Scar Therapy (Micro Needling)

What are the benefits of Micro Needling scars? SCAR THERAPY, ALSO KNOWN AS MICRO NEEDLING, SKIN NEEDLING OR COLLAGEN INDUCTION THERAPY, IS A TREATMENT USED TO REJUVENATE THE SKIN AND IMPROVE THE APPEARANCE AND TEXTURE OF VARIOUS TYPES OF SCAR TISSUE.

How does micro needling work? Tiny sterile needles lightly puncture the skin triggering a ‘healing’ response from your body, which boosts collagen and elastin levels in the area and increases skin cell renewal. This in turn helps to soften and relax scar tissue, improving the overal appearance, texture, and colour.

Micro Needling can also help to relax tight or thickened scar, helping to increase mobility and skin elasticity.

Micro Needling and Scar Camouflage can be performed on a number of different types of scar tissue, including:

• surgical scarring
• self harm scars
• burns
• stretch marks
• skin grafts

Micro Needling is also a great way to improve the quality of scar tissue and skin in preparation for a scar tattoo or areola-nipple tattoo.

Loved by many celebrities for its almost instant results, as well as long lasting effects, Micro Needling is a must have for your skin care routine, boasting a wide variety of skin health benefits including:

• Anti Ageing – fine lines and wrinkles are reduced from the boost of collagen and elastin.
• Dull/Tired Skin – specially designed serums are infused into the skin leaving it rejuvenated and hydrated.
• Scarring – including acne scarring, chicken pox scars and stretch marks are improved and reduced.
• Larges pores and uneven skin texture are improved.
• Pigmentation – can help fade sun damage and pigmentation.
• Increases absorption of skin products – allowing products to absorb into the deep layers of the skin.
• Micro Needling can also be used to treat and rejuvenate other areas of the body, such as chest and back.

Unlike more invasive treatments, such as some laser and chemical peel treatments, Micro Needling does not cause high levels of trauma to skin, which can result in hyper or hypo pigmentation, making it suitable for all skin types and a perfect choice for darker skin.
