How To Treat Pockmarks

Microneedling

Microneedling involves using a set of small needles meant to break the skin in the pockmarks. The purpose is to create skin that looks more even because it produces more collagen. The puncture marks from the needles need time to heal, but each one allows the skin to produce more collagen as it heals. This is a helpful tool when individuals are looking to make their skin more even, but it doesn’t work as quickly as other options. This technique might require more than one appointment. It may also require spending weeks getting needling done to finally make any difference. Most patients don’t see very significant results from this technique for approximately one year. This is a problem for anyone looking for instant results. The overall change to an individual's skin takes a long time since collagen doesn’t simply fix the pockmarks right away. It takes patience, but the results are generally worthwhile.
