Acne scarring is the result of damage to the skin’s collagen and elastin that occurs when pores become inflamed or infected with acne. When the acne lesions heal, they can leave behind scars that range in size and severity. Acne scarring can be treated with a range of methods, including laser treatments, chemical peels, and dermal fillers. The most effective treatment will depend on the type and severity of the scars.

TCA Cross Treatment
Our specialised TCA Cross treatment is intended to refine skin texture and address the deep scars. This procedure may help stimulate collagen production over time, which could improve skin smoothness. Individual results may vary,depending on their skin type.
Treatment Time: 15-30 minutes
Treatment Areas: TCA Cross is ideal for improving the appearance of:
- Deep acne scars, such as ice-pick scars
- Targeted scarred areas on the face
- Collagen-depleted skin for improved texture and smoothness
For TCA Cross, the usual downtime is 3-6 days. Most people heal quickly, and recovery is usually straightforward. If there’s any redness after the treatment, you can use a general recovery makeup to cover it.
After TCA Cross, avoid sun exposure and always use sunscreen. You can use makeup to cover any scabs but do not pick, rub, or scrub the area aggressively.
Usually, 3 to 6 TCA cross-treatments are needed for the best results. These treatments are usually spaced 2 to 8 weeks apart and can continue over a 6-month period.
CO2 Laser Acne Scar Treatment
The CO2 Laser Treatment is a non-invasive skin revitalisation technique that helps support skin renewal. In this procedure, the laser's light targets the specific areas, which may support the skin's natural renewal process.This treatment is designed to improve skin texture, but the results vary for each individual.
Treatment Time: 30-45 minutes
Treatment Areas: CO2 lasers are an effective solution for various skin concerns, including:
- Acne scars
- Wrinkles
- Sun damage
- Uneven skin tone
- Removal of growths such as warts, moles, and skin tags
CO2 lasers are effective for several skin concerns. They help smooth out and reduce the appearance of acne scars by removing damaged skin & boosting collagen production. They also enhance skin texture and tone, reducing wrinkles & fine lines by stimulating collagen. Additionally, CO2 lasers tighten the skin, improving the look of sagging or loose areas by encouraging collagen growth.
For fractional CO2 laser, you usually need between 2 to 6 sessions, depending on the severity of the scars. These sessions should be spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart to achieve good results.
Yes, CO2 laser treatment can help brighten the skin by reducing hyperpigmentation, sunspots, and other discolourations. It helps improve skin tone and texture by supporting the skin’s natural renewal process, leaving you with a smoother, more radiant complexion.
Acne Scar Subcision
Acne Scar Subcision is a minor in-clinical surgical procedure that uses a small needle to loosen and break the fibres that connect the acne scar to the underlying skin tissue. The aim is to raise the skin & improve the appearance of the acne scar.
Treatment Time: 20-30 minutes
Treatment Areas: Subcision is an effective treatment for improving the appearance of acne scars in specific areas of the face. Here are the key areas that can be targeted:
- Cheeks
- Central Forehead
- Temples
Subcision results can sometimes be seen right away, but it generally takes 2 to 4 months for noticeable improvements. The scar tissue continues to remodel, with the full effects becoming more evident over up to a year.
After the Subcision, it’s important to keep the treated area clean to avoid infection and protect your skin from direct sunlight. To minimize swelling, avoid intense physical activities and apply cold compresses. Be sure to follow your doctor's specific aftercare instructions for the best results.
Subcision is generally not painful as your doctor will first clean the area around your scar and apply a local anaesthetic to numb your skin, ensuring you feel minimal discomfort during the procedure.
Infini RF microneedling, patented by Lutronic Aesthetics, is an treatment combining microneedling with radiofrequency to help reduce acne scars. The device uses 49 tiny needles to deliver radiofrequency energy into the dermis, the skin's second layer. This non-surgical method tightens skin by heating targeted areas to boost collagen production.

- Reducing acne scars
- Tightening droopy eyelids and under-eye skin

Yes, Infini RF is considered safe for all skin types. Possible side effects, like temporary swelling, redness, and pinpoint bleeding, usually fade within 24-36 hours.
The Dermapen® is a skin rejuvenation tool that uses 11 fine, 33-gauge needles to gently penetrate the skin. It creates numerous tiny punctures per minute to boost collagen production, improve skin texture & reduce acne scarring.
