Acne Scars

Understanding Acne Scars

While acne itself fades, its aftermath can remain etched on your skin in the form of:

• Rolling scars: Indentations or depressions in the skin, resembling rolling hills.
• Boxcar scars: Broad, U-shaped depressions with sharp edges.
• Ice pick scars: Deep, narrow channels or pits in the skin.
• Hypertrophic scars: Raised, thickened scars that protrude from the skin’s surface.

These scars can be caused by:

• Severe acne inflammation: Deeper inflammation during breakouts damages collagen and elastin, leading to scar formation.
• Picking or squeezing pimples: This can further damage the skin and worsen scarring.
• Genetics: Some individuals are more prone to scarring than others.

Our Tailored Approach

At Derma Aesthetics London, we believe in a personalised approach to acne scar treatment. During your consultation, our experienced cosmetic doctors will assess the type, depth, and extent of your scars. We’ll also understand your skin type, medical history, and desired outcome. Based on this comprehensive evaluation, we’ll recommend the most suitable treatment or combination of treatments for you.

Treatment Options

We offer a wide range of minimally invasive and non-surgical acne scar treatments, including:

• Microneedling: Tiny punctures in the skin stimulate collagen production, filling in depressions and smoothing scar tissue.
• Fractional Lasers: Laser beams target scar tissue, promoting collagen growth and resurfacing the skin for a smoother appearance.
• Dermal Fillers: Fillers injected into scars can lift and plump sunken areas, creating a more even skin texture.
• Chemical Peels: Exfoliating peels remove dead skin cells and stimulate collagen production, improving the overall appearance of scars.
• Subcision: This minimally invasive technique releases tethered scars trapped below the skin, reducing their visibility.

Beyond the Treatments

For optimal results and long-term success, we go beyond the treatment itself. We may recommend:

• Skincare regimen: Tailored skincare products support your skin’s health and prevent further scarring.
• Sun protection: Sun exposure can worsen scars, so daily sunscreen is essential.
• Dietary and lifestyle modifications: Managing stress and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can further optimize your skin’s healing process.
