Acne, trauma and injuries may leave behind scars, the appearance of which will be influenced by the size of the wound, your age, heredity, health and complexion. We offer treatments that can significantly reduce the size of scars, and even potentially remove them, as well as treatments for stretch marks.
How we can help
Radiofrequency skin rejuvenation
Our radiofrequency skin rejuvenation treatments achieve excellent results with scarring and stretch marks. The Secret™ Microneedle Fractional Radiofrequency System lifts, tightens and rejuvenates skin. The combination of radiofrequency and needling induces collagen production within the dermis and tightens elastin fibres. This treatment can be used on all skin types.
DermaPen Skin Needling
Needling improves skin texture and can help with the appearance of surgical, trauma or acne-related scarring, as well as stretch marks. During this treatment, we use a sterile, single-use, pen-like device with adjustable fine surgical steel micro-needles to create hundreds of tiny punctures in the skin. As these micro-needles penetrate the upper (epidermis) and lower (dermis) layers of the skin, they cause controlled microscopic wounds and pin-point bleeding. This process encourages the body’s own wound healing response, which results in an increase in activity of fibroblasts (collagen-producing cells). This in turn, helps improve skin texture and overall appearance.

When will you notice a change after DermaPen Skin Needling?
You can expect some redness and swelling for the first 24 to 48 hours, and it’s normal for your skin to feel warm and tight. If scarring is being treated, localised superficial bruising may occur.A hydrating moisturiser or balm is recommended to aid the flaking of surface skin cells and lessen dry skin for five to seven days after the treatment.Results may vary from person to person, but typically, you’ll notice an improvement after the first treatment. Lasting and more significant results will occur after several sessions.
How many sessions are usually required?
We usually recommend a course of three to six treatments of DermaPen Skin Needling for optimal results. These are usually spaced four to six weeks apart.
