Acne scars can really affect our confidence; the acne that caused so much grief and embarrassment has finally cleared up, but they’ve left uneven skin texture that no make-up can hide. Acne scars can take various guises, from what is known as “ice-pick “ scars (deep and narrow pitting) to broad depressions. The scarring is caused by trauma to the skin and requires treatment that is powerful enough to affect the skin’s structure.

If you have a special occasion that has inspired your decision to tweak, you’ll need to consider a timeline for treatment. The best way to do this is to firstly book a consultation to discuss what outcome you would like to achieve. When booking a consultation we often have a treatment in mind, rather than the concern we wish to address- but it may turn out that there are other treatments available that would provide better results for your needs.
