MCA is a method of derma-pigmentation using a ‘dry needling’ technique’ which has proven success in treating the following conditions : Acne scars Surgical scars Burns Skin grafts Stretch marks Wrinkles Tattoo removal MCA works by softening and flattening scars. The technique can be successful in the treatment of acne scars(atrophic)or raised (hypertrophic)scars from injury or as a result of surgery. Additionally it can be to improve the appearance of wrinkles & stretch marks, skin grafts, burns and in some cases, Vitiligo MCA will in some cases stimulate the natural re-colouration of a scar that is white. If this does not work then we are able to camouflage scar areas by implanting skin tone pigments to disguise the scar. During this procedure the trauma applied to the skin by the action of ‘dry needling’, stimulates the production of collagen which crosses the layers of the skin to replace the epidermis. This is a comfortable procedure which utilise the latest pain control techniques and is only undertaken after full consultation with your specialist. Directly after the procedure the skin will appear scratched and lightly grazed for a few days. The patient should keep it as dry as possible for 48 hours. Once healed, a noticeable difference in the appearance of the skin will be achieved. Additional procedures will improve results. Unlike Dermaroller, MCA targets specific areas with a single needle which leads to less time off work as the healing time is approximately 3-4 days as opposed to 10-14 days with Dermaroller.
