Advanced Scar Removal & Scar Treatment Services in Newcastle upon Tyne
Scar Treatment using RF Microneedling
At The Laser Clinic Morpeth, we are proud to offer the latest and most advanced scar removal treatments in Newcastle upon Tyne. While we have long provided laser scar removal, we now also offer Radio Frequency (RF) Microneedling, which comes with distinct advantages. This innovative procedure combines the benefits of microneedling and radio frequency to deliver outstanding results for scar treatment.
Microneedling, a trusted method for scar treatment, involves creating micro-punctures in the skin to break down old scar tissue and stimulate the production of fresh collagen and elastin. This process also supports the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for natural skin tone, which helps improve the overall appearance of scars.
By incorporating RF into microneedling, collagen and elastin production is further enhanced. Our state-of-the-art Focus Dual device features ultra-fine 0.16mm needles and advanced vacuum technology, ensuring precise delivery of radio frequency energy at the optimal depth for various types of scars, including acne scars and deep surgical scars.
Why Do We Have Scars?
Scars develop when the deeper layers of the skin, particularly the dermis, are damaged. During the wound-healing process, the body produces new collagen fibres to repair the injury. However, these fibres differ in quality and structure from the original healthy skin, leading to scar formation. Once healing is complete, the resulting scar remains as a visible reminder of the injury.
Types of Scars Treatable with RF Microneedling
RF Microneedling is a highly versatile treatment that can address various types of scars on the face and body, including:
- Self-harm scars, injury scars, and surgery scars
- Acne scars and blemishes resulting from severe acne
- Hypertrophic scars: Raised, white scars caused by excessive collagen production during healing
- Sunken scars: Depressions in the skin due to collagen loss, often seen as pits or craters, commonly resulting from acne
- Stretch marks: Discoloured streaks on the skin caused by rapid growth or weight fluctuations, typically appearing on the abdomen, thighs, or hips
Please note that keloid scars cannot be treated with RF Microneedling. Keloid scars occur when excess scar tissue grows beyond the wound site and are often red or purple in colour. They should not be confused with hypertrophic scars, which are raised but remain within the boundaries of the original wound.
Before undergoing treatment, scars must be fully healed, as RF Microneedling is not suitable for scars still in the healing phase.
Focus Dual for Deep Acne Scarring
Our Focus Dual RF Fractional Microneedling device is revolutionising scar treatment in the beauty and aesthetics industry. It is especially effective for addressing deep acne scarring and rejuvenating the skin.
This breakthrough treatment has been widely praised, gaining attention across social media and online platforms. You may have seen remarkable transformations, including those shared by celebrities such as Judy Murray on Instagram.
What to Expect During Scar Removal Treatment
Scar treatment with RF Microneedling is virtually painless. Most clients report minimal discomfort during the procedure. Before treatment, the area will be thoroughly cleansed and prepped. During the session, a specialised handpiece is passed over the skin, creating micro-channels that stimulate collagen production. You will feel a light pressure and warmth as the needles penetrate the skin and radio frequency energy is delivered.
Aftercare and Recovery
Following your RF Microneedling treatment, your skin may appear red and feel slightly warm, similar to mild sunburn. This redness typically lasts for a few days as your skin begins the healing process. It’s essential to follow the aftercare instructions provided to ensure optimal results.
While some clients notice improvements after just one session, a typical treatment course consists of 3-5 sessions, spaced 3-4 weeks apart. The final results will become visible around 3-6 months after your last session, as the skin continues to remodel and produce healthy collagen, elastin, and melanin.
Benefits of RF Microneedling for Scar Removal
Virtually no downtime: Unlike invasive procedures, RF Microneedling involves minimal recovery time. Any redness or swelling usually subsides within a few days.
Long-lasting results: Once your course of treatment is complete, results are long-lasting. The new collagen, elastin, and melanin produced ensure that scars remain diminished, though maintenance treatments may be needed for conditions like stretch marks.
How Many Treatments Will You Need?
Every individual’s skin is unique, so the number of treatments required varies. Typically, clients undergo 3-6 sessions spaced a few weeks apart. You can continue treatment until you achieve your desired results or until your skin stops responding to RF Microneedling.
Does RF Microneedling Work on Deep Acne Scars?
Yes, RF Microneedling is one of the most effective solutions for deep acne scars, uneven skin tone, discolouration, open pores, and pitted scarring. Our advanced technology ensures that even the most stubborn scars can be treated successfully.
Cost of RF Microneedling for Scar Treatment
The cost of treatment varies depending on the type and severity of the scars and the number of sessions required. During your initial consultation, one of our experienced practitioners will assess your scars and provide a personalised treatment plan, including cost estimates.
