Anyone ever try needling? I heard it works for scars & helps moisturizers & creams work better. So far everything I found seems to say it does help. Never heard of it before but it's been used for quite a while now. Supposedly it breaks up the scar tissue then new collegen grows when it heals & helps the appearance of the scar. Why don't doctors tell us more about it ? Anyone know?

Needling is a roller with small thin needles attached. They come in different sizes, depends how deep your scars are, says it's good for wrinkles too, plumps them up when the collegen fills in. You roll it over your scars or wrinkles in different angles, it breakes up scar tissue underneth. They say it also helps your moisturizers get into your skin instead of just laying on the top. You can buy them on ebay and other sites. Some have gone to tattoo artist to have it done too. They don't put the color in, just hit the scar with dry needles. People have said it has given them good results and is a lot less invasive than lasers. Not much down time and no pigment changes on your skin like lasers can do. I've been there! Going to ask my docor about it tomorrow to see what he thinks. I'll post and let ya know.
Asked my doctor, said he heard about it. Said he wasn't impressed with needles & that lasers do a better job. But he didn't say no it doesn't work. Bought one on ebay & I'll try it on a knee scar I've had for years, I'll post the results.
I was reading your blog. Have you tried any other procedures since you posted? Please share your results if you have?
My doctor recomended me to try Fraxel Restore. I had 4 treatments spaced a month apart. Sept to Dec. Now that it's Jan i am noticing an improvement, doc said it's from the first one since it takes 3 to 4 months to see full results so i won't see my final result til March. The scars don't seem so deep in some places now so i'm happy. In March i'll give you an update but so far so good. I've been using just gentle creams and moistureizer. 3 weeks after the last laser i strated using the micro cloths to wash my face. after seeing a woman with scars on you tube try the cloth her face improved a lot. Let me know if anyone has had improvements with their skin and from what procedure.
