Researchers found that for 25 patients, microneedling improved the long-term appearance of scars after various types of surgery — based on both patient and doctor ratings. But the sooner it was done, the better. Patients who underwent their first microneedling session within six or seven weeks of surgery had the best results. That, the researchers said, goes against the "conventional wisdom," which holds that microneedling should be delayed until scars are about a year old. Wed, 07 Sep 2022 04:00:00 Z
