If you’re struggling with the lasting marks of past breakouts, you’re not alone—around 95% of people with acne experience some form of scarring. Fortunately, advanced acne scarring treatment in Leicester can help restore your skin’s texture and boost your confidence.
Acne scars form when severe inflammation damages the skin’s deeper layers. When the walls of clogged pores rupture, debris spreads into surrounding tissue, leading to dermal injury. The skin then attempts to heal itself, which can result in uneven texture, discoloration, and various types of scars.
Acne scars develop when the skin’s texture and pigmentation are permanently altered due to damage caused by inflammatory acne lesions. When debris from acne spots breaches the follicle wall, it spreads into the surrounding tissue, triggering inflammation and injury to the dermis and epidermis. This process can lead to various types of scarring, including:
Effective acne scar treatment requires a comprehensive approach to address each of these concerns. By targeting pigmentation, redness, and scarring while stimulating skin repair, we help remodel damaged tissue into smoother, healthier, and more even-toned skin. At Leicester MediSpa, our advanced, tailored treatments are designed to deliver visible and long-lasting improvements for all skin types.
At Leicester MediSpa, we offer a pioneering combination treatment for acne scarring that combines the power of RF microneedling with fractional CO2 laser resurfacing. This advanced approach provides highly effective results. The synergy between these two treatments provides enhanced outcomes for acne scarring: The RF microneedling treatment creates micro-injuries in the skin, which helps to break down scar tissue and stimulates fibroblast activity, promoting collagen production.
Immediately following this, the CO2 laser treatment enhances epidermal neocollagenesis and resurfaces the skin. This dual approach ensures optimal results by stimulating skin remodelling, allowing us to use a gentler CO2 resurfacing technique and reducing downtime.
To further enhance your results, we often recommend the application of exosomes immediately post treatment. Exosomes are micro-vesicles that contain thousands of growth factors, peptides, cytokines, and nutrients with hyaluronic acid designed to support skin regeneration. They help to boost collagen and elastin production, improve skin hydration, reduce inflammation and pigmentation, and accelerate healing. This combination of RF microneedling, CO2 laser, and exosomes provides a transformative approach to improving skin texture, tone, and overall appearance.
SecretRF combines the precision of microneedling with the rejuvenating power of radiofrequency energy to effectively treat acne scarring. Using ultra-fine needles that penetrate the skin at precise depths (adjustable by increments of 0.1mm), this innovative device creates controlled microchannels in the skin. Simultaneously, radiofrequency heat energy is delivered to stimulate the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. This dual-action process remodels the skin’s structure, smoothing scars and improving overall texture. With its advanced motor mechanism, insulated needles, and minimal downtime, SecretRF is a highly effective treatment that is safe for all skin types.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) laser resurfacing is considered the gold standard treatment for acne scars. Fractional CO2 laser utilises advanced technology to deliver targeted, controlled micro-injuries to the skin. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing response, encouraging the production of new collagen, elastin, and natural skin hydrators. As the skin repairs itself, scarred and uneven areas are gradually replaced with smoother, rejuvenated skin, improving both texture and tone.
Unlike traditional resurfacing methods, fractional CO2 laser technology treats only a fraction of the skin at a time, leaving surrounding tissue intact to promote faster healing and minimise downtime. This approach allows us to tailor treatments to the specific needs of your scars—whether rolling, boxcar, or ice-pick—while maintaining safety and comfort. With each session, visible improvements become more apparent, as scarred tissue remodels and healthy skin takes its place.
The ClearSkin Pro, utilises an erbium glass laser, effectively treating acne scarring by delivering precise fractional laser energy to the skin. This energy penetrates the dermis, stimulating collagen and elastin production while creating controlled micro-injuries that promote the skin’s natural healing process. These micro-injuries encourage skin remodelling, which helps to improve the texture of acne scars, including atrophic scars like ice pick, boxcar, and rolling scars. The laser’s ability to target deeper layers of the skin without damaging the surface results in minimal downtime and enhanced skin renewal, leading to a more even complexion.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses fine needles to create micro-channels in the skin’s surface, which stimulates the skin’s natural healing response and encourages the production of collagen and elastin. The depth of the needling and the topical nutrients applied during the treatment play a significant role in determining the procedure’s effectiveness. This treatment is particularly beneficial for improving skin texture, tone, and reducing the appearance of acne scars. By activating the body’s regenerative processes, microneedling helps to minimise scars and imperfections, leaving the skin smoother and more even.
Polynucleotides are an advanced bio-stimulator that offers an effective solution for improving acne scars by stimulating collagen production. Delivered via fine needle injections beneath the skin, polynucleotides activate fibroblast cells, which play a key role in collagen synthesis and skin regeneration. This targeted approach helps remodel acne-scarred skin, restoring a smoother and more even texture.
natural regenerative processes to restore skin elasticity, remodel scars, and achieve a more youthful and revitalised appearance.
Acne inflammation can disrupt melanocytes, the pigment-producing cells in your skin. When these cells are triggered, they release excess pigment unevenly, leading to dark patches or discoloration known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). At Leicester MediSpa, we specialise in addressing PIH by targeting its root causes: calming inflammation, preventing new pigment production, and promoting the natural shedding of discoloured skin.
Our tailored treatments incorporate evidence-based medical-grade skincare products with clinically proven ingredients like Vitamin A, Vitamin C, hydroquinone, and glycolic acid. These powerful formulations work together to restore your skin’s clarity and improve its overall texture, leaving you with a brighter, more even complexion.
Cosmelan Peel is a revolutionary, industry-leading treatment designed to address all types of pigmentation, including melasma, and significantly improve acne scarring. This advanced peel works by deeply resurfacing the skin to eliminate unwanted pigment while enhancing overall skin texture and health. The unique formulation not only targets dark spots and discoloration but also works to blend the skin tone, creating a smoother, more even complexion. Ideal for individuals struggling with persistent acne scars, Cosmelan Peel helps to fade discoloration and promote a clearer, rejuvenated appearance, giving you visibly smoother skin.
