Sharon LeFore - Owner & Expert on MCA


Before MCA treatment.

1 Month After MCA treatment.


Sharon completed extensive training in the field of Multitrepannic Collagen Actuation or MCA as it is known in the business. Can you help me with my Scar? This is the question that drove Sharon to seek help for her clients. Finding out that there is only a handful of practitioners that currently offer MCA further fueled her desire to solve this problem for her clients. It’s important to realize that no scar can be removed completely, and here are several ways to make scars less obvious and improve their appearance. Multitrepannic Collagen Actuation or Dry Needling refers to a procedure where the effect of the healing process results in a visible change or scar remodeling. Plastic Surgeons Dr. Camirand and Dr. Des Fernandes have written articles on Dry Needling using the method since the late 1980’s to soften and stretch scars following face lifts with noted improvement in the scar and its color. The result in most cases is a smooth flat scar that is less noticeable and the return of pigment (color) to some of the lighter scars. MCA is an entirely natural way of getting the body’s own cells to regenerate and get rid of wrinkles. MCA is a practically-painless, completely risk-free alternative to injecting muscle relaxants such as Botox. Although MCA uses a very fine needle, nothing is injected and the treatment causes a micro-trauma to the skin, in order to force it into a state of self repair. Our bodies are equipped with a DNA system and, when injured, the body sends out the correct signals and tools which enable it to repair itself and heal. Some patients notice the benefit after just one treatment; others may require up to three treatments, one month apart. As you puncture the skin, you create a wound which heals in three phases inflammation, proliferation and tissue remodeling. When the needle enters the skin, it starts the inflammation phase. Fibroblasts cells that give rise to connective tissue, move into the affected area and start to produce collagen and elastin to help the healing process. Although the procedure does damage the skin and cause minor bleeding, the skin is essentially regenerating itself. Following a treatment, the patient is left with a fine red scratch mark, which forms a scab and heals within 5-7 days. Away from the face, MCA is also excellent for treating stretch marks or other body scars it can also be used to help soften scars caused by less than perfect face lift surgery. One great advantage of MCA over other similar treatments is that is does not cause any permanent damage to the skin and the healing phase. Call for consultantion appointment.
