Scar Microneedling

The microneedling device is used to help improve the appearance of surgical scars.

What happens during this procedure?

During the procedure, the device creates tiny, controlled injuries in the skin using very fine needles.

These micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s natural healing process.

How long does microneedling take?

This procedure takes about 45 minutes.

Why microneedling for surgical scars?

These devices are particularly effective for surgical scars because they can be adjusted to different depths, allowing for precise treatment of scars of varying thickness & depth.

It is a minimally invasive procedure that typically requires little downtime, although results may vary depending on the severity of the scar & individual healing responses.

As the skin heals from these micro-injuries created during treatment, it produces new collagen & elastin fibers, which are essential for maintaining skin structure & elasticity. This new collagen formation helps to fill in & smooth out the appearance of scars over time.

Additionally, microneedling can improve the texture & tone of the skin surrounding the scar, further blending it into the surrounding skin.
