Skin is scarred by many causes. These include acne, burns, surgery, accidents or chicken pox. Scars often make people more self-conscious. As soon as the deeper layers of the skin (dermis) are damaged, the body immediately begins repairing the wounded area. Numerous cells migrate to the damaged area, macrophages remove dead cells and debris and fibroblasts produce collagen that ‘bridges the gap’ over the wounded area to heal the breach in the skin. The initial wound is healed but unfortunately the fibroblasts over produce collagen after the healing process is complete forming a scar.
No single procedure can correct all types of scars and hence a combination of treatments, including Dermaroller, provides superior results.
Traditional skin resurfacing methods treat the entire skin’s surface removing the upper layers of skin to reveal the fresher more youthful skin beneath.
Fractional laser resurfacing only treats part of the skin leaving uninjured skin areas around the treatment site that act as a barrier promoting quicker healing and faster recovery.
By offering both traditional and fractional laser resurfacing techniques we can truly recommend the treatment that is best suited to you. Whichever procedure we advise, you can be assured that we are not recommending it because it is all we have to offer but because it is the best choice for you.
