Laser scar treatment is appropriate for surgical scars and acne scars on any area of the body, including the face. Laser scar treatment works on most skin types, including very light and very dark skin. Our doctor will determine whether you are a good candidate for this treatment.
Most people need three to five treatment sessions for optimum results. Typical side effects include a temporary redness and swelling at the treatment site, which should last only a few days.
Skin Needling
In some cases, where scars cannot be treated using Laser, we offer Skinpen – a skin needling system with a raft of benefits for rejuvenation, while any hypertrophic scars, such as acne or burn scars, respond very well to skin needling, as depressed scars become elevated and the surface contours of the skin are smoothed.
Using a unique vertical needling technology, Skinpen’s multiple needles, multi-speed and adjustable needle depths allow it to pierce your skin’s layers at 90 degrees and at a rate of 1000 holes per second. This vastly increases absorption of products, so you spend less time and money in the treatment room for better results.
It’s the perfect solution for a wide range of cosmeceutical treatments, including:
- Skin tightening, natural collagen induction, lifting and rejuvenation
- Healing acne scars and wounds
- Improving wrinkles and fine lines
- Open pore minimisation
- Improving stretch marks
- Treating alopecia (when used in conjunction with a topical treatment)
- Aiding penetration of treatment solutions
More importantly, Skinpen is utterly painless, even for hard-to-reach and delicate places such as around the eyes, nose and lips where fine lines and wrinkles are most visible. The vertical delivery makes it easily able to penetrate and break up scar tissue for improved healing.
There is no chance of cross infection as the device only uses disposable needles. And because damage to your epidermal layer is minimised, rejuvenation results are enhanced. Active ingredients can be directly supplied to the deeper layers of the skin for a superior effect on collagen and elastin rejuvenation.
In fact, Skinpen is just as effective as ablative treatments such as fractional laser, IPL, laser resurfacing and chemical peels.
This treatment is recommended in a course of 3 with 4 weeks intervals.
