Surgical scars can be a lasting reminder of a medical procedure, injury, or past condition. While they are a natural part of the healing process, many people seek ways to reduce their appearance and improve skin texture. The good news? Microneedling, also known as Dermapen treatment, is an advanced, non-surgical procedure that helps smooth, refine, and fade surgical scars—without the need for invasive treatments.

At Dr. Leah Clinics, we specialise in cutting-edge, non-surgical cosmetic treatments to help you achieve flawless skin safely and effectively. If you're searching for scar removal near me, you've come to the right place. In this blog, we’ll explore how microneedling can reduce surgical scars, why it’s one of the most effective scar treatment options, and how exosomes can accelerate the healing process.

How does microneedling help with surgical scars?

Microneedling is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that stimulates the skin’s natural healing response. Using a device such as Dermapen, microneedling creates tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This triggers collagen and elastin production, helping to break down old scar tissue and promote new, healthy skin cells. 

• Reduces scar depth and texture irregularities
• Stimulates collagen to smooth out uneven skin
• Improves skin elasticity and tone
• Minimally invasive with little to no downtime 

If you’re looking for scar removal in London, microneedling is one of the most effective and accessible scar treatment in London options available.

Surgical scars often appear thick, raised, or sunken. Microneedling works by gradually remodeling the scar tissue, encouraging the skin to regenerate itself for a smoother, more even complexion over time.

Microneedling for scars on the face and body

One of the key benefits of microneedling is its versatility it can be used to treat scars on both the face and body, wherever you have concerns. Whether you’re dealing with post-surgical scars on the abdomen, or acne scars on the face, microneedling can help improve the skin’s texture and appearance. This makes it an excellent option for those seeking comprehensive scar tissue therapy that works across multiple areas.

Microneedling vs. other scar reduction treatments

While treatments like scar laser treatment in London and chemical peels can also address surgical scars, microneedling offers unique advantages:

• Safe for all skin types– Unlike some laser scar removal in London treatments, microneedling is suitable for all skin tones with minimal risk of pigmentation changes.
• Minimal downtime– Unlike deeper peels or surgical scar revision, microneedling has a quick recovery period.
• Long-term collagen stimulation– The effects continue to improve over several months as new collagen forms.

For optimal results, microneedling can be combined with other scar tissue therapy treatments, such as Exosomes or PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy.

Exosome therapy: The ultimate skin regeneration boost

For those looking to accelerate healing and enhance their microneedling results, Exosome therapy is a game-changer. Exosomes are powerful cellular messengers derived from stem cells, designed to supercharge the skin’s repair process.

When applied after microneedling, exosomes:

• Reduce inflammation and speed up recovery
• Stimulate collagen production more effectively 
• Boost overall skin rejuvenation
• Improve skin texture and elasticity even faster  

Exosome therapy is an advanced addition to microneedling, ensuring faster, more noticeable improvements in surgical scars.

What to expect from microneedling for surgical scars?

Each treatment plan is tailored to your specific scar type and skin concerns. Typically, we recommend a course of 3-6 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, for optimal results. 

Immediately after the treatment, you may experience mild redness, similar to a light sunburn, which subsides within 24-48 hours.

Over the following weeks, new collagen forms, gradually improving the appearance of the scar.

Full results develop over several months, as the skin continues to regenerate.

Many clients who have undergone laser scar removal before and after comparisons find microneedling to be an effective, low-risk alternative to scar laser treatment experiences. Microneedling is a safe, effective, and clinically proven solution to improving the appearance of surgical scars without the need for invasive procedures.

Polynucleotide therapy involves the gentle injection of polynucleotides derived from salmon sperm into the skin where they promote the natural healing process. These molecules stimulate your skin’s cells to regenerate leading to improved hydration and increased collagen production. As a result your skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more resilient.

The treatment is minimally invasive, involves little to no downtime, and can be performed in a short, simple session at Dr Leah Clinic. It’s an ideal choice for women looking for an effective yet gentle way to fight signs of aging, without the need for surgery

Key Benefits of Polynucleotide Treatments

Anti-Aging Benefits

As we age, our skin’s collagen production decreases, leading to wrinkles, sagging, and loss of elasticity. Polynucleotide treatments are an excellent option for reversing these signs of aging. By stimulating collagen and elastin production, this treatment helps to:

• Smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.
• Firm and tighten the skin, reducing the sagging that naturally occurs with age.
• Restore a youthful, rejuvenated appearance.

Whether you’re in your 30s and noticing the first signs of aging or are seeking to maintain your youthful glow, polynucleotide therapy can help keep your skin looking fresh and vibrant.

Skin Hydration and Repair

As we age, our skin loses its natural moisture, leaving it looking dull and tired. Polynucleotide treatments are particularly effective at improving skin hydration. By enhancing the skin’s moisture retention capabilities, this treatment:

• Hydrates and plumps the skin, restoring a dewy, glowing complexion.
• Improves elasticity, reducing the appearance of fine lines and sagging.
• Repairs damaged skin cells, resulting in a smoother, more youthful texture.

If you’re looking for a treatment that leaves your skin feeling hydrated and revitalized, polynucleotide therapy can provide the deep hydration your skin needs.

Reduction in Dark Circles and Scarring

Uneven skin tone, dark circles, and scarring can be difficult to address with traditional skincare alone. Thankfully, polynucleotide treatments can help by promoting skin regeneration and evening out skin tone. This treatment helps to:

• Lighten dark spots and age spots for the under eye area giving your skin a more even tone.
• Reduce the appearance of scars, including acne scars and sun damage.
• Encourage regeneration of healthy skin cells, leading to a smoother complexion.

Whether you're struggling with acne scars or hyperpigmentation, polynucleotide therapy can help restore a more uniform, radiant complexion.

Who Should Consider Polynucleotide Treatments?

Polynucleotide treatments are ideal for women over 30 who are noticing the early signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and skin that lacks its previous firmness. If you’re looking for a non-surgical option to help tighten, hydrate, and rejuvenate your skin, polynucleotide therapy might be the perfect solution.

This treatment is also suitable for those who:

• Are seeking to improve skin texture and tone.
• Want a safe, effective, and non-invasive alternative to more invasive procedures.
• Are looking for a treatment that hydrates and rejuvenates the skin without downtime.

At Dr Leah Clinic, we’ll help you determine if polynucleotide therapy is right for you based on your specific skin concerns and aesthetic goals.

Are There Any Side Effects?

Side effects are rare, but you may experience mild redness or swelling at the injection site. These side effects typically subside within a few hours.

How Soon Will I See Results?
