Comprehensive care for acne scarring — medical consultations, prescriptions where necessary, and RF microneedling and laser treatments to reduce scarring, under the supervision of one of our physicians.
Which of these is right for you is a decision for your physician, made at your consultation once they have assessed your skin — this page is a starting point, not a diagnosis.
RF Microneedling
The Potenza RF microneedling system adds radiofrequency energy to mechanical microneedling for enhanced skin tightening alongside the benefits of micro-injury stimulation.
RF energy is delivered through small needles into the dermis, heating the underlying layers to stimulate collagen and elastin production and support skin tightening. Treatments are not limited to the face and may help with skin laxity after weight loss. Results vary.
PRP used topically or via microinjections to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, improve tone and elasticity, and reduce the appearance of acne scars and pigmentation.
Platelet-rich plasma prepared from the patient's own blood is applied to the skin or delivered by microinjections. Platelet-derived growth factors may support collagen production and skin renewal; results vary.
Typically around 30 minutes. A topical anaesthetic is applied and can take up to 45 minutes to become fully effective.
How it feels
A topical numbing agent removes most of the discomfort. Most patients say they can feel the needles working but do not find it painful. A member of the clinical team stays with you throughout, and treatment can be stopped at any point.
Downtime
Downtime is usually minimal. Redness, minor swelling and pinpoint bleeding can occur and typically settle within three days. Minor bumps or, rarely, micro-crusting can also occur. Contact the clinic if you have concerns about your recovery.
Aftercare
Avoid strenuous exercise and sun exposure for 48 hours after treatment. Follow your clinician's instructions about sunscreen and other skin care products before resuming your usual routine.
Results
Some changes may be noticeable soon after treatment, with gradual improvement over several weeks and treatments. More than one session is usually recommended.
Suggested course
Three- and five-session packages are recommended to build and maintain firmer, refreshed-looking skin.
PRP Skin Rejuvenation
How long a session takes
30 to 60 minutes depending on the treatment area.
Suggested course
Most people benefit from a series of 3–4 treatments spaced a few weeks apart; maintenance sessions may be recommended.
With a medical consultation — from there, a physician may recommend a prescription where necessary, alongside treatments like RF microneedling and laser.
