Acne scars can be a lifelong reminder of a teenage skin condition. Acne scars occur as the skin heals from the pimples, blackheads and whiteheads that form when oil, bacteria and dead cells get stuck below the skin’s surface, causing acne breakouts.
Acne scars can be typically shaped as indented marks or raised, red areas on the skin that sometimes give the it a wavy or mottled appearance.
At Dr. MediSpa in Loughton and Marylebone, our clinicians are renowned for exceptional results with acne scarring. We offer a wide range of treatments to smooth out acne scarring so you can finally be free of the reminder of acne.
About Subcision for acne scars
TCA cross peel – ‘Chemical reconstruction of skin scars’ which can successfully treat atrophic, hypertrophic or keloid scars.
Subcision – performed using a special hypodermic needle inserted through a puncture in the skin surface.
Punch and float – involves punching out the scar and replacing the removed core with a core taken from another area, usually from behind the ear.
Excision – a surgical procedure which uses a punch or scalpel to excise the scar.
Ipixel laser – A specially designed laser creates tiny wounds on the face which stimulates collagen production and smooths out and resurfaces the skin.
Fractora – this treatment delivers radio frequency energy to the skin through several tiny pins which produce localized heat and small ‘micro-lesion’ dots in the treatment area, creating a healing response and increasing collagen production.
Morpheus8 – this device uses radio-frequency energy and microneedling to heat the underlying layers, encouraging collagen production and tightening the skin.
Dye-VL laser – this is the first device that emits a narrowband pulsating light source. This highly-advanced is an ideal treatment option for acne redness, acne rosacea and superficial vascular lesions.
