Acne Scar Treatment: Smoother Skin with Expert Care

Acne scars can be a lasting reminder of previous breakouts, often appearing as unwanted marks or uneven skin texture long after the acne itself has cleared. These scars vary in shape and severity, and for many patients they can affect confidence as well as appearance. With the right approach, however, smoother skin is achievable.

At our clinic, acne scar treatment begins with a thorough consultation. An expert dermatologist will carefully assess your scars in person before recommending the most effective treatment plan. This tailored approach ensures that the chosen techniques are suited to the type and severity of your scars.

Common treatment options include:

• Chemical peels to refresh and resurface the skin

• Microneedling to stimulate collagen production and improve texture

• IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) for discolouration and redness

• Serial microdroplet silicone for targeted scar revision

There are several types of acne scars, each requiring a different treatment approach. Atrophic scars are the most common and can present in three main forms:

• Boxcar scars – broad with defined edges

• Ice pick scars – narrow and deep, tapering into the skin

• Rolling scars – sloping, uneven depressions

These are most often found on the face. Hypertrophic and keloid scars, on the other hand, are caused by an overproduction of scar tissue and appear as raised lumps. These tend to occur more frequently on the jawline, chest, and back.

With a variety of advanced techniques available, acne scars can be significantly reduced, leading to clearer and smoother skin. A personalised treatment plan is the key to achieving the best results and restoring confidence in your complexion.
