It can work: Micro-needling is one of the safest "facial rejuvenation" procedures that one can undergo, and it can be helpful. But the old adage of "with great risk comes great reward" comes into play here. There is little risk but be realistic, don't expect miracles.

Yes...: Dermapen is able to reduce the appearance of most scars through collagen induction with tiny micro needles stamping into the epidermis and dermis to stimulate collagen production which repairs the damaged cells and grows healthier appearing skin. 3-5 treatments are optimal for most scars.
