Skin Needling May Be Next Big Thing In Acne Scar Treatment
Wednesday November 18, 2009
Acne scars can be notoriously tough to treat. The procedures aren't always as effective as we wish they could be. But a small study published in the Journal of Clinical and Experimental Dermatology has shown skin needling holds promise.
During a skin needling procedure, a small tool is inserted under the skin under topical anesthetic. Skin needling stimulates percutaneous collagen creation, and has been used to treat other types of scarring.
Study participants, all off which had rolling acne scars, underwent two treatment sessions spaced eight weeks apart. Researchers say significant improvement of scarring was seen.
Keep your eye on this procedure; it just may become the next big treatment for acne scarring.

Acne scars are so irritating! I already had to deal with the zits but now the scars too! Skin needling sounds like a really interesting new technique and thankfully, I have been finding a good amount of information about all sorts of ways to get rid of the scars. Most of them don’t even seem like they would be painful! Here is one website that really spells out all of the options.
Very useful information!
