The breakouts may be over, but that doesn’t mean you’re ready to reveal your bare face yet. That’s because acne scars can make you look like you’re still suffering from acne, even if it’s been forever since you’ve had a breakout.
If your acne scars are making you feel self-conscious about your skin, take a look at the best way to fade those stubborn acne scars for good!
Fractional RF Microneedling for Acne Scars
Fractional RF microneedling is an innovative treatment that combines the power of radiofrequency energy with a microneedling device to help fade the appearance of acne scars (it can also be used to minimize the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines).
This specific device works by creating micro-channels within the skin’s surface, which helps to kick-start collagen production. What makes the device even more brilliant is that it also delivers radiofrequency energy to the subdermal layers within the micro-channels, which helps increase collagen and elastin production.
As a result, cellular turnover speeds up, resulting in new skin coming to the surface faster. And that means fewer acne scars over a shorter period of time!
How Many Treatments to See Results?
If you’re undergoing fractional RF microneedling for acne scars, you should expect to go through 3 to 6 procedures before noticing significant results. The amount of treatments you’ll need largely depends on the severity and age of the acne scars, as well as the type of scars. Please note that the fractional RF microneedling device is best used on pigmented scars; ice-pick scars may require additional or different treatments to produce the best results.
In order to maintain your fractional RF microneedling results, we recommend wearing sunscreen every day and maintaining your newly glowing skin with a gentle skincare regimen.
