How to fade burn scars - before and after treatment
This is a perfect example of how to fade burn scars with radiofrequency microneedling.
I am always in awe of my clients that come for treatment, with childhood burns, as they are complex scars and most clients have undergone skin grafts and multiple surgeries.
My lovely client had 5 sessions of radiofrequency microneedling, to achieve this incredible result. The redness around the outside of the scar is from the tape where she pre-numbed her skin before her treatment, which I’ve just noticed, looks like a heart shape!
The results speak for themselves. We may well do some more treatments, as her skin was responding so well. Currently having a little break, so that we can see how it looks in 12 weeks time, after her skin has finished improving – as you still see incremental benefits for 3-6 months after your final treatment.
Are scar improvement results permanent?
