Here’s why our patients trust us:
Acne scarring happens when your skin produces too much collagen while healing from acne. It can get worse if pimples are popped. Different types of scars include rolling, ice-pick, and boxcar scars, and each type needs different treatments. Redness and pigmentation can also occur after inflammation and may last for years, which can be treated with our laser therapies.
With our personalised acne scar treatments, most people see a 70-80% improvement. During your free consultation, our expert cosmetic doctor will discuss what results you can expect.
We use several types of lasers, including:
Fractional lasers create tiny columns in your skin to treat scars. The laser stimulates collagen production, which helps renew and tighten scar tissue. This treatment has less downtime and gives similar results to more intense lasers.
The treatment is minimally uncomfortable. We use numbing cream, and cold compresses can help with any discomfort. After the treatment, you might feel a sunburn sensation for a day or two.
Laser resurfacing is very safe with rare risks. Redness or a sunburn-like sensation is common, and sometimes blistering can occur, but it heals quickly. Rarely, people with darker skin may experience pigmentation changes
Downtime varies depending on the laser used. Typically, you’ll experience 2-7 days of redness and mild discomfort. More aggressive treatments may have longer recovery times.
Usually, 3-5 treatments spaced 1-2 months apart will be needed. The exact number depends on your skin type, the severity of your scars, and your tolerance for downtime.
Radiofrequency skin needling uses tiny needles to deliver energy deep into the skin, treating acne scars without damaging the outer layers. It’s great for severe scars and delivers better results than fractional lasers.
There’s minimal discomfort with this treatment when numbing cream is applied. You can also use happy gas (nitrous oxide) and cold compresses to reduce any discomfort.
Expect mild redness and swelling for 1-2 days after the treatment. It’s much quicker than fractional lasers, which can take 3-5 days to heal.
Yes, subcision cuts through the scar tissue, which allows the skin to lift and smooth out over time
You’ll start seeing improvement in 2-4 weeks, with full results in 3 months.
