WHAT IS ACNE SCARRING TREATMENT?

Acne scarring treatments use advanced techniques — such as laser resurfacing, microneedling, chemical peels, or radiofrequency — to improve skin texture and reduce the visibility of scars left behind by acne. These treatments stimulate collagen production, resurface the skin, and help smooth uneven areas for a clearer complexion.

COMMON SCAR TYPES TREATED:

  • Atrophic (indented) scars including ice pick box and rolling scars
  • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
  • Uneven skin texture
  • Shallow to moderate scarring
  • Red or dark marks from past breakouts

Process

What to Expect

The chosen treatment creates controlled micro-injuries or removes damaged skin layers, triggering the body's natural healing response. New collagen and elastin form, gradually filling in scars and smoothing texture. Multiple sessions are usually needed for progressive improvement.

Treatment time

30–90 minutes

Pain level

moderate — numbing cream is typically applied

Downtime

moderate; redness swelling or peeling may last 3–7 days

When results appear

4–6 weeks

Full results

3–6 months

Longevity

6–12 months with ongoing improvement

Look and feel

smoother more even skin texture with reduced scars and improved tone

When I met Chloe in 2015, I was experiencing acne, scarring and uneven skin tone. Chloe recommended Accumax and the environ skin product range. WOW I was impressed!!! Amazing results within a few months of using the environ range and absolutely love the products and I still use them religiously! I highly recommend Skinroom! Thank you Chloe…..I never have to worry about bad skin again.

I have been a client of Dr Romans for a number of years now and I cant say enough good things about him- I trust him completely. Recently he has helped me with a very bad c-section scar. His expertise and advanced techniques have completely transformed the scar, something I will be forever grateful for. I can’t recommend Dr Roman more , I always feel so much better after seeing him and wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Visited the Azfi medical aesthetics for long term acne and post acne scarring . Dr Alam listened to our issues keenly before explaining the treatment options. He took great care of hygiene as well as comfort during the session. Overall, we had great experience and i would recommend this clinic.

The team at Self has done an incredible job with my acne and scarring, I am so grateful. I have had several wonderful consultations with Dr. Mahto and two Profhilo treatments with her, as well as several BBL + Clearsilk sessions with Katie and two HALO + BBL laser sessions with Emma. Everyone has been so warm and helpful, and my results are incredible. Would highly recommend this clinic to everyone.

I came to Self London to reduce the appearance of scarring after working with the incredible team at Self London to clear up my acne around 18 months ago. The team are amazing and they made me feel completely confident and comfortable throughout the laser treatment process. I honestly couldn’t recommend Self London enough. The level of care and expertise is outstanding. A huge thank you to Dr Mahto, Dr Keigwin, Katie and the rest of the team!

Having been insecure most of my life following battles with acne and pigmentation, Dr Adel is very knowledgeable of medications and techniques to help you get the look you want. A look for me that is very subtle and natural. Dr Adel never pushes for more and simply follows your lead and direction. The top up sessions are also great for after care. You can tell Dr Adel cares for his patients and only wants them to feel the best version of themselves.

I went to Dr. Fareeha for help with my acne, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience so far. She gave me an appointment really quickly, was super friendly, and took the time to clearly explain the treatment plan. I felt comfortable right away, and I’m excited to see how things progress. Highly recommend!
