MCA Scar Treatment/dry needling is carried out with the use of a specialist medical tattooing machine, using a dry needle technique (no pigment/colour used). The treatment consists of a needle that enters the surface layers of the skin, just enough to cause a minor trauma and stimulate blood flow to the area.
Virtually painless can be done in your lunch hour!
The process causes minor punctures, which create channels that trigger the body to produce collagen, melanin and elastin in order to fill the wounds – therefore promoting further healing.
While this isn’t a total scar removal treatment (no such thing exists) it can improve the look, feel, firmness and appearance of scars considerably.
So what happens after an MCA Scar Treatment?
New tissue grows into the damaged skin and collagen, elastin and melanin production is stimulated as part of this new healing process.
Loose and sunken stretch marks fill out and appear smoother and firmer.
Discoloured scars start to normalise and skin tone/colour evens out.
Scars that are raised and bumpy flatten out and become less visible
Tight scars relax and become less restricted.
Areas of scar numbness may begin to have returned feeling.
This treatment is fantastic for anyone that would like to improve the appearance and feel of a scars, burns and stretch marks. While there is no guarantee as to the exact results, most patients will notice a marked improvement after just one treatment. Typically a course of treatment is 3-4 treatments to be carried out 4-6 weeks apart.
