5 Ways We Treat Acne Scarring

"Acne scarring" actually covers a few different things — sunken (atrophic) scars from lost collagen, raised scars from too much, and flat dark marks that aren't scars at all but post-inflammatory pigmentation fading on its own timeline. Treating all three the same way is why a lot of at-home routines stall out.

For genuine textural scarring, we lean on collagen-rebuilding treatments — our ACR Treatment (Absolute Cell Reversal) accelerates skin's own repair cycle, while ProClear Skin Treatment combines pore-softening extraction with actives that calm the inflammation that causes new scars to form in the first place.

For the flat, discoloured marks left behind after a breakout, Pico Laser with ProRestore is usually the faster route — it shatters pigment into fragments your lymphatic system clears naturally, without the heat damage of older laser types.

Deeper, longer-standing atrophic scarring sometimes needs a mechanical approach — microneedling or dermal fillers to physically rebuild lost volume — and topical retinoids to keep new collagen turning over between sessions.

The honest starting point is always a proper look at what type of scarring you actually have. That's exactly what a Skin Analysis is for — it's the fastest way to find out which of these five actually applies to you before you book anything.
