Abstract:
Most acne scars are usually of different depth and the deeper ones are often resistant to most of the therapies targeting resurfacing of skin. The microdermabrasion is often useful for superficial scars only while macrodermabrasion and dermaplaning can only produce significant improvement in extensive and deep acne scars. Dermaroller microneedling is a partially invasive method which does not require general anesthesia or prolonged local anesthesia as compared to full depth dermabrasion which can only be done under general anesthesia and hospitalization. Five patients of median to full depth depressed acne scars who underwent Dermaroller treatment sessions at monthly intervals for 6 months are described. An improvement of 60-70% was observed in all patients. The dermal rollers can induce number of holes ranging between 300 and 400 holes per second and has even been available as over the counter product for personal use at home. Dermaroller microneedling has been less painful and has a shorter downtime period and were also much more effective in achieving visible results when compared to dermabrasion.
