Acne Scarring Treatment in Leicester

Support for smoother, healthier-looking skin after acne

Acne scarring is its own kind of frustrating: the breakouts have calmed, but the marks, dips and uneven surface stay behind. Makeup doesn’t sit smoothly, certain light makes it jump out, and the skin doesn’t look the way you feel. The good news is that texture is one of the more treatable concerns — with the right plan.

First, what kind of “scarring” is it?

It matters, because the treatments differ. True scarring — shallow rolling texture or deeper pitted scars — responds to collagen-stimulating treatment. But a lot of what people call scarring is actually red marks or post-inflammatory pigmentation that will fade differently and needs a gentler hand, especially in darker skin tones. We assess scar type, skin tone, sensitivity and any ongoing acne before recommending anything.

Treatments that may help

• Microneedling — the workhorse for collagen stimulation and smoother texture
• Advanced MCT grade PRP (Vampire) facial — your own plasma, to aid skin repair and remodelling
• SkinCeuticals peels — for tone, clarity and surface texture
• LED phototherapy — to settle redness between sessions

This is almost always a course rather than a single session, and results build gradually. We’ll tell you how many sessions are realistic and what downtime, if any, to plan for. If active acne is still present, we treat that first — there’s no sense resurfacing skin that’s still breaking out.
