It is generally known that collagen depletion causes wrinkles, lines
and folds, large pores marking the passage of time. What isn’t as
well known, however, is the role collagen depletion plays in the
formation of acne scars.
Acne scars are of many types, the more common one being Atrophic
scars, which occur as collagen is lost at the site of an acne ‘Injury’
and result in a depression stays visible over the long term.
The solution lies in restoring collagen in precise and controlled
manner at the site of the damage. This becomes the essential core
of a skin resurfacing plan. Collagen can be induced to regenerate by
deploying the process of Micro-Needling RF. This also creates a
channel for nutrients applied to the skin to be better absorbed by the
epidermis.
Micro-Needling RF is a well regarded treatment for skin
rejuvenation. Its pinpoint precision allows for an extraordinary
degree of control in the hands of an expert dermatologist. This is a
energy based device which uses surgical steel micro-needles, fixed
to probe which is powered by very sophisticated and safe energy
controlling device.
The depth to which the needles penetrate, can be manipulated
electronically, and they can be adjusted for a range of outcomes –
from enhancing nutrient absorption on the superficial layer to
penetrating deep down to treat scars and wrinkles.
At Curo Skin Clinic, Dr. Deepika Sarode ,best dermatologist in Mira
road provides the best Micro-Needling RF treatment.
How it works?
Its well known fact that a radiant skin has an underlying padding of
collagen which keeps it looking plumped, firm and smooth. Micro-
needling Radiofrequency device causes selective heating in the
deep dermis at the point of insertion of the micro-needles avoiding
damage (burning or pigmentation) of the upper skin layer i.e. the
epidermis. This creates shortening and tightening of the collagen
fibres, and stimulation of new collagen formation which increases
the underlying padding of collagen to raise the depressed scars and
improve the wrinkles and fine lines.
What you can expect?
Anaesthetic cream is always applied since the device is energy
based to make the procedure more comfortable. Effects start
appearing from the first session. Immediately after treatment the
treated area will appear red and slightly inflamed which settles in 3-
4 days. If uncomfortable, a cool ice pack is advised to be applied to
the area daily 2-3 times a day. As new collagen production is
stimulated skin starts appearing tightened, wrinkles and fine lines
reduce, acne scars or depressed scars, stretch marks and large
pores improve. Series of sessions placed at 3-5 week intervals are
required to achieve the expected results.
