Scar Removal

 

Causes

Scars occur when the dermis is damaged by injury, surgery, acne or picking at a scab. When a wound occurs, the skin is in a hurry to replenish tissue resulting in the collagen not getting laid out as neatly as the rest of the skin. Too much collagen creates a raised
scar while a lack of makes an indented scar.

Our Recommended Treatments

Venus Viva™

  • Targets: Acne scars, ice pick scars, pigmentation, lax or loose skin, rough or unfavourable skin texture, lines and wrinkles
  • Treatment: Using a diamond polar applicator that combines Multi-Polar Radio Frequency (RF) and Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields (PEMF), the Venus Viva™ treats moderate to severe wrinkles, skin laxity and rhytides. Treatments with this applicator are comfortable with no downtime, and RF technology is proven safe for all skin types
  • Method: Radio-frequency (RF) cosmetic procedure
  • Downtime: Lunchtime procedure

PRP Therapy

  • Targets: Ageing Skin, dull skin, sagging skin, acne scars, pigmentation, wrinkles
  • Treatment: PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma. Your blood is drawn — typically from your arm — and placed into a centrifuge (a machine that spins rapidly to separate fluids of different densities). The separated Platelet Rich Plasma is drawn up into a syringe and then injected into areas of the face or neck using a syringe or microneedling. If you would like immediate results, we recommend combining it with a filler
  • Method: Injection / Microneedling / Dermaroller
  • Downtime: Lunchtime procedure
  • Frequency: First 3 sessions monthly then maintenance once every 6-12 months (depending on the patient)

Microneedling

  • Targets: Acne scars, dehydrated skin, superficial wrinkles, dull skin, pigmentation, open pores and uneven skin texture
  • Treatment: Multiple micro-injections containing beneficial vitamins and peptides are delivered into the mesodermal layer of tissue under the skin to restore plumpness and volume to areas such as the face, eye area, neck and décolletage.
  • Method: Injection
  • Downtime: Lunchtime procedure
  • Frequency: Every 2-4 weeks

Dermaroller

  • Targets: Acne scars, large pores, loss of skin firmness, wrinkles, fine lines, stretch marks, hyper pigmentation
  • Treatment: A form of microneedling that creates micro pathways in the skin for products to better penetrate into the skin. Larger needles can be used for wound healing stimulation, enhancing collagen stimulation and in turn, leading to a smoother, more even, and plumper complexion and lightening of scars and stretch marks
  • Method: Microneedling
  • Downtime: 2-3 hours
  • Frequency: Every 2-4 weeks

Chemical Peel

  • Targets: Acne, acne scars, pigmentation, whiteheads, blackheads, rough and dry skin
  • Treatment: A chemical solution is applied to create a controlled wound, causing an exfoliation reaction and allowing new skin to take its place
  • Method: Topical Application
  • Downtime: Lunchtime procedure
  • Frequency: Every 2-4 weeks
