Our client, in her late twenties, had lived with shallow scarring on her cheeks since her teens and wanted the texture to catch the light less. After a consultation with Dr Marlow and a month of skin preparation at home, she had three sessions of microneedling, six weeks apart.
The scarring is softer rather than gone, which is what we had talked about at the start. She keeps her results with daily sunscreen and a gentle retinoid at night.
