Abstract

Acne vulgaris is an chronic inflammatory disorder commonly seen in adolescents and is often self limiting. However post sequale of inflammation in acne can lead to scarring and severly affects quality of life of patients.There Herein, we describe four cases that showed satisfactory cosmetic results after the treatment of acne scars on forehead and malar area using a Micro needling radiofrequency. They were treated with 3 sessions of MNRF 4 weeks apart showed drastic improvement. Fractional microneedling radio frequency (MNRF) uses selective RF thermal zone creation without any epidermal or adnexal damage and causes neocollagenesis. MNRF is a recent advancement with superior efficacy with better compliance and lesser side effects.
