If you are on isotretinoin, wait six months after your last dose because the medication impairs the wound-healing response that Dermapen treatment depends on."},{"answer":"Yes, and this is one of the Dermapen's key advantages. Because it creates mechanical micro-injuries without generating heat, there is no risk of thermal damage to melanocytes — the cells that produce pigment.

Its vertical stamping action creates cleaner micro-channels than the roller's angled entry, reducing epidermal tearing.

At Claire Derma, early frontal recession typically requires 1,500 to 2,500 grafts, moderate loss covering the front and crown needs 2,500 to 3,500, and extensive Norwood V-VI patterns may require 4,000 to 5,000 or more across staged procedures.","id":"faq-new-2","question":"How many grafts will I need for my hair transplant?"},{"answer":"The best technique depends on your donor characteristics, graft requirement, and lifestyle preferences.

A facelift physically repositions and tightens the SMAS through incisions, producing dramatic correction of moderate to severe laxity. HIFU stimulates SMAS contraction and collagen remodelling non-invasively, producing mild to moderate tightening suitable for early sagging."},{"question":"Is the HIFU procedure painful?","id":"faq-new-2","answer":"Most patients describe HIFU as uncomfortable rather than painful — a brief tingling or prickling sensation as each pulse of energy is delivered, concentrated along the jawline and forehead where bone is closer to the surface.

The three-month wait allows your hormones and skin to stabilise and any residual swelling to resolve. Starting treatment while stretch marks are still in their red or purple phase is actually ideal because they respond better at this stage."},{"answer":"With topical anaesthetic applied 40 to 50 minutes before the session, most patients describe the sensation as moderate pressure with occasional pricking.

This reduces recurrence rates significantly compared to topical methods."},{"answer":"Most mole and wart removals are performed under local anaesthesia only, so you remain fully alert throughout and can drive yourself home.

Most patients at Claire Derma achieve a result where the revised scar is difficult to detect from conversational distance."},{"question":"What is Z-plasty and when is it recommended?","id":"faq-new-3","answer":"Z-plasty is a surgical technique where two triangular flaps are cut on either side of the scar and then transposed. This changes the scar's direction, lengthens it to relieve contracture, and breaks the linear pattern that makes straight scars conspicuous. It is recommended for scars that cross natural skin creases, restrict movement over joints, or pull on adjacent facial features."},{"answer":"Yes, and in many cases a combined approach produces the best outcome. At Claire Derma, scar revision surgery addresses the structural problems — width, orientation, contracture — while post-surgical treatments like pulsed-dye laser for redness, intralesional steroids for thickening, and fractional laser for texture refinement fine-tune the result.

PRP applied after fractional laser treatment delivers growth factors directly through the laser-created channels, accelerating healing and improving collagen quality during the recovery phase."},{"id":"faq-new-3","question":"How long before I see results from PRP for acne scars?","answer":"Collagen remodelling from PRP is gradual. Most patients notice initial texture improvements four to six weeks after the first session, with progressive smoothing over the following two to three months as new collagen matures. The full effect of a complete treatment course — typically three to five sessions — becomes apparent three to four months after the final session."},{"question":"Should I stop my acne medication before PRP scar treatment?","id":"faq-new-4","answer":"Most acne medications are compatible with PRP therapy, but there are exceptions. Isotretinoin (Accutane) should be discontinued at least six months before PRP treatment because it suppresses the skin's healing response that PRP depends on.
