— The Concern

Scars, or marks?

The red and brown marks acne leaves behind are pigment, not scarring — they often settle with time and respond to peels and microneedling. True acne scars are textural: rolling, boxcar and ice‑pick scars where the collagen structure itself has changed. They don’t fade — they need remodelling.

Which one you have decides the route. Marks lean toward our pigmentation pathway; true scars need the collagen‑remodelling treatments below. Most skin has some of both — which is why it’s assessed, not guessed.

  • 01Rolling & boxcar scars
  • 02Ice‑pick scarring
  • 03Post‑acne marks
  • 04Enlarged pores
  • 05Uneven texture
  • 06Older, established scars
— The Routes

Remodelling, properly done.

Scar treatment is collagen work — controlled injury, precise depth, and the patience of a course. These are the routes, chosen at consultation.

SkinPen

The first FDA‑cleared microneedling device — clinically proven for post-acne scarring, with depth adjusted to the tissue: delicate areas treated shallower, thicker scar tissue treated deeper. The lead treatment for most scarring. About SkinPen →

PureDerma

Radiofrequency through insulated microneedles — deeper dermal remodelling that treats texture and laxity simultaneously, and safe on every skin tone. About PureDerma →

NeoGen EVO

Nitrogen plasma, cleared for acne and surgical scarring — resurfacing and regeneration in the same treatment, programmed at consultation. About NeoGen →

NOON Peels

Support and preparation — the J‑Peel treats texture and mild scarring, the P‑Peel works on post-acne skin. Often sequenced around microneedling. About NOON →

Still breaking out? We usually calm active acne first — Dermalux LED and NOON both play a role — before scar remodelling begins.

Good to Know

Questions, answered.

Do old acne scars still respond to treatment?
Yes — remodelling works on established scars, because it rebuilds collagen rather than relying on the skin’s own fading. Older, deeper scarring simply tends to need more sessions, planned honestly at consultation.
How many sessions will I need?
It varies with scar type and depth. The result shown above was three treatments; your plan is set at consultation — and we’ll tell you a realistic number, not an optimistic one.
Is microneedling safe on darker skin tones?
SkinPen suits most skin types and tones, and PureDerma delivers its energy below the surface — safe on every skin tone. Assessment first, always.
I still get breakouts — can I start scar treatment?
Usually we calm active acne first — Dermalux LED and NOON peels both play a role — then move to remodelling once the skin has settled. It’s sequenced at consultation.
Does it hurt, and is there downtime?
Each treatment page carries its full pre‑and‑aftercare — honestly written, nothing hidden. Start with the SkinPen page for what treatment day actually feels like.
Where to Start

Assessed, then remodelled.

A full consultation, never a rushed treatment. We’ll map your scarring honestly, tell you what’s realistic, and plan the course from there.
