Snapping/Crackling Sound

[h2k]

1. Is the snapping/crackling sound you hear (dermastamp) really scar tissue being broken up? It seems I can hear this on good skin too.

2. If the scar tissue is being broken up (loosened) wouldn't the results be more immediate than if due to collagen induction? If I am hearing a lot of snapping, would this mean I should expect results sooner?

Our skin is supposed to protect us and therefore it is elastic but still tough. It is not easy to penetrate the skin and the snapping sounds do not mean it is scar tissue. Scar tissue is made of dense collagen bundles so it is tougher than scar-free skin.  You can usually feel a difference in the necessary force to penetrate a scar versus that required to pierce scarless skin but the snapping sounds are normal in both.
