RF Microneedling for Scarring

RF Microneedling for scarring (also known in full as radio-frequency micro-needling) is a minimally invasive treatment of which involved the use of medical grade fine needles to create ‘controlled injury’ to the skin. This treatment works by stimulating the natural collagen and elastin production as well as the bodies healing process via heating the underlying layers of skin with radiofrequency waves to promote rejuvenated skin. 

The RF Microneedling treatment can be used to treat skin conditions such as wrinkles, fine lines, pigmentation and scarring (such as acne scarring & stretch marks) as well as providing skin tightening benefits.

Does the RF microneedling for scarring hurt? 

The treatment is not painful, but may feel uncomfortable especially in bony areas such as around the eyes and bridge of the nose. A numbing agent will be applied to the skin approximately 15 minutes before treatment to help with the comfortability. 

After, your skin will feel warm and may be slightly sensitive, think mild sunburn. Pin point bleeding can occur and this is perfectly normal and a result we want to achieve in some instances. 

 

How many treatments of the scar RF microneedling will I need and how often? 

Every patient will have a unique treatment plan tailored to their scars and the results they wish to achieve. On average a course of 3 treatments is recommended with one treatment every 4-6 weeks, however some scars may need more frequent treatments or require a longer healing time.

He explained everything in detail. The Scar Clinic booking team also made the whole process easy and hassle free. I would 100% recommend this practice, top notch service!"

"Great staff, and knowledge. I called the clinic after I had a traumatic experience elsewhere which left me with 2nd-degree burns. Very, very pleased with the results of the burn, it disappeared and left no scarring with the dressing and treatment Mr Goutos used. My experience as a whole has been more than pleasant and I would recommend both the clinic and Mr Goutos to all!"

He’s been extremely patient in taking time to explain things in full, prompt in answering all the questions I had throughout my recovery. Excellent communicator and very kind indeed. Scrub nurses were lovely, and in general I can’t fault my experience with you at all."

"Everything and everyone - from environment to all staff (reception, nurses, and of course Dr. Firas who is a great doctor and a very charming and warm person who makes patients feel at ease even when their situation isn’t the lightest). Overall, very good experience!"

"The surgeon answered all of my concerns and I felt confident to undergo the procedure and came out feeling confident I received very good care. The staff and nurses gave me personal attention and were quite courteous, they readily gave me any information that I needed. They were particular in helping me go through all the steps I needed in preparation for the procedure. "
