Needling techniques involve a manual or electrical device with varying needle lengths penetrating the skin with the aim of causing ‘controlled damage’ to remodel the collagen that makes up the scar to ultimately improve the appearance.
Needling treatments aim to replace the old collagen that formed a problematic scar via re-starting the healing process. Often texture and pliability are factors that can be improved via these methods.
Here at The London Scar Clinic, we offer three forms of needling treatments, these are Dermapen, surgical needling and RF micro-needling. Each form of needling targets different forms of scars and the most appropriate form of needling will be determined after an initial scar assessment.
