What is Microneedling for Acne Scars?

Microneedling for acne scars creates thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin to stimulate collagen and smooth scars. Radiofrequency microneedling (such as Potenza) adds heat at depth for stronger remodelling. At Louave in Cheongdam, Gangnam, Seoul, a dermatologist sets needle depth and energy for your scar type.
