ACNE SCAR TREATMENT

Acne scars can be a source of frustration and insecurity for many individuals. 

While acne itself may subside, the scars it leaves behind can affect your confidence and skin texture. At Define Clinic, we specialise in advanced acne scar treatment solutions designed to rejuvenate your skin and restore its natural, smooth appearance.

Understanding Acne Scars

Acne scars are the result of inflamed blemishes or acne such as cysts, papules and pustules that damage the skin’s underlying tissue and result in pitted scarring. When the body tries to repair this damage, it can produce too little or too much collagen, leading to different types of scarring. These include:

Atrophic Scars: Depressed scars that form below the skin’s surface, such as ice-pick, boxcar, and rolling scars.

Hypertrophic Scars: Raised scars that occur when excess collagen builds up.

Hyperpigmentation: While not technically a scar, dark spots can linger after acne heals and may require treatment.

How Acne Scar Treatment Works

At Define Clinic, we offer various methods for acne scar treatment to target different types of scarring, ensuring a tailored approach for optimal results:

Laser Resurfacing: Is one of the most advanced  treatments for skin rejuvenation available today. It is highly effective at reducing fine lines and wrinkles, tightening skin, evening out discoloration, repairing sun damage and smoothing rough skin texture. This treatment with the advanced laser technology can also address deeper skin concerns, including scars, acne scarring and hyperpigmentation. Our laser skin experts can target specific areas such as eyes, mouth or treat the entire face, as well as neck, chest, hands and other body areas.  The laser technology works to stimulate collagen production and remove the outer layer of scarred skin, revealing smoother, healthier skin beneath. Laser resurfacing uses beams of thermal energy that penetrate deeply into the skin. These laser beams vaporise damaged skin cells and stimulate the body’s natural healing response. 

Microneedling with Radiofrequency (RF): A minimally invasive treatment that encourages skin regeneration through controlled micro-injuries, combined with RF energy for enhanced results.

Chemical Peels: Target superficial scars and pigmentation by exfoliating the top layers of skin to promote new cell growth.

Chemical peels, also known as skin peels, use powerful natural acids and active ingredients that are clinically proven to deeply exfoliate the skin, stimulate collagen cell growth and renewal, resulting in a more radiant and youthful appearance. 

Using a blend of natural acids and enzymes, skin peels exfoliate and boost cell turnover. This process removed dead skin cells from the outer layer, allowing new, smoother skin to emerge. Peels also stimulate collagen and elastin production, helping to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. 

During treatment, a chemical solution is applied to the face or other target areas and left on for a few minutes to penetrate both the epidermis and deeper skin layers, promoting exfoliation and skin remodelling. The potent combination of ingredients addresses a range of concerns, including minimising open pores, redness, age spots, blemishes, treating acne, correcting sun damage and pigmentation and smoothing fine lines. The results can be transformative.

FAQs

Is acne scar treatment painful?

Most of these treatments are well-tolerated and performed with numbing agents to minimise discomfort. You may experience slight redness or sensitivity post-treatment, but this typically resolves within a few days.

How many sessions are needed for optimal results?

The number of sessions varies based on the type and severity of scarring. While some patients see significant improvements after a single session, others may require multiple treatments for best results.

Can all skin types undergo acne scar treatment?

Yes, we tailor our treatments to suit all skin types. Our experts will recommend the most appropriate procedure based on your skin type and scar characteristics.

Is there any downtime?

Downtime depends on the treatment method used. Some options, like laser resurfacing, may require a few days of recovery, while others, such as microneedling, have minimal downtime.

When will I see results?

Results can often be seen after the first acne scar treatment, with progressive improvements over the weeks as new collagen forms and the skin heals. Full results are typically noticeable within a few months.

    A five star review for five star treatment. I’ve just started going to Define and I’ve decided to have a number of treatments. So far, I’m very pleased with the results. On top of this, every single member of staff is so welcoming, professional and at the top of their game. It’s not very affordable, but you get what you pay for!
