Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This pilot study will expand knowledge and application needling using the Straberi device for the improvement of Postinflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) caused by acne.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This pilot study will expand the knowledge and application of needling using the Straberi Epistamp device and its safety and benefits for improving the appearance of Postinflammatory Hyperpigmentation. Postinflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) caused by acne is a common inflammatory disease that can adversely affect facial appearance. Facial acne can have a serious negative impact on psychosocial functioning leaving deep emotional scars. Severe acne can also lead to physical scars and disfigurement. Among patients with severe acne, facial scarring affects both genders equally and occurs to some degree in 95% of cases.
