Acne Scarring
Reduce the appearance of acne scars and restore smoother, clearer skin with advanced treatments designed to improve texture, refine pores and stimulate natural collagen production for long-lasting skin rejuvenation.
TEXTURAL REPAIR
Remodeling & Resurfacing Acne Scarring
Active acne is a temporary inflammatory phase, but the structural scars it leaves behind can alter the skin's surface for years. Acne scarring is a complex, multi-layered structural concern where the skin’s natural healing process has produced either too little collagen (resulting in depressions) or too much (resulting in raised tissue). True correction requires looking past the surface to remodel the underlying dermal framework and restore smooth light-reflection.
The 4 Common Types of Acne Scars
Ice Pick Scars
Deep, very narrow, and pitted depressions that extend vertically into the deep dermis, appearing as though the skin was punctured by a sharp instrument.
Boxcar Scars
Round or oval depressions with sharp, steep, well-defined vertical edges that mimic chickenpox scars.
Rolling Scars
Wide, shallow depressions that create a wave-like, undulating texture across the cheeks or jawline, caused by fibrous bands pulling the skin downward.
Hypertrophic & Keloidal Scars
Raised, firm bumps of scar tissue that develop when the body overproduces dense collagen during the wound-healing phase.
The Science of Textural Revision
True acne scar revision is rarely achieved with a single device. Because a single face often exhibits a combination of scar types at varying depths, our clinical approach relies on Multi-Modality Remodeling:
Breaking Fibrous Tethers
For rolling scars, the underlying anchor bands pulling the skin down must be mechanically released to allow the surface to lift.
Stimulating Dermal Neocollagenesis
Deep depressions require targeted thermal or mechanical injuries to force fibroblasts to deposit brand-new, organized collagen fibers.
Ablating Sharp Edges
For boxcar and icepick scars, the sharp, shadowed borders must be gently vaporized or blended to make the skin surface uniformly smooth.
Erbium YAG Resurfacing Laser
Transform your skin with advanced Erbium YAG Laser Resurfacing, a precise skin rejuvenation treatment designed to improve texture, tone, and overall skin quality. By gently removing damaged outer skin layers, this treatment effectively reduces fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, pigmentation, and sun damage while encouraging healthy new skin growth.
Our expert-led approach combines advanced laser technology with personalised treatment plans to deliver natural-looking, long-lasting results. Suitable for the face, neck, chest, and hands, Erbium YAG resurfacing stimulates collagen production, leaving your skin smoother, firmer, brighter, and more youthful with minimal downtime and exceptional precision.
Skin Microneedling with Mesotherapy
Microneedling is exceptional at improving skin health and vibrancy
Microneedling alone is a great way to increase skin quality. It works by inducing microtrauma to the skin. For even better results, we routinely incla pre-treatment antioxidant serum and post treatment mesotherapy masque.
RF Microneedling
Reveal smoother, firmer, and healthier-looking skin with advanced RF Microneedling, a cutting-edge treatment that combines precision microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate deep collagen and elastin production. This innovative technology targets fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, skin laxity, and uneven texture while improving overall skin tone and firmness.
Unlike traditional microneedling, RF Microneedling delivers controlled heat beneath the skin's surface, enhancing skin tightening and rejuvenation from within. Suitable for the face, neck, and body, this minimally invasive treatment offers noticeable improvements with minimal downtime, leaving your skin refreshed, lifted, and naturally radiant.
Advanced Structural Therapies
We design bespoke treatment plans that combine mechanical, thermal, and biostimulatory solutions depending on your specific scar profile.
- Fractional Laser Resurfacing
- Delivers micro-beams of laser energy to vaporize microscopic columns of scar tissue, forcing the skin to shed its damaged borders and rebuild smooth, flawless tissue.
- Deep boxcar scars, stubborn ice pick pits, and overall textural smoothing.
- RF Microneedling & Subcision
- Subcision mechanically releases deep, tethered scar bands, while radiofrequency (RF) microneedling delivers heat deep into the dermis to tighten and plump rolling depressions from within.
- Deep rolling scars and restoring a uniform contour to the cheeks and jawline.
- TCA Cross (Chemical Reconstruction of Skin Scars)
- The precise application of high-concentration Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) directly inside deep, narrow pits to intentionally trigger a localized, rapid burst of collagen synthesis.
- Narrow, deep ice pick scars that lasers cannot easily reach.
Reclaim Your Skin’s Natural Texture
Acne scars reside beneath the surface, meaning over-the-counter serums simply cannot bridge the structural gap. Let our clinical practitioners design a targeted, progressive treatment plan that fits your lifestyle, downtime availability, and aesthetic goals.
