Scar and stretch mark microneedling treatment
Surgical scars and stretch marks (striae) are often a source of insecurity for many individuals. Our medical microneedling treatments using the SkinPen Precision device offer a solution.
What is Scar Treament - Stretch Mark Removal
Scar treatment for stretch mark removal involves various procedures aimed at reducing the visibility of stretch marks on the skin, making it smoother and more even. One effective method is microneedling, a minimally invasive treatment that stimulates collagen production, promotes skin regeneration, and helps diminish the appearance of stretch marks over time.
How Microneedling Works?
Microneedling involves the use of a device equipped with fine needles that create tiny punctures (micro-injuries) in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s natural healing process, which involves the production of collagen and elastin key proteins that contribute to skin strength, elasticity, and smoothness. Medical microneedling can lead to a visible reduction in the appearance of scars and stretch marks.
What is SkinPen Precision?
The SkinPen Precision is a leading microneedling device that is widely used for skin rejuvenation, particularly in treating scars, wrinkles, fine lines, and stretch marks.
Key Features and Benefits:
1. FDA-Cleared and Clinically Proven: SkinPen Precision is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device. Clinical studies have demonstrated its effectiveness.
2. Safety and Precision: The SkinPen Precision is designed with safety in mind. It features adjustable needle depths, allowing for customised treatments based on the patient's skin type and the area being treated. The devices single-use, sterile needle cartridges ensure a clean and safe treatment everytime, minimising the risk of infection.
3. Non-Invasive: Unlike more invasive skin treatments, SkinPen Precision is a minimally invasive procedure that requires little to no downtime. Patients typically experience mild redness and swelling similar to a sunburn, which usually resolves within 24-48 hours.
4. Versatility: SkinPen Precision can be used on various parts of the body,including the face, neck, décolletage, and areas with stretch marks. It is suitable for a wide range of skin types and tones, and it can treat conditions such as acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and stretch marks.
5. Collagen Stimulation: By creating controlled micro-injuries, the SkinPen triggers the body’s natural wound healing response. This response includes the production of new collagen and elastin, which leads to firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin over time.
6. Minimal Downtime: SkinPen treatments are relatively quick, usually taking around 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the treatment area. While some redness and mild irritation may occur post-treatment, patients can typically resume their normal activities within a day or two.
7. Customizable Treatments: The depth of the SkinPen needles can be adjusted to target specific concerns, making it highly customizable. For instance, deeper needle penetration can be used to treat severe scars or stretch marks, while a shallower depth can address more superficial skin issues like fine lines or enlarged pores.
8. Results: Patients often notice an improvement in their skin's texture and tone after just one treatment, though a series of treatments (usually 3-6) is often recommended for optimal results, especially for more severe conditions like deep scars or extensive stretch marks.
