Does MNRF Really Work For Acne Scar Removal In Kolkata?

Microneedling radiofrequency (MNRF) is a revolutionary minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that rejuvenates skin texture with little recovery time. This treatment is a combination of radio waves and micro needles that gently warm up the deeper layers of the skin. It helps the skin create more collagen which reduces fine lines, acne scars, and open pores. This unique combination of micro-needling and radio frequency gives your skin a refreshed look, reduces the signs of aging, and offers you smoother and younger-looking skin.

What Causes Acne Scars?

Scars form when acne swells and damages the skin and swollen acne can break the walls of the pores. Small breakouts usually heal faster and leave little scars that are unnoticeable. However, if it is large, the infection can spread deep into the skin and damage nearby areas. This can cause scars that take longer time to fade. Thus, taking care of acne early can help you prevent scarring.

What Are The Types Of Acne Scars?

There are mainly two types of acne scars: one that is sunken and leaves small dents in the skin, and the other is a raised and bumpy one. 

  • Rolling scars: This type of scar gives your skin a bumpy and uneven look, usually on the lower cheeks and jawline.
  • Ice pick scars: These are small scars but leave deep tiny holes in the skin. The forehead and upper cheeks are the areas where you can see this kind of scar.
  • Boxcar scars: The name itself defines that these scars have box-like deep and sharper edges, often found on areas like lower cheeks and jaw where the skin is comparatively thicker. These scars are generally caused due to chickenpox or severe acne.
  • Hypertrophic scars: These are thick and raised scars that can sometimes be painful and itchy. They are common on the back, chest, shoulders, and jawline. 

What Is The Procedure Of MNRF For Acne Scar Removal in Kolkata?

  • They will clean the skin of the treatment area with alcohol to prevent any chances of infection.
  • To prevent any discomfort and pain, anesthesia is applied one hour before the procedure.
  • A micro-needling device is carefully and gently moved over your skin, to create very tiny holes.

2. MNRF Treatment

Radiofrequency micro-needling is a groundbreaking advanced technique that boosts the effect of traditional micro-needling treatment. By incorporating radiofrequency into the procedure, the skin produces more collagen and elastin that enhance the results by reducing treatment time and giving long-lasting results with fewer side effects.
