Dermapen is a comparatively older method to treat acne scar. Fractional co2 and prp for acne scars can give better results. Please consult online for proper treatment advice or meet me at my clinic

Hello. Microneedling is one of the treatment options for acne scars. But not all scars respond. There are different types in acne scarring. I advise you to use a physical sunscreen like sunscros soft gel every 3 hours in the day time and post procedure to use ahaglowskin repair gel morning and night for 1 week. Regarding improvement it may take upto 1 year to see the result ever after stopping the treatment as collagen remodeling happens upto 1 year.
Next Steps
after 1 week of procedure a use hexilack acne scar serum at night. there are other options like classical dermaroller, Co 2 laser, MNRF etc.
Health Tips
use sunscreen regularly and avoid sun exposure post procedure. visit nearby dermatologist if skin concerns worsen
