Scar removal is a procedure that utilises either RF microneedling and/or laser technology to reduce the appearance of scars resulting from acne, surgery, injuries, or other causes.
 
The Cynosure Potenza™ is the most versatile and advanced radiofrequency (RF) microneedling system available, combining the benefits of both RF energy and microneedling techniques.
 
The Potenza™ utilises small, ultra-fine needles to create microscopic punctures in the skin's surface. These needles deliver controlled radiofrequency energy into the deeper layers of the skin, promoting much greater collagen and elastin production than typical microneedling methods.
 
Laser light is ideal for targeting darkened or pigmented scars triggering a process called photothermolysis. This process helps to break down the scar tissue and stimulate the production of new collagen, promoting the growth of healthier skin cells.
 
At BHC Aesthetics we use the PicoSure Pro™ - the world’s most advanced picosecond laser. It is designed to deliver faster and more efficient results than its competitors.
 
The PicoSure Pro™ utilises a picosecond laser system, which emits ultra-short pulses of energy in picoseconds (trillionths of a second). This rapid delivery of energy allows for precise targeting with minimal damage to the surrounding tissue and effectively zero downtime.

 

Mild to moderate, a topical anaesthetic is applied prior to the procedure.

Anyone, unless pregnant or breastfeeding. 2 week interval required after any prior injectables in the treated area.

Minimal, depending on the intensity of the treatment and individual skin sensitivity.
After Potenza therapy, it is common to experience temporary redness, mild swelling, and pinpoint bleeding subsiding usually within a few hours.
