Acne Scar Treatment London

Why do acne scars form?

Acne scars develop when severe acne damages the deeper layers of the skin. During healing, the body produces new collagen, but uneven repair can leave permanent changes in skin texture.

Some of the factors that can lead to acne scarring include:

Delayed treatment
History of abnormal scarring
Infection whilst acne is active
Presence of cysts
Popping or picking at the spots
Inadequate management or treatment of active acne

Unfortunately, it feels all too easy to end up with acne scars, which is why we provide the best treatment plans so that patients have a solution to their scarring problems.

Types of acne scars

Before we can provide you with the right type of acne scar treatment, we need to increase our chances of success by identifying the scar type.

Common types of acne scars include:

Ice pick scars: Deep, narrow scars that extend into the skin.

Boxcar scars: Round or oval depressed scars with clearly defined edges.

Rolling scars: Broad, shallow depressions that create uneven skin texture.

Hypertrophic scars: Raised scars caused by excessive collagen production during healing.

Each scar type responds differently to treatment, so it’s important to have an experienced surgeon with years of experience in dealing with acne scarring. That’s why patients travel from all over London and the UK to see Mr Ioannis Goutos!

Acne scar treatment options

At Goutos London, Mr Ioannis Goutos advocates for 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.

As a popular minimally invasive treatment, laser treatment improves skin texture while protecting the surrounding healthy skin. With only a few treatments, laser treatments can improve the appearance of your skin.

Microneedling for Scars

Microneedling is performed using a device with small needles that make several tiny perforations in the skin. These stimulate 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, a small surgical procedure may be recommended. Scar revision techniques target damaged scarred tissue underneath the skin, allowing rapid healing and smoother results.

Filler or fat injections

If suitable, fillers are used to help with collagen production, which can encourage the body to heal itself.

In some instances, a combination of treatments may be suggested for the most appropriate treatment plan. Ultimately, this decision will be made between you and our team once the correct assessments are made.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions depends on the depth and type of acne scars. Although it is possible to notice visible improvement after one treatment, most benefit from a series of sessions.

Benefits of acne scar treatment

Although many may think of acne scar treatment as a cosmetic treatment that isn’t necessary, the truth is that it can be extremely beneficial when performed by an expert like Mr Ioannis Goutos.

Professional acne scar removal treatments can:

Improve skin texture
Create smoother-looking skin
Improve skin tone
Reduce uneven texture
Stimulate collagen production
Improve the appearance of long-standing scars
Restore confidence

If anything, the positive effect it will have on you is enough to go through with this minimally invasive process. Being able to reduce acne scars with minimal downtime is worth it.

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.
