Tired of Acne Scars? Discover Smoother, Clearer Skin with Our London Experts

We can effectively treat a wide range of atrophic acne scars, including ice pick, boxcar, and rolling scars, as well as some types of hypertrophic (raised) scars, using our advanced Plexr, Smartside CO2 laser, and Virtue RF microneedling technologies. Your specific scar type will be assessed during your consultation to determine the most effective personalised treatment plan.

The number of treatments varies depending on the type, depth, and severity of your acne scars, as well as your individual skin response. Most patients require a course of treatments for optimal results. For example, Virtue RF microneedling often involves 3-4 sessions, while CO2 laser may require 1-3 sessions or more, spaced appropriately. Plexr treatments are also typically done in a series. We will provide a personalised estimate during your consultation.

We prioritise your comfort. Topical numbing cream is applied before most procedures (Plexr, Smartside CO2, Virtue RF) to minimise discomfort. Patients typically describe sensations ranging from warmth or prickling to mild stinging, which are generally well-tolerated.

Downtime varies depending on the technology used: Plexr can range from minimal to several days of redness, swelling, and tiny carbon crusts (typically 4-10 days). Smartside CO2 Laser typically involves 5-10 days of redness, swelling, and peeling/crusting. Virtue RF Microneedling generally offers minimal downtime, with slight redness or tightness for a few hours to a day or two. Your specialist will discuss the expected recovery for your specific treatment plan.

Virtue RF Microneedling is generally safe and effective for all skin types, including darker skin tones, as the RF energy is delivered precisely to deeper layers. Smartside CO2 Laser and Plexr can be used on many skin types, but careful assessment and customised settings are crucial for darker skin tones to minimise risks like pigmentation changes. Our experts will thoroughly assess your skin suitability during the consultation.

While complete scar removal is rare, our advanced treatments aim to achieve significant improvement in the appearance, texture, and depth of your acne scars. You can expect visibly smoother, more even-toned skin, and a reduction in the noticeability of your scars. Results are progressive, with collagen remodeling continuing for months after treatment. We will discuss realistic outcomes based on your individual scars during your consultation.

Acne scar removal starts from £295 per session. We offer package deals for multiple sessions that provide better value and convenience. The exact cost depends on the type, depth, and area of acne scars being treated. During your free consultation, we'll provide a detailed cost estimate and discuss flexible financing options tailored to your needs.
