Acne Scarring can sometimes develop as a complication of active acne. Any type of acne can lead to acne scarring, but it’s more common as a result of having acne vulgaris (inflamed whiteheads) or cystic acne. There are different types of acne scars: Boxcar scars are present as round, oval or irregular shaped depressions (holes) or craters in the skin. Rolling (or atrophic) scars: these are caused by areas of scar tissue which form under the skin, making the surface of the skin look uneven. Ice-pick scars: these tend to be smaller than boxcar scars, but go deeper into the skin. These scars look like tiny areas of skin have been gouged out – hence the name, ‘ice-pick’ scars.

Acne scarring in all its forms can cause people a lot of distress long after their active acne has gone. The good news is laser skin resurfacing can help both improve (and in some cases) almost completely resolve any acne scars. Prices for fractional laser skin resurfacing for acne scarring start at £95. Please contact us for more information or to book your laser treatment.
