Had Interesting Chat With Doctor Re Needling

To start i'll say that I've tried many different treatments for my scars and none have made any real difference. I've also had four professional sessions of dermaroller which haven't made a difference. I've just had an intersting consulation with a doctor who told me that improve acne scarring with needling you need to dermaroll at home EVERY WEEK with a 1.5mm roller to make a difference and you will need to do it for at LEAST 9 months. He said in doing this you should see a 50% improvement. He told me that the reason that i hadn't seen results with needling in past was becasue i only had a few sessions which were three months apart and you need to do this every week to see results. I was under the impression that needling weekly was bad due to the skin being constantly inflamed but he assures me that this isn't the case and that it will do no harm. Interestingly on researching this Dr Des Fernandes who is one of the inventors of the dermaroller also recommends dermarolling on a weekly basis. Now my doctor had no financial incentive to recommend this to me, he didn't charge me for the consultation and he recommended that i buy the products online and do it myself rather to save money rather than have him do it. By way of testing this theory out i'm going to buy some needles and try single needlng two scars every week for six weeks, then i'm going to leave it for a month let any inflammation die down and assess any results.
