The
Clearskincare Medical Roller can be used to treat a number
of different scar types, including depressed acne scarring,
hypotrophic surgical scars, particularly the interface of
skin grafts with normal skin, chicken pox scars and deep
facial lines.
In my experience, results
vary between patients, with some patients achieving 90%+ improvement
in scarring and others, less than 50 %.
All patients however achieve
some improvement. All patients will require multiple treatments
to achieve satisfactory results, and I usually advise that
they will need between 4 – 6 treatments, that way patient
expectations are usually met.
The most exciting feature
of Skin Needling is its safety advantages. Skin Needling can
be safely performed on Asian and darker skins, as well as
skins that have been previously lasered or had dermabrasion.
Skin Needling can be safely
performed under local anaesthesia and is the treatment of
choice for depressed acne scarring on young skins, because
of its low risk profile and affordability. Skin Needling can
be safely performed by trained nurses. Skin Needling delivers
good results for upper lip lines with a no risk profile, in
stark contrast to laser resurfacing.
Skin Needling can be performed
for whole face rejuvenation, and when combined with prescription
strength Vitamin A and hydroquinone, delivers equivalent results
to laser resurfacing with a no risk profile. It can also be
regularly repeated as the patient ages to replenish collagen.
Skin Needling is a safe and effective alternative
to traditional invasive treatments for depressed Acne Scarring
and Skin Rejuvenation.
Clearskincare is building an Australia wide/
Worldwide network of Clinics offering safe, effective and
affordable treatments for the commonest skin problems, Acne,
Acne Scaring, Skin Ageing and Sun Damage.
