Causes of Acne Scars

Acne scars develop when the skin’s natural healing process is disrupted, often due to inflamed or cystic acne. The severity of scarring can vary, depending on several factors such as genetics, skin type, and the manner in which acne lesions are handled. Picking or squeezing acne can worsen scarring, as can delayed or inadequate treatment of active acne.

Signs of Acne Scars

Acne scars manifest in various forms, including:

  1. Ice Pick Scars: Deep, narrow scars that resemble small puncture wounds.
  2. Boxcar Scars: Broad depressions with well-defined edges.
  3. Rolling Scars: Undulating or wave-like depressions on the skin.
  4. Hypertrophic Scars: Raised and firm scars, often red or discolored.

While the physical appearance of these scars can be distressing, they also impact emotional well-being and self-esteem. Fortunately, advancements in dermatological treatments offer effective solutions for minimising the appearance of acne scars.

Acne Scars Treatment Options:

At our clinic in London, we are proud to offer cutting-edge treatments for acne scar reduction, including medical skin needling with the expertise of Una Jefford. This innovative procedure, also known as microneedling or collagen induction therapy, involves the use of a device equipped with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface.

The process stimulates the body’s natural collagen production, promoting skin regeneration and the formation of new, smoother tissue. Medical skin needling has shown significant success in reducing the appearance of various types of acne scars, improving skin texture, and enhancing overall skin tone.

Advantages of Medical Skin Needling

  1. Collagen Stimulation: The controlled micro-injuries trigger the body’s collagen production, promoting skin elasticity and resilience.
  2. Safe and Non-Invasive: Unlike surgical procedures, medical skin needling is minimally invasive, with little to no downtime.
  3. Versatility: Suitable for various skin types and tones, medical skin needling can address a range of acne scars.
