Crepey skin and acne scars: RF microneedling and picosecond laser

Thin, crinkled or crepey skin and acne scars both come down to the skin's structure and collagen. Two technologies we use to improve texture are RF microneedling and picosecond laser.

The two technologies

• RF microneedling combines tiny needles with radiofrequency energy to stimulate the skin's own collagen
• Picosecond laser uses extremely short pulses of light and is used for texture, scars and pigmentation
• Your dermatologist may use one of them or combine them with other treatments, depending on your skin

Planning your care

How many sessions you need depends on the type and depth of the concern, and improvement is gradual. A consultation is the best way to find out which option suits your skin. Results vary from person to person.
