-
LADE offers regenerative skin treatments, advanced skin treatments, MCA inkless needling, PRF regenerative therapy, and paramedical camouflage tattooing for suitable scars, stretch marks, and areas of uneven pigmentation.
-
Some treatments can be booked directly, while specialist treatments such as MCA inkless needling, PRF, and paramedical camouflage require an assessment to confirm suitability and create an appropriate treatment plan.
-
MCA inkless needling is a pigment-free treatment that uses controlled needling to stimulate the skin’s natural repair response and improve the appearance of scar and stretch-mark texture over time.
-
Paramedical camouflage tattooing uses carefully selected pigments to help reduce the colour contrast between a scar, stretch mark, or area of uneven pigmentation and the surrounding skin.
-
PRF uses a concentrated preparation made from a small sample of your own blood to support the skin’s natural renewal process and improve the appearance of selected concerns over time.
-
PRF and PRP are both regenerative treatments made from your own blood, but PRF is prepared differently and does not use anticoagulants. This allows a natural fibrin matrix to form, which can provide a slower, more gradual release of platelets and growth factors.
-
The number of treatments varies according to the treatment selected, the condition of the skin, the size and maturity of the area, and your desired outcome; this will be discussed during your consultation.
-
Some changes may become noticeable as the skin heals, but regenerative and camouflage treatments develop gradually, and final results may take several weeks or months depending on the treatment and individual healing response.
-
Most treatments involve some degree of redness, sensitivity, swelling, or peeling, so you will receive specific aftercare instructions and guidance on activities, products, sun exposure, and follow-up care.
-
Treatment may not be suitable for everyone, including people with certain skin conditions, active infections, poor wound healing, some medical conditions, or areas that have not fully healed; suitability will be assessed before treatment.
