Recently, the Wall Street Journal published an article about an on trend treatment that claims to minimize acne treatment for scars and wrinkles. It's called mico-needling and the device uses tiny needle pricks to stimulate the growth of collagen, which is one of the body�s natural healing processes.
Dr. Simon Ourian of Epione in Beverly Hills said, �I�ve done some preliminary investigation of micro-needling and I�m not yet convinced of its efficacy. We treat wrinkles and acne scars every day and I find that laser resurfacing combined with dermal filler injections offers better results.�
Experts do want to warn consumers that even though some micro-needling devices are available for purchase to the general public there are risks of scarring and infection. Dr. Ourian also stated, �The last thing anyone would want is to injure already damaged skin."
