Acne Scars

When will the results of the Acne Scar treatment be seen?

Removing acne scars, especially on more mature people, can take a number of treatments. The age of the acne scars also plays a big part. The older the scar, the less likely to get totally smooth, resurfaced skin after treatment. However, you will notice a significant difference.

No matter what type of acne scar you have or your age and skin type, it is advisable to have LED light therapy to speed up the healing process of your treatment. Your results are always better with LED.

We have been successfully treating the various types of acne scarring since 2008 and are renowned for our extensive knowledge and correct treatment for particular scars. A free consultation is a good starting point.

We can treat acne scars on the common areas of the back, chest, and, most commonly, the face. The end results are the same

With DMK there is no discomfort. With micro-needling/skin-needling, there is a little discomfort. However, the numbing cream offered before the treatment nullifies any real discomfort.

We would recommend that you remove any makeup or sun cream. We ask that you take no prescribed medication for at least 3 hours before your appointment time.

Ice Pick and Box scarring are caused by more aggressive and severe acne. Micro-needling would be recommended for both ice pick and box scarring. This method of treatment produces more collagen and produces is quicker. In doing this the skin becomes plumper and fuller and flattens out the scars. We would then recommend LED light therapy. LED will help heal, strengthen, and hydrate the skin.

It will last up to 90 minutes.

Immediately after the treatment, some redness may be visible for up to 48 hours. This is perfectly normal and nothing to be worried about. We advise you to stay out of direct sunlight for the first 48 hours and wear SPF 50 sun cream as advised by a senior skin therapist at the clinic.

Acne scar treatment works in two ways. With DMK we use the scar revision technique. This involves the use of enzyme hydrolisation and a mix of other solutions and safe paraben-free acids. These may be alkaline solutions and mild to moderate skin peels. We may just use micro-needling or skin-needling. The hundreds of tiny needles placed on the skin cause the skin to immediately wish to heal. This produces new cell turnover and new skin. The new skin produced over time, flattens the scar, causing is to diminish and often vanish.

Acne scars do not go away on their own; they need help to disappear. Those older, more sunken, or depressed acne scars actually become more noticeable with age. Once the collagen and elastin levels get lower, it is that much harder for the skin to be strong and plump. Thankfully, the skin clinic has treatments that are able to reduce and even remove acne scars over the months of treatment. It is really important to come to us as soon as you feel an acne scar is permanent. The younger your skin, the more likely you will get cell turnover and renewal. By having these positive factors, the treatments will work quicker and the endults will be better.

It very much depends on the age of the acne scars, your skin type, your skin tone, the severity of the acne scars, and the type of acne scars. It also depends on the ability of your skin to regenerate collagen and elastin to produce new skin cells. It is possible that some or all of the scars can be removed, but one is always realistic about the time frames that may be required to achieve this.
