SCAR TREATMENTS

SCARS
When wounds heal, they often develop into scars. Scars appear in numerous forms and can be caused by all sorts of situations.Β Surgery, accidents, self harm, acne, chicken pox, cold sores and sun damage are just some examples of how scars can be caused.Β
Whatever the cause, scars can leave much more behind than what is visible on the surface.Β Whether accidental or surgical, male or female, if you have facial or body scarring that has left you feeling imperfect and affects your self confidence, then my medical scar treatments can help.
SCAR TREATMENTS
MCA SKIN NEEDLING/DRY TATTOOING
MCA (multi trepannic collagen actuation), also known as Dry Tattooing, is a revolutionary scar treatment that relaxes scar tissue, smooths stretch marks and brings new life to damaged skin. Β
MCA is a very precise scar treatment using a digital, rotary tattoo machine and disposable needle to target and smooth out scar tissue and stretch marks.
MCA scar treatment promotes the natural production of collagen and can also promote the natural reproduction of pigment in scars and stretch marks. Β I usually recommend a course of MCA scar treatments prior to Scar Camouflage Tattooing. Β MCA will prepare the scar/stretch mark for the implantation of pigment and often stimulates enough natural pigmentation that Camouflage is not always necessary.Β
Typically most types of scars/stretch marks can benefit from MCA scarΒ treatment. Β In order to get the best possible results scars should be :
- 6+ months old
- no longer red in colour
- not a keloid scar
- not hyper pigmented
SCAR
CAMOUFLAGE TATTOOING
Scar Camouflage Tattooing is a medical grade scar treatment whereby skin coloured pigment is tattooed into scar tissue in order to blend it in with the surrounding healthy tissue. Β It is particularly effective on older, flatter scars but can improve the appearance of most scars provided the scar tissue is lighter than the surrounding, healthy tissue.Β
In some cases, I like to combine a course of MCA Skin Needling/Dry Tattooing and Scar Camouflage scar treatments in order to get the best possible results. Β MCA can prepare the scar tissue for the implantation of pigment by promoting natural collagen production which smoothes out the damaged tissue prior to Scar Camouflage Tattooing, often giving much better results than Scar Camouflage Tattooing alone.Β
In order to get the best possible results, scars should be :
- 12+ months old
- no longer red or pink in colour
- lighter in colour than the surrounding tissue
- not noticeably depressed (atrophic)
- not a keloid scar
- not hyper pigmented
