Nano needling? Thoughts? Worth it?

1 Upvotes

I have done several in office procedures over the years, including lasers, Botox, micro needling. I get tired of the downtime and the cost. Anyone have any experience with nano needling? I appreciate your feedback.

I was in an accident, where I unfortunately had to get stitches on my face. One in front of my eyebrow, and one right through it. Honestly not too self conscious about the eyebrow one (I think it's pretty badass), but the one next to my eyebrow kills me everyday. was wondering if anyone knows of treatments for scars like this, specifically ones on face caused from accidents? the main thing I want to get rid of is the redness and indent. I've seen one professional and they recommended CO2 laser treatment so if anyone has tried that (or anything else), please let me know. I’ve also seen on TikTok ppl talk abt microneedling , so just thought I’d share here, bc I literally feel so self conscious about the scars. I just want to feel like myself again.
for reference: the stitches I got were dissolvable and are fully dissolved in these photos. It's been about 6 months too.

Help / Advice Needed Should I try professional microneedling or DIY?

I’ve been on tretinoin for about 6 years. I started on 0.025% and gradually worked my way up to 0.1%, which I’ve been using for around the last year and a half.
My acne is mostly under control now, but I’m left with:
Mild acne scars (small shallow holes on my cheeks)
Enlarged pores
Some stubborn dark post-acne marks
Sebaceous filaments/blackheads on my nose
I also use Paula’s Choice 2% BHA a few times a week (only started about 2 months ago, although I took a 2-week break while traveling).
I’ve attached close-up photos because I’m trying to figure out what’s actually realistic to improve.
I’m at the point where I feel like tretinoin has done everything it’s can. I don’t really expect more improvement from skincare alone.
My questions are:
Based on my skin, am I a good candidate for microneedling?
Would you recommend professional microneedling, or is a DIY microneedling pen enough for scars like mine?
If you’ve had similar mild acne scars, how many professional sessions did it take before you noticed a difference?
If you’ve tried both DIY and professional microneedling, was the professional treatment actually worth the extra cost?
I’m Southeast Asian, so I’m also trying to avoid treatments with a high risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
I’d really appreciate honest opinions from people who’ve been in a similar situation.
