Achieving the Best, Natural Results With MCA

MCA DRY NEEDLING FOR SCARS AND MINOR SKIN IMPERFECTIONS

Scars and minor skin imperfections can often significantly impact confidence and self-esteem. Whether they result from acne, injuries, or surgeries, finding an effective solution to reduce their appearance is a common desire. MCA dry needling has emerged as a promising technique for addressing these concerns in recent years.

Introduction

What is MCA Dry Needling?
How does it work?

MCA dry needling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, producing collagen and elastin, which are essential for skin rejuvenation.

Benefits of MCA for Scars

Reduction in scar appearance
Improvement in skin texture
Boosting collagen production

Reduction in Scar Appearance

One of the primary benefits of MCA is its ability to reduce the appearance of scars. By promoting collagen production, the procedure helps to smooth out uneven skin texture and diminish the visibility of scars.

Improvement in Skin Texture

In addition to reducing scars, MCA dry needling can improve overall skin texture. Stimulating collagen and elastin production leads to firmer, more elastic skin, resulting in a smoother and more youthful complexion.

Boosting Collagen Production

Collagen is crucial for maintaining the skin’s strength and elasticity. MCA dry needling stimulates the production of new collagen fibres, helping to restore the skin’s natural firmness and resilience.

Understanding Minor Skin Imperfections

Types of minor skin imperfections
Common causes

Minor skin imperfections, including uneven skin tone, enlarged pores, and fine lines caused by sun damage, ageing, and genetics.

Application for Minor Skin Imperfections

Target areas
Procedure overview

MCA dry needling targets minor skin imperfections, including fine lines, wrinkles, and enlarged pores. A trained dermatologist or aesthetician typically performs the procedure, which involves using a specialised device equipped with fine needles.

Preparation and Aftercare

Pre-treatment preparations
Post-treatment care instructions

Preparing the skin properly is essential. This may involve cleansing the treatment area and applying a topical numbing cream to minimise discomfort during the procedure. Aftercare instructions typically include avoiding sun exposure and applying moisturisers or serums to promote healing.

Safety and Risks

Potential side effects
Who should avoid MCA dry needling?

MCA is considered safe, but potential risks include redness, swelling, and minor bruising at the treatment site. It’s essential to discuss any concerns with a qualified healthcare provider before undergoing the procedure.

Comparison with Other Scar Treatment Methods

Surgical options
Topical treatments

Surgical Options

Traditional scar treatment methods, such as surgical excision or laser therapy, can be effective but may involve more significant risks and downtime compared to MCA.

Topical Treatments

Topical treatments, such as creams and ointments, are often used to minimise the appearance of scars and minor skin imperfections. While these products can provide some improvement, MCA may be more effective in stimulating collagen production and promoting skin rejuvenation.

TREATMENTS USING MCA AND DRY NEEDLING

Scar and Burn Camouflage

Burns nearly always cause massive trauma to the skin. Scars and burns range from minor to major and can be on any part of the body or face. If prominent and seen, they can cause issues with confidence. Whether the scar is small on the face from an illness like chickenpox or large from a burn or accident, all can cause varying degrees of anxiety.

MCA and Dry Needling offer fantastic results for burns and scars. We pierce the scar tissue to stimulate cell growth under the scar. This process restructures the scar, allowing the scar to begin to shrink and disappear.

To treat scars effectively, we attempt to fully understand the burn or scar’s effect on our patients. Patients are often sceptical of treatments on scarred areas for fear that they will become worse. We always reassure each client and perform a patch test on the area first to see how the pigment takes to the scar.

First, we perform a course of MCA Dry Needling to flatten the scar, and in most cases, this process naturally pigments the scar. Then, if more pigment is required, we apply skin tone pigment to match the scar to the surrounding skin tone. We perform a skin patch test because the skin pigment will likely become darker for some skin colours and types. We discuss this at the consultation part of a treatment session.

Acne Scarring

MCA and Dry Needling is also very successful for Acne Scarring and will treat raised and indented scars. The area is treated with a course to flatten the scar and, in most cases, naturally re-pigment to a natural look. MCA and Dry Needling is an advanced micropigmentation technique that a highly trained micropigmentation specialist must perform correctly.

Stretch Marks

MCA and Dry Needling achieve excellent results on stretch marks. They stimulate the skin’s natural defence system to heal by promoting and producing collagen naturally. MCA and Dry Needling also stimulate the skin’s melanin (pigmentation in the skin) to, in most cases, restore natural pigmentation once the area has fully healed. We recommend a skin camouflage treatment course if areas do not fully pigment.

Fine Lines and Wrinkles

MCA and Dry Needling also work well on fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating natural collagen production beneath the treated area. A topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure to ensure the treatment is as comfortable as possible. Directly after the treatment, the skin will appear scratched and lightly grazed for a few days. Once healed, the skin’s appearance will notice a noticeable difference. Further treatments may be required to improve results.

Scar Pigmentation

When MCA Dry Needling does not re-pigment the scar, we apply pigments to match the skin tone surrounding the scar. We use multiple skin-coloured pigments to mimic the skin tone accurately.

HOW MCA AND DRY NEEDLING WORKS

MCA and Dry Needling work by softening and flattening raised (hypertrophic) scars from injury or surgery. We also see effective results in improving the appearance of burns, skin grafts, stretch marks, acne scars (atrophic) and plump wrinkles.

MCA dry needling uses the same micropigmentation equipment and needles we use with our pigment implantation procedures. However, with MCA Dry Needling, there is no pigment, just a dry needle, hence the term “Dry Needling”.

During MCA and Dry Needling, collagen beneath the skin is stimulated to replace the epidermis with new skin. We often see MCA and Dry needling stimulate and recolour the scar naturally. If this does not happen, we suggest a course of scar camouflage or skin camouflage.

MCA is comfortable in most cases

MCA and Dry Needling is comfortable in most cases. We always use the best available topical numbing cream to numb the area as much as possible. After the treatment, the area will appear scratched and lightly grazed for a few days. The area should be kept as dry as possible for 48 hours post-treatment. The area should fully heal within 3 to 4 days, and once healed, there should be a noticeable difference in the appearance of the skin. It is usual for more than one treatment to be required to obtain the best results.

If you are thinking of Dermaroller, please note that MCA Dry Needling is more effective. It concentrates the treatment on a specific area using a single needle, encouraging collagen replacement only where required. Also, the healing time for MCA Dry Needling is 3 to 4 days instead of 10 to 14 days with Dermaroller.

Skin Patch Test

A Skin Patch Test (SPT) is required before we perform some medical micropigmentation treatments. An SPT must show the correct colour application to match the surrounding skin.

Medical Micropigmentation encompasses a variety of procedures to correct and conceal imperfections or damage to the skin. Micropigmentation is the process of implanting non-permanent pigments in the upper layers of skin in the epidermis that lasts 2 to 3 years. MCA and Dry Needling are advanced micropigmentation techniques that must be performed correctly and by a highly trained micropigmentation specialist.
