Skin concern
Acne Scars & Texture
Acne scars can linger long after breakouts have settled. Different scar types respond to different approaches, so planning is everything.
Understanding
What's happening in the skin.
Scars form when inflammation damages collagen — creating rolling, boxcar or ice-pick scars, or raised scarring in some cases.
Post-inflammatory marks (flat red or brown discolouration) are different from true textural scars and are often treated differently.
Our approach
- Microneedling to support collagen remodelling.
- Fractional CO₂ laser resurfacing for more pronounced texture.
- Micropuncture scar reduction for targeted areas.
- A planned course with realistic milestones.

Frequently asked
Can scars be completely removed?
We avoid promising complete removal. Many people see a meaningful improvement in texture over a course.
Should breakouts be controlled first?
Generally, yes. Active acne is usually addressed before scar treatments begin.
