depressed Acne Scar happens (also called an Atrophic Acne Scar, Icepick Scar, Boxcar Scar or Pock Mark). When too much tissue is produced, it causes a Raised Acne Scar (aka Hypertrophic Acne Scar or Keloid Scar).
Why Choose Microneedling with Radiofrequency for Acne Scars?
In essence, Microneedling with Radiofrequency works to replace the scar tissue with healthy tissue. And it does so with a distinct advantage over other commonly used treatments for Acne Scarring. The reason is that a true synergy occurs when Microneedling and Radiofrequency are put together. The Microneedling device creates discrete channels at controlled depths along the surface of the skin. As a result, the fractional RF energy is conducted to the treatment area in a highly targeted way. In a nutshell, the Microneedling channels create specific thermal zones at accurate depths in the skin. What this means for you is that RF Microneedling is highly effective at treating acne scars, because it:
- Maximizes collagen and elastin production, while
- Minimizing injury to the surface of the skin that’s typical of other acne scar treatments, particularly ablative laser treatments.
