What to Expect During the Procedure?
The dermatologist starts the procedure by numbing the area with the help of numbing cream or by injecting local anaesthesia. He then cleanses the treatment site and disinfects the area. He then uses a needle and the size of the needle depends on the type of acne scar. The skin care expert will then use the needle to remove the scar fibres which are responsible for the scars. The needle also creates a new wound in the skin due to which the healing process will boost up and new skin will form after a few weeks. After completing the procedure he applies pressure to minimise the swelling and bleeding. He may apply antibiotic cream to encourage the healing process.
