Acne scarring refers to long-term textural changes that can remain after inflammatory breakouts have resolved. Addressing active breakouts early is also important, which is why Artisan Aesthetic Clinics takes a comprehensive approach that considers both current acne and long-term scarring concerns.
Acne scars can appear in different forms, and understanding the type of scar is key to selecting the most suitable acne scar treatments.
Common types include:
Acne scarring forms when inflammation disrupts the skin’s natural repair process. During healing, the body produces collagen to rebuild tissue. If too much or too little collagen develops, changes in skin texture may remain.
Severe acne scars are more often linked to deeper lesions, but even moderate breakouts can lead to lasting marks depending on the individual.
There is no single scar treatment that suits every client. The most effective treatment approach depends on factors such as:
A comprehensive consultation at Artisan Aesthetic Clinics allows our clinicians to assess your skin and recommend the most appropriate acne scar treatment pathway.
At Artisan Aesthetic Clinics, we offer a range of personalised scar treatment pathways.
Skin needling uses a specialised device to create controlled micro-channels in the skin. This process may assist with improving uneven skin texture and certain atrophic scars.
Laser Genesis is a laser treatment that targets persistent redness and vascular changes that can remain after breakouts. This option can be considered as part of a broader acne scar treatment plan.
Vascular treatments may be recommended for clients experiencing ongoing redness or visible vessels following inflammatory acne. Suitability depends on skin type and scar presentation.
Fraxel® Dual Laser is a fractional laser treatment often used in laser resurfacing plans. Fractional laser technology creates controlled zones within the skin and may help improve the appearance of acne scars over time.
