Acne is a troubling skin condition which can affect both teenagers and adults alike and when the concern is no longer active, the reminder of acne can be forever present, in the form of acne scars. Acne scars are usually the result of the inflamed acne blemishes caused when the skin’s pores become engorged with excess oil, dead skin cells and bacteria. These pores swell, which causes a break in the follicle wall, causing shallow lesions and different types of scars (box scars, rolling scars for example).
At DrMedispa in London and Essex, we understand that acne scarring can be as embarrassing and debilitating for one’s confidence as the acne itself, and long after the skin condition has subsided, these scars won’t disappear by themselves.
We are the UK’s leading acne scar treatment clinics, and offer surgical subcision for patients with certain types of acne scarring. This pushes the ‘holes’ created by scarring back to the surface, giving skin a smoother appearance.
