Acne Scar Removal Harley Street

How Do Acne Scars Form?

Acne scars form when the skin is damaged during acne breakouts or residual inflammatory acne. 

During the healing process, the body produces new tissue, which is likely to create scar tissue that sits above or below the skin surface.

The scar tissue can result in various types of scarring, affecting both skin texture and tone. In some cases, hypertrophic scars or keloid scars develop due to excess collagen production.

Types of Acne Scars

There are many types of acne scars that can impact both lighter and darker skin tones.

  • Icepick scars
  • Boxcar scars
  • Rolling scars

Notably, the treatment for these types of acne scars, or others, can vary greatly depending on case to case. If you have severe acne scars, then a surgical treatment is more likely.

Advanced Treatments to Improve Acne Scars

At our clinic in London, we provide a range of effective treatments to treat acne scars and improve the overall appearance of the skin. Some of the acne scar removal treatments we offer are:

Laser Treatment

Laser resurfacing treatment targets scar tissue with a high beam, meaning that it can be very precise. Utilising laser therapy is highly effective for depressed acne scars, including boxcars and rolling scars.

This minimally invasive treatment improves skin texture while protecting the surrounding healthy skin. Many patients notice smoother skin and visible improvement after multiple treatments.

Microneedling for Scars

Microneedling is performed using a device with small needles used to make several tiny perforations in the skin. These tiny perforations are for stimulating collagen production in order to improve the overall skin texture, colour, and appearance.

Surgical Acne Scar Removal

For deeper scars, such as ice pick scars or tethered scarring, a small surgical procedure may be recommended. Scar revision techniques target damaged scarred tissue underneath the skin, allowing rapid healing and smoother results.

These surgical treatments are often combined with other scar treatment options to deliver the most appropriate treatment plan.

At Goutos London, we treat acne scars using the most suitable treatment method for each patient from the many treatment methods available. We aim to work out which treatment method is best for you during your consultation.

Your Personalised Acne Scar Treatment Plan

As with all medical procedures, treatment begins with an initial consultation. During this patient’s initial consultation, our specialist, Mr Ioannis Goutos, assessed:

  • The severity of acne scars
  • Your skin type
  • Any concerns, such as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or darker skin sensitivity

Once the assessment is completed, we become fully aware of your situation and provide a treatment plan in accordance with our findings.

The next step is to go ahead and design a treatment plan using the most appropriate treatment for your condition. This may include laser treatment, topical creams, or other advanced treatments that support the body’s natural healing processes.

Is Acne Scar Treatment Painful?

One question we get asked a lot, and rightfully so, is whether acne scar treatment is painful.

The pleasing truth is that the majority of acne scar treatment methods are pain-free and require minimal downtime. Having said that, there have been some patients who have experienced mild discomfort during the healing process.

In most cases, anaesthesia may not even be needed; a topical anaesthetic cream is usually applied to keep the procedure comfortable.

Achieve Smoother, Healthier Skin

For patients looking to eliminate acne scars with the help of a trusted plastic surgeon, they need not look any further. At Goutos London, we know that with the right acne scar removal approach, it is possible to improve acne scars, restore smoother skin, and enhance your overall skin surface.

Mr Goutos performed keloidectomy surgery on both my earlobes, and I am so grateful to have been referred to him. From the first consultation, through surgery, and now my 3-month follow-up, I have nothing but good words to say.

This man is an extremely intelligent, professional gentleman. He will set realistic expectations from the beginning and will not ‘beat around the bush’ so-to speak. From the initial consultation to post-surgery, it has been a rollercoaster ride. However the high level of expertise & professionalism Mr Goutos maintained has been impeccable. All I can say to any other individual considering treatment with Mr Goutos, is that you are in incredibly safe hands. And on top of this, he has a great sense of humour. I wish nothing but the best for this man, and the best results for his future patients.

Mr Goutos and his team removed some lipomas from my arms. The initial consultation right through to the aftercare was professional, sensitive and genuine. Mr Goutos put me at ease right from the start, discussing my history and background and then discussing the various options for the incisions and sutures. The incisions were quick, efficient and professional. I felt completely at ease knowing I was in expert hands. The incisions were extremely neat and have closed and scared really well. I had a number of questions after the operation and one of the sutures became infected. Mr Goutos was quick to make an appointment for me, see me and deal with the infection and offered for me to see him again if the infection didn’t calm down. He was genuinely empathetic to my needs and took time to check each scare, explain things and assure me along the way. He didn’t at any point, make me feel I was asking silly questions or too many. I highly recommend Mr Goutos for his exceptional incisions and suturing as well as his professional conduct, caring approach and after care. The whole experience was smooth and easy and I am very grateful for what he has done for me.

We came to see Dr Goutos a few month ago to remove invasive spider nevus on my 9 year old sons nose . After a lovely consultation with Dr Goutos , he suggested to do several laser treatment sessions. After a few sessions we already noticed a massive improvement. On the final laser treatment session the spider nevus was completely gone. Thank you to the Dr Goutos for tackling the problem so rapidly and with great results!

We took our 4yr old daughter to Mr Goutos following an accident which resulted in a small burn scar on her cheek. Mr Goutos gave us various options and we went for laser treatment. After 4 appointments the scar has gone! The care that Mr Goutos gave us was exceptional and so good with children. He made us feel very comfortable and confident in his ability. I would recommend him to anyone if they were looking for a doctor in that particular field. Can't thank him enough.
