Acne Scars Treatment
Acne Scars result from abnormal collagen production during the skin’s healing process post active acne. Whilst it is difficult to treat, the appearance of such scarring can be vastly improved via treatments that produce new collagen fibres.
- Multi-modal approach fighting acne using a combination of treatments
- Significant results achievable results vary from patient to patient
Significant improvements to acne scars and the pigmentation
A multi-modal approach with Laser treatments, Skin Needling, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and Dermal Fillers will give the best results.
New collagen production can take up to 3 – 6 months for the full results*, so expect a gradual improvement in acne scarring over this time. Dermal fillers will provide a more instant result while waiting for the full effects of new collagen production. Acne scarring is difficult to treat however with a multi-modal approach vast improvements can be made.
Significant improvement in the appearance of the acne scar and the pigmentation can be seen as new collagen fibres are produced.
The downtime will vary from 1-3 days. The best results will be seen at 3months post treatment.
