Acne Scarring

Acne Scarring Treatment in Harley Street, London

Mild acne spots can often heal without causing long-term damage to the skin, but larger out-breaks and much deeper inflammatory lesions can sometimes develop into scarring, as a recognised complication of acne. Any acne spot can lead to scarring but it’s more common in more severe types of acne such as, nodulocystic acne or severe inflammatory acne. Acne scarring can also occur if you tend to pick or squeeze your breakouts, so it’s recommended you avoid the urge.

There are five main types of acne scarring:

Ice pick scars – this type of puncture scarring is usually small and deep in appearance
Box scars – look like round craters in the skin or can be recognised as oval depressions
Rolling scars – caused by bands of scar tissue which form under the skins surface, giving the appearance of an uneven skin texture
Atrophic scarring – flat, thin scars or depressed scars
Hypertrophic or keloid scarring – thick, dense scarring which form as lumps on the skins surface

To reduce the chance of scarring, it is best to seek treatment for acne early, as even severe acne can often be cured. If your acne scarring has developed over time and is as a result of having not received treatment for acne, it is best to have acne scar treatment by a Cosmetic Dermatologist. Often than not, post inflammatory colour changes (post inflammatory hyperpigmentation) will also be present following acne and injury to the skin. It’s important you see an experienced professional who can provide you with an inclusive treatment plan to target all concerns. The exact treatment will be agreed following consultation with one of our Cosmetic Dermatologists after examination of your skin.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I visited doctor Zokaie for the baby face procedure and I have to say he is excellent. The service was wonderful. My face was a bit red at first but within a few hours the redness went away. I could already see the results. I am very very happy. The staff was amazing as well.
