Hello, Tatoo needs sterile environment and the depth of ink must be standardized to make it long lasting. Self tatooing is neither safe nor effective. The scarring that is produced after infection is difficult to treat. Suggest you not to try yourself. Consult a dermatologist and have the wound examined.

Microdermabrasion is a quick and painless treatment that accelerates the rate at which dead skin is exfoliated, and jump-starts the proliferation of new skin cells. Your dermatologist may recommend a series of microdermabrasion treatments, which can treat hyperpigmentation, sun-damaged spots, dryness, fine lines and wrinkles and even minor acne scars. Microdermabrasion can be coupled with just about any other type of skin treatment and is usually recommended to be done every few weeks to every t...more

Hello Dr. I have ice pick scars and boxcar scars on my face like nose, cheeks, chin, and forehead and my skin is very sensitive, I am afraid of using creams and laser treatments. So instead of taking laser, fractional/fraxel laser, fractional co2, TCA chemical peeling, IPL treatment can I go for microneedling/dermapen or can I use dermaroller for ice pick scars and boxcar scars? Will needling and dermaroller helps in preventing scars? Will scars do completely disappear and do they produce new collagen and improve skin texture? And if I go with needling/derma roller what kind of cream do I need to apply after I use roller or needling? Will they have any side effects? If you advice me to go with needling/derma roller, suggest me best dermaroller? And please help me and suggest the best treatment process. Thank you.

Good evening,
Acne must be treated before acne scars are treated to prevent formation of new scars.
You will need to be examined to start a proper treatment which is made up of antibiotics to reduce the infection.
Once acne stops occurring various acne scar treatments can be started such as derma pen, subcision or fraction CO2 laser to remove upto 80% appearance of scars.
Please do not hesitate to contact me for further queries.
