How Microneedling And Chemical Peels Offer Effective Scar Treatment

Scars can carry a significant emotional weight, affecting confidence and self-image. Whether caused by acne, injuries, or surgeries, scars can vary in shape, size, and depth. Fortunately, advanced aesthetics offer options for scar treatment, effectively softening, fading, and smoothing these marks. At Aesthetic Visual Result, we specialise in two highly effective, minimally invasive treatments for scar improvement: microneedling and chemical peels. Both techniques work by stimulating the skin’s natural healing processes, helping to gradually reduce the appearance of scars and enhance overall skin texture.

About Microneedling As A Scar Treatment

Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, is a popular scar treatment that uses tiny, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin – key proteins responsible for skin strength and elasticity. The result? A gradual improvement in skin texture, tone, and scar appearance. At Aesthetic Visual Result, we use the award-winning SkinPen microneedling device.

Improved Texture and Tone: By increasing collagen production, microneedling helps to smooth the skin’s surface, reducing unevenness caused by scars.
Targeted Results: Microneedling allows precise targeting, making it ideal for addressing specific scarred areas or larger zones with multiple scars.
Minimal Downtime: Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that requires little recovery time, making it a convenient option for those with busy lifestyles.

Typically, multiple sessions are needed to see significant results, as collagen buildup and skin renewal occur gradually. However, many clients notice a visible improvement in skin texture and scar reduction after just a few treatments.

About Chemical Peels For Scar Reduction

Chemical peels are another powerful scar treatment that can help reduce the appearance of scars. This procedure involves the application of a specialised chemical solution to the skin, which gently exfoliates the outer layer, removing dead and damaged skin cells. The peel triggers a controlled shedding process revealing fresh, smoother skin underneath and encouraging cell turnover. Over time, this process softens scars and evens out skin tone.

Smoother Skin Texture: Chemical peels exfoliate the skin, helping to smooth irregular texture caused by scars.
Brightened Complexion: Peels enhance skin radiance by removing dead cells and encouraging new cell growth.
Improvement in Hyperpigmentation: Chemical peels can help lighten dark marks left behind by scars, especially effective for post-acne discoloration.

Chemical peels are available in varying strengths, with deeper peels providing more dramatic results but requiring longer recovery times. Based on your skin type and scar severity, the Aesthetic Visual Result team can recommend a peel tailored to deliver optimal results while ensuring skin safety.

Achieve The Best Results With A Tailored Treatment Plan

Both microneedling and chemical peels are effective methods for reducing the appearance of scars, but the right choice depends on individual factors like skin type, scar type, and desired outcome. A combination of treatments may even be recommended for some clients to achieve the best possible results. The team at Aesthetic Visual Result can guide you through the process, ensuring that each scar treatment is personalised to address your specific skin concerns.
