Piercing scar?
« on: February 19, 2013, 08:53:10 AM »
Hello Sarah! I tried the search but did not find my answer so please excuse me if this question has already been answered.

I had a piercing in my upper lip made by a professional piercer four years ago and decided to loose it last summer. It was made with an average size needle (1.6mm) for this sort of piercing. So the needle cuts away some of the tissue. The scar that is left is sort of a small half circle diagonally maybe 1 mm. Do you know what can be done to this type on scar? Does needleing help at all?

Here's a link to a picture of a scar very similar to mine.( These are not my pictures, this is just the first good picture I came across at google, tell me if its against the rules to link this here then I will delete this part) https://http://www.theblackpearlblog.com/2012/11/my-everyday-look-and-thoughts-on-face.html?m=1
Thank you so much for your time in advance!

The problem with piercing is that the skin around the piercing often becomes atrophied and as a result there emerges a hole larger in diameter than the original piercing.

I suggest a 1.5 mm dermastamp with 35 needles. Stamp the scar densely every three weeks. The dermastamp will crush the scar tissue and trigger new collagen growth. There is a good chance the hole will soften and fill in or partially fill in.
