PRP and Microneedling for sunken scars and pitted scars

Reviewed by Dr. Hun Kim Thao

Scar Treatment in Ho Chi Minh has now become easier than before. PRP and Microneedling for acne scars has become popular among dermatologists as the miracle treatment. Check out our new article to find out how scar-forming and how to treat them easily.

How does the body form scars?

Acne scar treatment should start with an understanding of what causes scars which are a natural repairing mechanism of the body after acne inflammation. During the healing process, the body produces more collagen to strengthen skin structure. Whether acne leaves scars or not depends greatly on the skin’s ability to heal. If your skin is not treated properly, an acne scar may be your permanent reminder.

Scars are caused by an abnormal amount of tissue reproduced by the body. If the number of tissues produced is not enough, the consequence will be a pitted scar. Otherwise, the tissues will stack on top of each other and result in a raised scar.

Superior scar healing and skin rejuvenating abilities of PRP

The most common scar treatment in Ho Chi Minh for scars are invasive and non-invasive lasers, dermabrasion, chemical peel, micro-needling with stem cells, and micro-needling with PRP.

This last acne scar treatment is the most highly evaluated for its acne treatment and skin rejuvenating benefits. This is because it stimulates the body’s natural healing mechanism. PRP and microneedling for acne scars has become the leading cosmetic solution in Ho Chi Minh City because:

• Its ability to boost the growth and reproduction of skin cells
• Its collagen production boosting benefits, thus reducing the risks and improving the appearance of atrophic scars
• Its hydrating and elasticity boosting properties
• PRP Treatments also plump up existing wrinkles and indentations. It also restricts the formation of new wrinkles and defends the skin against harmful oxidants.

However, clients seeking help with their scars must exercise caution. Microneedling can cause inflammation if not performed correctly or safely. In worst cases, it can cause additional skin damage if not expertly performed. The dermatologists at Grace Skincare Clinic strongly advise that you only visit well-known dermatology clinics or hospitals staffed by seasoned dermatologists to guarantee the safety and effectiveness of the procedure.

Additionally, some spas or beauty centers reuse derma rollers, which is very dangerous for the spreading of infection. Dermarollers are only intended to be used once and then discarded. If reused, the needles have become less sharp which causes the skin to tear and the treatment will not yield the best skin results.

The PRP method’s mechanism of action

PRP micro-needling is a special method that creates micro-wounds on the skin. After the micro-needling process, the dermatologist will use a gel-like platelet-rich plasma solution to stimulate the collagen production process and fill up acne scars. Microneedling with PRP is a medical procedure that must be performed by a skilled technician, with strong knowledge of the skin and, preferably, with experience in treating acne and acne scar tissues.

At Grace Skincare Clinic, when starting the procedure, our licensed and trained nursing staff will withdraw about 20 ml of blood from the customer’s arm. The blood sample will be placed in a medical centrifuge to extract the platelet-rich plasma.

This plasma is rich in growth hormones and cytokines which are released by the platelets. They are vital helpers with wound healing and improving skin structure because they produce collagen, keratin, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.

What does Dr. Hun Kim Thao at Grace Skincare Clinic think about PRP micro-needling?

“PRP technology combined with micro-needling is among the most effective and safest treatment methods for atrophic scar treatment and acne scar treatment. At Grace Skincare Clinic, this is the best medical combination preferred by both our dermatology team and our clients for its wonderful skin results. PRP stimulates natural healing mechanisms of the body and blood circulation, so it is very safe and well consumed by the body. In addition to the wonderful natural healing benefits of micro-needling with PRP, we also have tremendous results for other cosmetic concerns such as improving the appearance of wrinkles, skin texture, and elasticity, as well as hair loss for both women and men.”
