What is MCA Needling?
MCA needling is an abbreviation of Multi-Trepannic Collagen Actuation. It is a medical procedure for the treatment of scars using tattoo needles. Formally it was known as MCA Dry Needling but legislation changes in the UK means the treatment must be performed with the use of a product, such as sterile Hyaloronic Acid. At Ink Illusions we actually use a meso cocktail made especially for scar repair, which helps further still with scar repair. It is a common mistake that MCA needling is the same as Microneedling. MCA needling is more targeted and invasive, leading to much better results in the treatment if scars, compared to microneedling.
