Acne can leave long lasting marks on the skin even after breakouts have stopped. Many patients who visit MedAcademy in Crawley feel self conscious about acne scars and uneven texture. The good news is that modern aesthetic treatments can significantly improve the appearance of acne scars and make the skin look smoother.
Types Of Acne Scars
Different scars respond to different treatments. Common types include:
- Ice pick scars – deep, narrow marks
- Boxcar scars – wider, more defined indentations
- Rolling scars – softer depressions with uneven edges
- Post inflammatory pigmentation – dark or red marks after acne
Microneedling And RF Microneedling
Microneedling uses fine needles to create controlled micro injuries in the skin, which stimulates collagen production. RF microneedling adds radiofrequency energy for a stronger effect.
- Improves mild to moderate acne scars
- Helps to smooth texture over a series of sessions
- Can be combined with other treatments for better results
Laser Resurfacing For Deeper Scars
For more advanced scarring, laser resurfacing such as CO2 laser can be recommended.
- Targets deeper layers of the skin
- Reduces the depth and visibility of scars
- May require more downtime but offers stronger improvement
Chemical Peels And Medical Skincare
Chemical peels and medical grade skincare can help with post inflammatory pigmentation and overall texture.
- Brighten dark marks after acne
- Help to smooth fine irregularities
- Support and maintain results of in clinic treatments
