Regrettably in the NHS, the options for treating acne scarring are limited and in many areas non-existent. The damage to skin from acne has built up over a long time, so it will take time to reduce the appearance of acne scars.
The appearance of acne scars can be softened by chemical peel. High concentration AHA peels applied by a professional in the clinic at 3-4 week intervals on 4-6 occasions is one option.
A series of retinol peels can be used to visually soften acne scars every 6-8 weeks (or at longer intervals if the skin is sensitive).
Cleopatra facial treatment uses non-invasive dermabrasion and micro-channelling techniques with restorative serums to help restore your skin texture and tone. The clear skin option is great if your skin is oily.
Calecim microneedling can be done.
Microneedling with PRP is also an option.
Home based skin care with medical grade products can also improve the appearance of scarring.
There is no one size fits all approach which is why a consultation is recommended before selecting any treatment.
In the consultation time will be taken to find out about you as an individual in order to identify the best way forward.
