Microneedling for atrophic scars (depressed scars)

Microneedling is an effective treatment for atrophic scars, which are sunken or depressed scars typically caused by acne or injuries. The tiny micro-injuries created during microneedling stimulate collagen production, encouraging the skin to regenerate and fill in these depressions. Over time, microneedling smooths the skin's surface, reducing the appearance of atrophic scars and improving overall texture.

Microneedling for hypertrophic scars

Hypertrophic scars are raised scars that result from an overproduction of collagen during the healing process. While microneedling is primarily used for atrophic scars, it can also benefit hypertrophic scars by breaking down excess scar tissue and encouraging more balanced skin regeneration. Multiple sessions may be needed to see significant improvements in these raised scars.

Microneedling for keloid scars

Keloid scars are larger, raised scars that extend beyond the original injury site, caused by excessive collagen production. While microneedling is not typically recommended for keloid scars due to the risk of aggravating them, it may be suitable for certain cases under the supervision of a specialist. Alternative treatments, such as corticosteroid injections, may be recommended for more severe keloids.

Microneedling for contracture scars

Contracture scars occur when the skin tightens during healing, often due to burns or injuries. Microneedling can help improve the flexibility and appearance of these scars by promoting collagen and elastin production, which helps to loosen tight or restrictive scar tissue. Over time, microneedling can enhance skin movement and improve the overall look of contracture scars.

Microneedling that targets facial scars

Microneedling is an effective treatment for facial scars, including acne and surgical scars. By stimulating collagen production, microneedling helps to smooth the skin's surface and reduce the appearance of scars over time.

Before and after microneedling facial scars

Microneedling can significantly improve the appearance of facial scars, helping to smooth and rejuvenate the skin.

  • Reduction in the visibility of acne scars and surgical scars
  • Improved skin texture and tone
  • Firmer, smoother skin with enhanced collagen production

With regular treatments, microneedling stimulates the skin’s natural healing process, leading to lasting improvements in the appearance of facial scars. Results become more noticeable as collagen continues to build in the treatment areas.

How does microneedling work on facial scars?

Microneedling uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which trigger the body’s natural healing process. This stimulates collagen and elastin production, helping repair damaged tissue and smooth out facial scars, such as acne or surgical scars. Over time, the skin becomes firmer and more even in texture, reducing the depth and visibility of scars.

As the skin heals, it regenerates new collagen-rich tissue, improving its overall appearance and feel. This minimally invasive procedure is highly effective for treating atrophic post-acne scars, which are typically deeper and more difficult to treat with topical solutions alone.

How It Works

Who is microneedling suitable for?

Microneedling is suitable for individuals looking to improve the appearance of facial scars, including those caused by acne, surgery, or injury. It is particularly effective for atrophic scars, which result in depressed or pitted areas of the skin. This treatment is also ideal for those who want to enhance their skin’s texture and stimulate collagen production without resorting to invasive procedures.

Microneedling is safe for most skin types, including darker skin tones, and can be customised to address specific skin concerns. However, it may not suit people with active acne, certain skin conditions, or those prone to keloid scars. A consultation with a skincare professional can help determine if microneedling is the right treatment for your needs.

Who It’s For

How to prepare for your facial microneedling treatment?

In the days leading up to your microneedling session, it’s important to avoid sun exposure and discontinue the use of harsh skincare products like retinoids or exfoliants for 3-5 days. These products can make your skin more sensitive and may affect healing. Keeping your skin hydrated and following any guidelines from your skin care specialist will help ensure optimal results.

On the day of your appointment, ensure your skin is clean and makeup-free. Your skincare professional may apply a numbing cream to ensure your comfort during the procedure. Proper preparation helps maximise the treatment's benefits and minimises the risk of irritation.

Preparation

What to expect at your microneedling treatment?

On the day of your microneedling session for facial scars, your skincare specialist will begin by thoroughly cleansing your skin and applying a numbing cream to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. The microneedling device, equipped with fine needles, will then be carefully applied to the treatment area, creating tiny punctures in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing process and boost collagen production. The session typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.

After the treatment, you might experience slight redness and swelling, much like a mild sunburn. These effects typically subside within a day or two. Your specialist will give you detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing and help you achieve the best possible results from the procedure.

Our other skin needling treatments

In addition to treating scars, we offer a variety of skin-needling treatments to address common skin concerns and enhance your skin’s overall appearance.

Our other skin needling treatments

In addition to treating scars, we offer a variety of skin-needling treatments to address common skin concerns and enhance your skin’s overall appearance.

Face needling

Full-face microneedling can treat various skin concerns, including wrinkles, fine lines, sun damage, scars, and stretch marks. You may also use skin needling treatments to target problem areas such as the nasolabial fold (the lines stretching from the corners of your mouth to your nose).

Skin needling procedures are minimally invasive and typically have little downtime. They are also perfectly safe to use on sensitive skin areas like the face.

Skin needling for your lips

Lips are often one of the first places where wrinkles, fine lines, and volume loss begin to show.

Skin needling can be an effective treatment for lips, helping to reduce the appearance of these concerns and restore a more youthful look. By triggering the natural healing process in your skin, you can plump up your lips naturally.

Skin needling for your neck

The ageing process, sun damage and lifestyle factors can all lead to skin concerns on the neck, such as wrinkles, sagging skin and age spots.

Skin needling triggers the body's wound-healing response, producing new collagen and elastin. This can help to tighten sagging skin, improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles on the neck.

Skin needling for your decolletage

Improving the look and feel of the delicate skin in the decolletage, or chest area, is a common goal among both men and women.

Though we also offer chemical peel and laser treatments for these areas, our clients often prefer microneedling due to its minimal downtime and impressive results.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does microneedling help reduce facial scars?

Microneedling helps reduce facial scars by creating tiny micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing process. This promotes the production of new collagen and elastin, helping to smooth out the skin and reduce the appearance of scars, including acne scars and surgical scars.

How many microneedling sessions are required to treat facial scars?

The number of sessions needed depends on the severity of the scars and the individual’s skin type. Most people see significant improvement after 3 to 6 sessions, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. Your skincare specialist will recommend a personalised treatment plan based on your specific needs.

Is microneedling safe for all types of facial scars?

Microneedling is generally safe for most types of facial scars, including atrophic acne scars and surgical scars. However, it may not be suitable for raised scars like keloids, as microneedling can sometimes aggravate them. A consultation with your skincare specialist is necessary to determine the best approach for your scar type.

Can microneedling be combined with other treatments for better scar reduction?

Yes, microneedling can be combined with other treatments such as chemical peels, PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), or laser therapy for enhanced results. Combining treatments can further stimulate collagen production and improve the overall texture and appearance of the skin.

How long does it take to see results from microneedling for facial scars?

Results from microneedling typically start to appear within a few weeks as the skin begins to heal and produce new collagen. However, the most significant improvements are usually seen after completing multiple treatments over a period of months.

Are there any side effects of microneedling for facial scars?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure with few side effects. You may experience redness, mild swelling, and slight sensitivity for 1 to 2 days following treatment. These side effects are temporary, and most people can return to their normal activities shortly after the procedure.
