What Is MCA Dry Needling?
Gone are the days of having to live with scars, burns and other such marks on our bodies. We’re very lucky these days that there are all sorts of different treatment options available when it comes to aesthetics and, generally, there’s always something you can try to help you get the results you want.
If you do have scarred areas that you’re keen to address but aren’t sure where to turn first, MCA dry needling could be a particularly good choice, a form of collagen induction therapy that is very successful at improving the appearance of your skin.
It’s important not to confuse this kind of medical procedure with dermaroller treatments or microneedling. With this kind of dry needling, tattoo needles are used to deliver precise and targeted treatment to the desired area before scar repair serums are applied to aid the healing process of the cells.
You can treat most types of scars in this way, apart from newer ones less than two years old and keloid scars, which are raised and enlarged, appearing after minor skin damage such as a piercing or acne. If your scar is still pink or red, it could still be healing and it’s best not to consider treatment until the healing process is complete.
The required healing time post-treatment will vary from person to person, but typically sessions can be carried out every six weeks or so. People with hyperpigmentation may take longer to heal, as can those with weaker immune systems and older people, as well.
Treating hyperpigmented skin can also result in the client having dark pigment in the affected areas for a few months, which is something to bear in mind if you are considering dry needling at the moment.
