Micro Punch Grafting

Micro Punch Grafting is an advanced dermatological technique offered at Kosmoderma to effectively treat scars, particularly acne scars. This minimally invasive procedure uses micro-sized punches to transplant healthy skin tissue into areas affected by scarring, promoting natural skin repair and achieving a smoother, more even texture.

What is Micro Punch Grafting?

Micro Punch Grafting involves the use of a specialized device that extracts tiny, circular sections of healthy skin tissue. These micro-skin grafts are then placed into scarred areas, stimulating the growth of new, healthy skin. This precise method targets individual scars, filling in the gaps and blending them with surrounding skin for a more even appearance. Micro Punch Grafting is particularly effective for pitted or boxcar scars, offering a safe and efficient way to rejuvenate the skin.

How Does It Work?

Our Micro Punch Grafting procedure begins with an in-depth consultation, where our specialists assess your skin type, scar type, and treatment goals. The procedure includes:

• Cleansing & Preparation: The treatment area is thoroughly cleansed to remove impurities and prepare the skin.
• Application of Local Anesthesia: To ensure a comfortable experience, a topical or local anesthetic is applied.
• Graft Extraction: Using a specialized punch tool, tiny grafts of healthy skin are extracted from a discreet area.
• Graft Placement: The grafts are precisely positioned into the scarred area to initiate natural healing and skin regeneration.

Types of Scars Treated with Micro Punch Grafting

Micro Punch Grafting is ideal for various types of scars, including:

• Acne Scars: Effective for depressed scars, including boxcars and ice-pick scars.
• Surgical Scars: Improves the appearance of small, localized surgical scars.
• Other Depressed Scars: Treats scars resulting from trauma or certain skin conditions.
