Acne Scar Improvement with RF Micro Needling
Scars from Acne are a tough reminder of a time you'd rather forget. Unfortunately, unlike acne which usually goes away on its own, scars don't.
The only way to improve acne scarring in a permanent way from the "inside out", is with new collagen production that your body makes.
The challenge lies in choosing the right procedure for your skin. Collagen creation can be activated in more than one way.
Can Microneedling Improve My Skin Tone?
