Acne Scarring

[/cz_title][cz_title id=”cz_49089″ sk_overall=”color:#020202;text-align:justify;”]Acne scars can leave a lasting impact, both physically and emotionally. At Faciem Dermatology & Medical Clinic, we’re dedicated to empowering individuals by providing effective and successful treatment options. Acne, characterised by inflammation and gland blockage, can lead to the destruction of collagen and elastin fibres within the skin, resulting in dipped and tethered scars. Recognising and addressing this early is key, as prevention is far more manageable than treatment.

 

Our commitment to comprehensive care means we offer a diverse range of treatment modalities tailored to various budgets. Whether you’re dealing with active acne or the aftermath of scars, our specialists are here to guide you. For active acne, we begin with personalised skincare routine and assess the need for oral medications like Roaccutane, Spironolactone or contraceptive pills. When treating scars, our approach is as unique as you are. Following a meticulous assessment, we may recommend chemical peels, microneedling or laser treatments to address specific scar types.[/cz_title][/vc_column][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-6″][cz_gallery layout=”cz_grid_carousel” hover=”cz_grid_1_no_hover” slidestoshow=”1″ slidestoshow_tablet=”1″ arrows_position=”no_arrows” dots_position=”dots_bc” dots_style=”dots_square” grid_disable_links=”true” infinite=”true” autoplay=”true” id=”cz_12572″ images=”123,124″ custom_size=”full” class=”my-gallery” sk_con_mobile=”margin-top:25px;margin-bottom:25px;”][cz_gap height=”0px” height_tablet=”30px” height_mobile=”30px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle” el_class=”read-more-section” css=”.vc_custom_1590605993417{margin-top: 15px !important;margin-bottom: 15px !important;}”][vc_column][cz_show_more_less height=”0px” more=”Read More About Acne Scarring” less=”Close” id=”cz_30925″ sk_button=”font-size:18px;color:#444444;text-align:center;display:block;”][vc_row_inner content_placement=”middle”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]

We are highly skilled at providing you with a prescriptive and bespoke medical grade skincare regime that is written and emailed to you and revised at each appointment. Depending on the severity of the skin correction needed, medical grade skincare is often combined with other treatments such as regular Hydra-Facials, steroid injections into raised scars and Laser Genesis to help reduce active acne and improve the collagen remodelling.
MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling is a safe and effective collagen-building procedure, balancing the oil glands and over time stimulating the skin’s natural healing process to improve acne and acne scarring. Our Skin Pen device performs the treatment beautifully with very little downtime.
3 STEP ZO CHEMICAL PEEL
The ZO 3 Step Peel is a medium depth TCA peel. TCA is a type of chemical solution applied to the skin that makes the skin peel and rejuvenate. This is a great option to reduce pore size, pigmentation and medium depth acne scarring; however the skin has to be prepared and optimised prior to the peel process. This is discussed in depth at your consultation.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]LASER GENESIS
Laser Genesis by Cutera offers micro-pulse technology delivered as very quick micro pulses to the skin to the level of your oil gland. By heating up the skin in a controlled manner at each appointment it has been shown to reduce the activity of your acne and the heat starts to build collagen. Laser Genesis can be performed 2, 4 or 6 weekly and can be combined with our signature Hydra-Facial (FD Hydra-Genesis) for the ultimate skin rejuvenation.
CONTROLLED DEPTH PEEL
The ZO controlled depth peel is another TCA chemical peel, but this works 28-30% deeper to target scars and tighten skin. This requires 1 week off usually, and detailed preparation for optimal results, again all of which will be discussed at your appointment.

We understand that acne and scarring can take a toll on your emotional well-being. Dr Anamica Prasad is our expert dermatologist and is here to offer compassionate and effective help. Don’t hesitate to reach out – let’s embark on a journey to rediscover your confidence together.

The inflammation can destroy the collagen in the surrounding skin, causing dipped scars where the collagen has been damaged, as well as raised scars where the inflammation causes the collagen to increase. This is called a hyper-trophic or keloid scar, and we treat these successfully with medicines and intralesional-steroid injections which reduce the inflammation and reduce the increased collagen.[/vc_column_text][/cz_acc_child][cz_acc_child title=”What is the best approach to acne and scarring ?”][vc_column_text]The best approach is to have a detailed consultation so that we can assess your acne  and check that whether it has resolved or is under control. It is best to ensure this before undergoing  treatment otherwise it will undo time, effort and money.
Control of active acne  can easily be achieved with medical grade skincare. We can then tackle acne scarring with a variety of treatments.[/vc_column_text][/cz_acc_child][cz_acc_child title=”How do I know which treatment is right for me ?”][vc_column_text]Dr Prasad has many years of acne expertise, having worked extensively in NHS Dermatology. She now combines her knowledge with the finest skincare ingredients and technologies to scar repair management. It is vital that we understand what is going on at the level of your skin. By doing so we can then target the collagen to build and improve itself. We call this method ‘collagen induction’. This can be through micro-needling, chemical peels like the ZO 3 Step or Controlled Depth Peel , Laser genesis and high potency retinol through your ZO Skincare.[/vc_column_text][/cz_acc_child][/cz_accordion][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html css=”.vc_custom_1589655170230{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]JTVCcmNibG9jayUyMGlkJTNEJTIyMzA0JTIyJTVE[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row]
