What treatment helps with facial scars?
Dr. Tanya Perich here at Perich Aesthetics says,
“Honestly, the best thing for facial scarring is Morpheus8- it has to do with the influx of collagen to the area following the treatment and the remodeling of the face through the microneedling and radiofrequency used. Follow this with medical grade skin care to increase the cellular turnover. We see amazing results with this!”
Ok, so what is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is a fractional treatment that penetrates deep into the skin and stimulates collagen production for a smoother and sleeker appearance. Morpheus8 treatments combine microneedling with radiofrequency energy to remodel and contour the face and it can also be used on the body.
Specifically, Morpheus8 is a device that penetrates the deeper layers of the skin, which then causes the building blocks to reorganize themselves in a natural anti-aging process. There is little to no damage to the dermis and this procedure provides an extremely uniform effect. The device utilizes a matrix of tiny sterile pins to prick deep into the surface of the skin- this is called microneedling.
In addition to the microneedling, what makes Morpheus8 unique is the use of radiofrequency. Radiofrequency (RF) energy heats the deep layers of the skin in a controlled manner to revitalize the collagen. This treatment helps to improve skin complexion and texture for a more radiant and youthful appearance.
By pricking the skin deep while heating the area up in a controlled manner, the skin begins to remodel while the body is triggered to produce more collagen in the area.
Why is collagen production important?
Collagen is an important protein that is the key to maintaining that plump look to the skin needed to avoid sagging.
Over time our bodies naturally decrease the production of collagen. Boosting the body’s natural production of collagen allows the body to do the heavy lifting and makes for long lasting results. Collagen is a structural protein that makes up between 25-35% of the bodies protein as a whole. It is actually the most abundant and powerful protein in the body.
Collagen is found in our skin, hair, nails, blood- it’s everywhere! As a key structural protein, collagen is the reason our skin has elasticity and our joints are healthy by binding tissue in the body. The word collagen actually comes from the Greek word “kólla” which means glue and collagen is often referred to the body’s glue or scaffolding.
Why does increasing your collagen production benefit your skin?
This also means that it will be less obvious to people in your life to visibly see you have had any procedures done, as the body will begin producing more collagen on its own over a period of time. By increasing collagen while remodeling, the scar area is slowly but surely healing the area each day. With scar healing, multiple treatments are likely as the damage is much deeper, however Dr. Perich will be able to help you identify just what needs to be done as each scar is unique.
