Acne Scar Removal

What Causes Acne Scars?

Acne scars form when the skin is damaged during acne breakouts; then, during the healing process, the body produces new tissue, which is likely to create scar tissue that sits above or below the skin surface.

This can result in scar tissue and different types of acne scars.

Common forms include:

  • Rolling scars
  • Ice pick scars
  • Atrophic scars
  • Boxcar scarring
  • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation

The severity and appearance of acne scars can vary considerably from person to person, which is why understanding your skin is an important part of choosing treatment. More importantly, consulting a leading expert in scar treatment, like Mr Ioannis Goutos, can prove invaluable.

Acne Laser Treatment in London

For patients in London looking for a reputable clinic for an effective acne scar treatment plan, we strongly advise laser treatment.

Utilising laser therapy is highly effective for depressed acne scars, including rolling scars.

Ultimately, we aim to come up with a treatment for acne and acne scars best suited to your skin concerns, skin type and medical history. 

Can Laser Treatment Treat Active Acne?

Acne treatment needs to be tailored to the type and severity of acne you are experiencing. Active acne, inflammatory acne and severe acne may require a different approach from established acne scars.

During your initial consultation, our team will assess your skin to determine whether laser treatment is appropriate or whether another treatment for acne may be more suitable.

Possible treatments, if suitable, include:

Once Mr Ioannis Goutos gets a chance to assess your skin and scars during the consultation, he will provide you with transparent information regarding the best treatment for acne, leading to healthier-looking skin.

Treating Different Types of Acne Scars

Another benefit of coming to Goutos London is that we can determine if all your acne scars are the same, as no two acne scars are exactly the same.

For example:

  • Rolling scars can create an uneven texture across the skin.
  • Ice pick scars tend to be narrower and deeper.
  • Boxcar scars tend to form square-shaped visible depressions in the skin.

For some patients, a combination of treatments may provide the best opportunity for optimal results. Depending on your needs, options may include laser treatment, along with chemical peels, topical creams, skin treatments or other procedures designed to encourage collagen production.

Acne and Darker Skin Tones

One of the biggest challenges when treating acne scars is when working with darker skin tones. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation can be a significant concern following acne outbreaks, and certain treatments may not be suitable for every skin type.

It is vital for your surgeon, in this case Mr Ioannis Goutos, to check the acne spots and scars and consider the best way to get you closer to the healthy skin you desire.

What Happens During Your Consultation?

As with any medical treatment, it is vital for a free consultation to determine the best of all advanced acne treatments on offer.

During the initial consultation, your skin, acne severity, medical history and previous treatments can all be considered before creating a personalised final treatment plan.

You can also discuss your concerns, including:

  • Active acne and future breakouts
  • Skin texture
  • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
  • Excess oil
  • Clogged pores
  • Uneven skin
  • Overall skin appearance

The consultation is not only for our team to determine the best approach, but for you to also ask any questions you have.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

There is no universal answer to this question. Ultimately, the number of treatments you will need is dependent on:

  • Your skin condition and concerns
  • The type of acne scars being treated
  • How your skin responds
  • Your desired results

Some patients may see improvements following their first treatment, while others require a course of treatments to achieve their desired results.

It is important to remember that acne scar treatment is about gradual improvement rather than an instant solution.

Acne Treatment Cost in London

The acne treatment cost can vary depending on the treatment selected, the area being treated and the number of sessions required. At Goutos London, our laser treatment price starts from around £450, making it value for money for London patients.

During your consultation, you can discuss the available options and receive a clearer understanding of the likely treatment plan and costs. We offer a free, no-obligation consultation so you can make an informed decision about your skin.

Feel More Confident About Your Skin with Goutos London

Acne can affect much more than the skin itself. For many people, persistent breakouts and visible acne scars can affect confidence and self-esteem.

The right treatment can help improve the appearance of the skin and support a healthier, more radiant complexion.
