Microneedle
With cleanliness in mind microneedle is safe. It is particularly effective for large shallow scars, and evening out skin tones. Procedure needs to be done under sterile condition. For this problem a longer needle of at least 1mm is required. Recovery time is around 5 days.*
Fractional CO2 Lasers
Fractional CO2 is an ablative procedure, which means it causes micro-breakage in the skin. Strict cleanliness after procedure for several days is required. Recovery time from 5 days to 3 weeks.*
Depending on the severity of scars and discoloration problem, alternate treatment between Microneedle and Fractional CO2 or a single treatment modality may be required. Usual treatment course needs 4 to 12 times, with 3-6 weeks in between.*
