Looking For A Scar Treatment In Newcastle?

Scarring can have a significant impact on your self-confidence. While scars are a natural part of the healing process, their appearance can be a source of insecurity as uneven skin texture and tone can be difficult to hide. If you’re looking for an effective scar treatment in Newcastle, RP Aesthetics offers the multi-award-winning SkinPen™. This advanced microneedling device offers a scientifically-backed solution to reduce the appearance of scars by harnessing your body’s natural healing process.

How Do Scars Form?

Scars are your body’s way of repairing damaged skin after injury. When the skin is wounded, by acne, a cut, or another injury, the body quickly produces collagen to close the wound. Specialised cells called fibroblasts migrate to the site of injury and start producing type III collagen, which is more disorganised and weaker than normal collagen. This is the body’s attempt to quickly patch the wound. Over time, the type III collagen is replaced with type I collagen, which is stronger. However, the collagen fibres formed during scar healing tend to be deposited in a haphazard, crisscrossed pattern rather than in the organised structure found in healthy skin. This irregularity leads to the raised, sunken or rough texture characteristic of scars. For scar treatment in Newcastle, our clinic uses the SkinPen™ device to replace scar tissue with healthy collagen strands.

The Best Scar Treatment In Newcastle

SkinPen™ is a medical-grade microneedling device that triggers your skin’s natural healing processes to rejuvenate and repair itself. Here’s an outline of how your scar treatment in Newcastle would work:

1. During the procedure, the handheld device creates thousands of microscopic punctures in your skin using fine, sterile needles. These controlled micro-injuries stimulate your skin’s natural wound-healing process.
2. When the skin is injured in a controlled way, the body responds by producing new collagen and elastin. Unlike the collagen formed in response to scarring, these new strands are more structured and uniform, which helps to smooth out the texture of your skin.
3. Over time, this process leads to skin remodelling. As new skin cells are generated and fresh collagen is laid down, the appearance of scars is reduced. SkinPen™ is particularly effective at treating atrophic scars, as it helps fill in the depressions by stimulating new tissue growth.

SkinPen™ For Other Skin Concerns

While we often use SkinPen™ as a powerful scar treatment in Newcastle, its benefits extend beyond this. The device can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly on the neck, by boosting collagen production and promoting smoother skin. If you’re beginning to notice the first signs of ageing, SkinPen™ is a brilliant preventative treatment. Collagen is given a boost before dwindling production leads to pronounced wrinkles. A course of three treatments spaced around a month apart can improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and enhance overall skin radiance.

Combining Treatments For Dramatic Results

When you book a scar treatment in Newcastle with RP Aesthetics, we’ll ensure you get the best results. After examining your skin and assessing the type and severity of your scars, Richard Peppiatt will create a comprehensive treatment plan based on your individual needs. This may mean combining SkinPen™ sessions with other procedures, such as Chemical Peels or prescription-strength Obagi® skincare products.

Chemical Peels can be used alongside microneedling to remove dead skin cells and stimulate further skin regeneration. When combined with SkinPen™, Peels help to remodel your skin, resulting in a more even surface.

To maintain and enhance your results, Richard may recommend using Obagi® products that are specifically formulated to improve skin health, including the treatment of active acne. Potent ingredients work to brighten the skin, reduce hyperpigmentation and maintain a smooth, radiant complexion.
