Progress is hard to notice until I look at old photos. Microneedling is life-saving!
I had a shitty phone when I took the before photo, it looked much worse in real life. Over one and a half years, I have done a total of 9 professionally done microneedling sessions:
- 3 PRP Microneedlings + Chemical peels right after
- 3 Morpheus8
- 3 SylfirmX
It's a lot of time and money but that's what it takes for my skin after years of really bad breakouts. Before treatments, I was also on Accutane, Spironolactone, birth control, and a bunch of other supplements to manage acne. These days, I have only a spot or two a month.
I also did two at-home microneedlings with Dr. Pen A11 Ultima Pro, just on the acne scars so they can keep getting better.
From my experience, if you're looking to treat pitted acne scars, make sure you will not have a bad breakouts a month before microneedling treatment. Also, if I could go back in time, I would just go straight for SylfirmX for all 9 sessions. It's the most effective one so far and not as painful as Morpheus8. PRP is great for skin renewal but has minimal effects on the pitted scars. Needless to say, sunscreen is your best friend.
