Facial Scars
Facial scars can be perceived as annoying especially if they are prominent or located in prominent areas of the face such as cheeks or forehead. They can alter the symmetry and appearance of the face making individuals feel self-conscious about their appearance and may affect their self-esteem.
Facial scars due to acne, trauma or surgeries can be addressed through cosmetic intervention. At Blossom Dental, we utilize Microneedling with PRF, a natural, minimally invasive treatment for facial scars. It is a cosmetic procedure combining microneedling with platelet rich fibrin derived from patient’s own blood.
Microneedling with PRF stimulates collagen production and promotes skin remodeling resulting in smoother, enhanced skin texture and appearance. During procedure, a device with fine needles, Derma pen, is used to create tiny punctures into the skin. These punctures are then filled with PRF (platelet rich fibrin) which is rich in growth factors enhancing healing process, improving skin texture and promoting skin rejuvenation.
Effectiveness of microneedling depends on individual’s type of skin, Severity of scars and overall health.
