Treatment Areas
• Acne scars (rolling scars, tethered scars)
• Depressed scars on cheeks, temples, jawline
• Selective areas with deep textural irregularities
Treatment Duration & Lasting Result
• 30–60 minutes depending on the number and depth of scars treated
• Immediate release of tethered scars, with continued improvement over 4–12 weeks as collagen remodels
• Results are long-lasting to permanent, especially for released scars
Discomfort Level
• Mild to moderate
• Local anesthesia is used to ensure comfort
• Most patients feel pressure rather than sharp pain
Downtime
• Mild to moderate swelling and bruising may occur
• Bruising typically lasts 5–10 days depending on skin type
• You can return to normal daily activities, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for a few days
Recommended Treatment Plan
• Usually 1–3 sessions, depending on scar severity
• Sessions are spaced 4–6 weeks apart
• Often combined with dermal filler, RF microneedling, or ablative laser for optimal results
