The Skiin Approach

Rebuilding skin where it healed

A scar is collagen that healed in a hurry — a quick, disorganised repair the body made to close a wound. Stretch marks are the same idea: rapid stretching that left the skin's structure disrupted. Both respond to the same principle: give the skin a reason to remodel properly.

That's what our treatments do. SkinPen microneedling triggers collagen-remodelling that softens and flattens surgical and acne scars. Radiofrequency microneedling adds deep heat through microchannels to remodel stubborn scars and stretch marks. And LaseMD Ultra gently resurfaces, blending scar texture with surrounding skin.

Your doctor selects and layers these based on the type of scarring you have — because a pitted acne scar, a raised surgical scar and a stretch mark each need a different plan.

The Result

Smoother, softer, blended

  • Scars softened and flattened
  • Stretch marks remodelled over time
  • Texture blended with surrounding skin
  • Confidence in your skin again

Results build gradually over months as your own collagen remodels — reviewed with your doctor at each stage.

FAQs

Scar & stretch mark questions

Yes. Collagen-remodelling treatments work by stimulating your skin to rebuild — which means even long-standing surgical scars, acne scarring and stretch marks can be softened, flattened and blended with surrounding skin.

It depends on the scar. SkinPen microneedling softens and flattens surgical and acne scars; radiofrequency microneedling adds deep heat to remodel stubborn scars and stretch marks; LaseMD Ultra gently blends scar texture with surrounding skin. Your doctor layers these based on what your skin needs.

Scarring and stretch marks respond to a course of treatment rather than a single session — your doctor plans the course and reviews progress as collagen remodels between visits.

Microneedling and radiofrequency treatments are well tolerated, with comfort managed throughout. Your doctor will talk you through exactly what to expect at your consultation.

Results build gradually over months rather than days, because the improvement comes from your own collagen remodelling. Reviews with your doctor track the change and adjust the plan.

Often, yes — microneedling and laser resurfacing treat both — but the depth, technique and layering differ. That's why every scar plan at Skiin starts with a doctor's assessment rather than a fixed menu.

Cost depends on the area treated and the course your doctor prescribes. Everything is discussed transparently at consultation before you commit to anything.
