Acne Scar Treatment
Acne is more than just a skin condition – it’s an emotional burden. For many people, the journey doesn’t end when the breakouts stop. The real struggle begins with the scars that remain – reminders of what was once an active phase of inflammation, pain and uncertainty. At London Aesthetics U.K., we understand that no skin is the same and no two scars are the same. That’s why finding the right treatment for acne scars is key to restoring not only your skin, but your confidence.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the best aesthetic skin treatments designed to target different types of acne scars, tailored to your specific skin type. Whether you have deep boxcar scars, ice breaker scars or uneven skin tone, there is a solution – and it’s more effective than you might think.
Understanding the causes of Acne scars
Before diving into treatments, it is important to understand why scars form. Acne scars are caused by inflammation of the skin. When a breakout penetrates deeply, it damages the skin and tissue underneath. The skin reacts by trying to repair itself – but this process can result in:
Atrophic scars (depressed scars such as boxcar, rolling or ice pick)
Hypertrophic scars (raised, hard scars)
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark spots left after acne heals)
The severity of scarring depends on genetics, the depth of the acne and how quickly or aggressively it was treated.
Which Acne Scar Treatment is Right For Your Skin Type?
At London Aesthetics U.K., we offer advanced aesthetic skin treatments tailored to your skin’s specific needs. Here’s how we address acne scarring across different skin types:
Microneedling with Radiofrequency RF:
Best for: All skin types, especially darker skin.
How it works: Creates microscopic damage in the skin using fine needles combined with RF energy to stimulate collagen production in the skin layers.
Benefits: Reduces depth of scars
Improves texture and tone
Minimal downtime
Recovery: Redness and mild swelling for 24-48 hours. You can see results after 3-4 sessions.
Confidence boost: smoother skin, reduced visibility of scars and a radiant complexion.
Laser resurfacing (fractional CO2 laser):
Best for: light to medium skin tones
How it works: Uses a focused laser beam to vaporize damaged skin and accelerate collagen regeneration.
Benefits: Dramatically improves deep scar
Tightens skin
Even out pigmentation
Recovery: Peeling, redness and sensitivity for up to 10 days.
Confidence boost: Noticeable skin improvement and reduction of visible blemishes in just a few sessions.
Chemical peels:
Best for: Oily, acne-prone skin or surface-level scars
How it works: Application of an acid solution (such as TCA or salicylic acid) to exfoliate damaged skin layers.
Benefits: Fades dark spots
Smooths skin surface
Clear pores
Recovery: Mild flaking to moderate peeling for 3-7 days.
Confidence boost: fresh, clear skin appearance and glow
Dermal fillers for acne scars:

Confidence Boost: Immediate smoothing of deep indentations and refreshed appearance.
PRP (Platelet rich plasma) therapy:
