Acne scars can sometimes last for years after the acne itself has cleared up. The effects of this can severely reduce the individual’s self-confidence.
Acne scarring can be very unpleasant and can last a lifetime. In fact, avoiding acne scarring is one of the main reasons for treating acne as early and effectively as possible.
Thankfully, advanced technologies are available to reduce the visibility of acne scars or, in some cases, eradicate them altogether.
Acne Scarring Treatment Options
There are a variety of acne scarring treatments available from Dr. Barbara Kubicka. Acne scarring can leave quite deep and irregular depressions in the skin, making it look rough. Acne scarring treatments work to stimulate the skin’s healing and promote stronger, healthier skin and can also troubleshoot deeper depressions through revolumisation of the skin.
Treatment options include:
- Dermapen or Dermastamp micro-needling
Micro-needling therapy uses micro-needles to puncture the surface of the skin, stimulating the production of collagen and promoting the skin’s own natural healing processes. - Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy involves tiny injections of specially chosen substances to heal and nourish the skin - Skin Peels
Skin peels, on the other hand, remove the surface layer of skin to reveal a smoother, stronger, undamaged layer beneath. - Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are an injectable cosmetic treatment which add volume into the skin. They are best known for their use in anti-ageing treatments – replenishing lost volume – but they are also potentially very useful for helping acne scarring and are particularly popular among older patients whose acne has cleared but left their skin ravaged and damaged. Dermal fillers can be used in a highly targeted treatment to gently add volume within the skin to smooth out the deep scars left by acne. Dr Barbara Kubicka uses the latest advanced temporary dermal fillers, which have excellent safety records. We do not offer permanent filler. - Restylane Skinboosters™
Designed to improve skin quality ‘smoothening from the inside’ with hydrating injections of hyaluronic acid - Profhilo – this injectable treatment enhances the quality of the skin, improving texture, complexion and radiance. It is designed to boost and hydrate the skin, improving its condition for visibly healthier looking skin
Choosing the right acne scarring treatment depends on ascertaining the nature and type of scarring involved.
