Personalised Treatments

Every individual’s skin journey is unique, especially when it comes to acne scarring. Our clinic offers personalised acne scarring treatments, catering to a range of scars, including atrophic acne scars, boxcar scars, and deep ice pick scars. We focus on understanding each type of acne scar to provide the most effective treatment for acne scars.

Acne Scar Formation

When acne lesions heal, the skin may produce too much or too little collagen, forming raised or depressed acne scars. This imbalance in the skin healing process is crucial in deciding the right acne scarring treatment. Options like microneedling are designed to normalise wound healing and collagen production.

Acne Scar Treatment Options

Ice Pick Scars

Depending on the severity, we may recommend the Obagi TCA peel, microneedling or both.

Boxcar Scars

Typically require a combination of treatments, including chemical peels and resurfacing procedures, to smooth the scar edges.

Rolling Scars

Treatments like collagen induction therapy (also known as microneedling) or soft tissue fillers are effective in raising depressed scar areas.

Advanced Treatment Modalities at Damalis Skin Clinic

We recommend the following treatments for acne scarring:

  1. Microneedling
    • Microneedling is effective for atrophic scars (pitted or indented scars). This treatment stimulates collagen fibres, promoting skin healing.
  2. Chemical Peels
    • Our chemical peels range includes salicylic acid, lactic acid, glycolic acid, and slow-acting tricholoroacetic acid peels. Different acids target different depths of acne scarring. Light peels work on the outer layer of the skin, while deep peels are more suitable for deeper scars. We use the Obagi range, both the Blue Radiance peel and the TCA peel. We will suggest the best type for your particular case.

What Our Patients Say

5/5
London Patient
Dr. Stephanie Damalis is absolutely fantastic. Professional, friendly and skilled. I got botox for the first time around 3 weeks ago, and I have waited in order to write a fair review. I was nervous, but the results are really fantastic. Today I got my ‘top up’ and it was quite a shock to see the before and after photos. I never had very many visible lines, but I now just look far fresher and more awake. Amazingly she managed to even out my brows (one was higher than the other) whilst also giving me a little brow lift and a super smooth forehead with zero crows feet. People I have not told have complimented my complexion since.
London Patient
Dr Damalis is a physician that really cares about you as an individual. She carefully assesses your needs and allows you to decide the best course of action. I highly respect good, caring physicians: they are few and far between. I can truly say that Dr Damalis is one of this rare finds. She is thorough and takes her time explaining everything. Most comfortable and relaxed experience I have had in the aesthetics chair for sure.
London Patient
Dr Steph did a thorough and honest assessment of my skin, and what treatments I needed. She was very gentle and managed all expectations about the treatment. I was thrilled with the results and will definitely use her services again in the future. Highly recommend!
