MCA - MEDICAL DRY NEEDLING

What is MCA Scar Treatment / Dry Needling ?
Firstly, its important to state that this is not a facial nor a microneedling facial.
It is a targeted and effective treatment for problem areas of scarring.
MCA - Dry needling scar treatment is carried out with the use of a specialist medical tattooing machine, using a dry needle technique (no pigment/colour used).
The process causes minute punctures, which create channels that trigger the body to produce collagen, melanin and elastin in order to fill the wounds – therefore promoting further healing. It is a very effective treatment to improve the texture, tone and improve appearance of scar tissue.
While this isn’t a scar removal treatment (no such thing exists unfortunately), it can improve the look, feel, firmness and appearance of scars considerably.
How does Scar treatment work?
- Collagen, Melanin and Elastin are produced leading to new tissue growth and gentle healing
- Bumpy and knotted scars start to become smoother
- Discoloured scars can start to re-pigment naturally and blend into the surrounding skin more
- Tight and restrictive scars start to relax
MCA Micro needling treatment is effective in treating:-
- SURGERY SCARS - e.g. Scar revision after breast augmentation or breast reduction
- Revision or camouflage of scars around the areola after breast surgery
- STRETCH MARKS - Helping white scars to re-pigment naturally
- FACIAL SCARS - Blending the appearance of scars into the surrounding skin
- BURNS - Relaxing burn scars so the skin is less distorted and more comfortable. Improving stretch and movement in the area.
- ACNE SCARING - Acne scarring can be long lasting and reduce a person's confidence. It can leave the skin with indents and pits which can not be covered with make up. Dry needling in each area of damage will plump and smoother even very old acne scarring and will transform the appearance of your skin.
- SELF HARM SCARS - Providing you are fully recovered and not currently self harming then this treatment will help you smooth away your affected areas of harm.
- TREATMENT OF DEEP LINES AND WRINKLES - This is a very effective way to smooth and plumb deep static lines as the needling draws the collagen back into the crevice of the line. If the line is linked to movement of the face, inorder for the results to be maintained, botox will be required.

Thread Vein Treatment
LEG THREAD VEIN TREATMENT
Sclerotherapy Explained (Thread Vein treatment)
Sclerotherapy uses injections to close off unwanted blood vessels. The injected solution causes inflammation and clotting, shrinking the vein. The body then naturally replaces the vein with scar tissue.
How Fibrovein Works
Fibrovein is a sclerosing agent that damages the inner lining of the vein (endothelium), triggering the body's healing response. This leads to blood clotting within the vein, forming a hard clot (sclerothrombus) that eventually turns into scar tissue, effectively closing the vein.
Treatment Results & Aftercare
Results vary. Some veins disappear completely, others fade, and some may remain unchanged. Expect a 60-80% improvement overall, but this might take 2-3 months to fully appear. Multiple treatments (2-4) are usually necessary, spaced 4 weeks apart.
Aftercare:
Wear compression stockings or tight leggings for several days post-treatment to maintain pressure.
Scheduling:
Morning/ Mid-day appointments are best. Movement is encouraged, but avoid strenuous exercise.
WHO CAN HAVE SCLEROTHERAPY?
Veins should be on the legs. this treatment is not suitable for facial thread veins.
sclerotherapy may not be suitable if you have:
* Recent surgery
* Uncontrolled systemic diseases (e.g., diabetes)
* Cancer
* Allergies to the injection
* High risk of blood clots
* Infection at the injection site
* A history of blood clots (may still be possible depending on individual health)
Important Considerations
* Age: While patients over 60 may be suitable, their overall health and activity level are crucial considerations.
* Smoking: Heavy smoking may affect the success rate.
