Treatments for Acne Scarring

Morpheus8

Morpheus8 Resurfacing uses an advanced blend of bipolar radiofrequency and microneedling to treat the appearance of acne scars, ideal for rolling and atrophic acne scarring. Uncoated titanium microneedles are penetrated 0.5mm into the dermis,heating and resurfacing the skin and dramatically improving disrupted collagen structures. The targeting of post inflammatory irregularities in skin texture and tone leads to visible improvement in quality of the skin, as new collagen forms the skin becomes firmer, more even and smother overall.

Subcision

Our subcision treatment is particularly effective in individually treating deep pitted acne scars, performed with a thin needle that is directed towards dermis layer of the skin to release scar bands, cutting through scar tissue to release it from the deeper tissue. We then inject filler under each individual scar to smooth the skin and prevent the reformation of scar bands, smoothing the skin.

Microneedling

Microneedling remains an incredibly impactful method when treating acne scars,in which controlled trauma to the skin is caused to stimulate collagen and trigger the body’s natural healing process. Through the stimulation of collagen and elastin, the skin gains back elasticity andheals texture irregularities, in turn improving the visibility of acne scars.

ULTRACLEAR® Mapping

UltraClear™ is a revolutionary breakthrough in laser technology, designed to effectively treat acne scars and improve skin texture. An innovation in its field, UltraClear™ creates controlled, fractional micro-injuries without causing thermal damage to the surrounding tissue. This advanced approach resurfaces the skin, reorganising and regenerating collagen fibres for smoother texture, removing damaged skin layers and stimulating collagen production. Results see a significant improvement of scars and a smoother, tighter looking complexion.

What is Acne Scarring?

Acne scarring remains a complex condition, causing structural damage to the deeper layers of tissue and leading to long term changes to the skin. Once inflamed breakouts have healed, acne scarring and texture changes develop in several different forms, from indentations, such as keloids, rolling scars and hypertrophic scars, to raised areas such as atrophic, boxcar and ice pick scars.

Whilst appearing in slightly different forms, this scarring impact is caused by the release in inflammatory molecules, namely cytokines and enzymes, which harm collagen and elastin fibres whilst targeting bacteria. Dependent on the whether too much or too little collagen is produced in the skin during the healing process, the affected skin forms either depressions or raised scars, which can be challenging to treat due to their depth into the dermis.

Once scarring has formed, several factors such as genetics, age and the level of inflammation can impact their appearance and severity. Due to the variation in the causes of acne scarring, it is incredibly important that treatments are tailored to the individual, offered by those with clinical expertise and knowledge. Get in touch to find out how our clinic treatments and products can be tailored to you today.
