Acne Scarring

Acne scarring can leave a permanent mark on a person’s confidence and self esteem. Acne itself is a devastating skin disease and made all the more distressing by the damage that can be left behind. Poor skin condition, pigmentation changes and uneven skin texture, can all leave a permanent reminder of the distress associated with acne.

Scarring can range from minor depressions in the skin to full-blown 'ice pick' scars. These scars can be difficult to hide, even with the thickest of camouflage make up. These scars do improve slowly with age but usually more severe ice pick scarring needs clinical intervention to improve the cosmetic appearance.

Pigmentation marks or post inflammatory hyper pigmentation caused by spots, can also be distressing, with the tone of the skin looking blotchy and uneven, again, difficult to camouflage and causing distress to the sufferer. Pigmentation issues are often easy to improve and skin responds well to treatment.

Post Acne skin is often in a generally poor condition and usually needs a good dose of TLC. A decent active skin care range, good dietary advice and a medically based, skin treatment program, can usually improve the skins appearance dramatically
