Microneedling with Deep Acne Scars.jpg — If you’re struggling with **deep acne scars**, you’ve likely heard about **microneedling** **and** **chemical peels**. But which one is actually **better for your skin type**? Let’s compare.

Microneedling for Deep Acne Scars

✔ Creates micro-injuries to stimulate collagen
✔ Best for rolling scars and boxcar scars
✔ Can be combined with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) for faster healing

Chemical Peels for Acne Scars

✔ Uses exfoliating acids to resurface skin
✔ Best for hyperpigmentation and shallow scars
✔ Ideal for evening out skin tone

Which One Should You Choose?

✔ For deep, pitted scars → Microneedling is best
✔ For discoloration & uneven tone → Chemical peels work better
✔ For best results → A combination of both treatments

💡 Pro Tip: If you still have active acne, treat breakouts first before starting microneedling or peels.
