Results over a series
The effect builds gradually over several treatments and maintenance.
Scars after injuries, burns or surgery affect not only how the skin looks, but can also feel tight and have a different texture from the surrounding skin. Microneedling and PRP can help soften and even out such scars.
By creating controlled micro-channels in the scar tissue, a new healing process is stimulated where the collagen is reorganised more like in healthy skin. This can make the scar flatter, softer and more similar to the surrounding skin in both texture and colour. PRP's growth factors enhance the healing. For depressed scars it works much like for acne scars, the tissue is gradually filled from below.
Timing is important. A scar needs to be mature and stable, usually at least 6-12 months old, before we treat it. Fresh scars should first be allowed to heal completely. We are also honest that some scars, especially very wide or strongly raised ones (keloids), may need other or complementary methods, in which case we guide you on.
At a free consultation we assess your scar, type, age and location, and suggest whether microneedling and PRP are the right path.
