Acne Scar Treatment in Chelsea

What acne scar treatment does
Dr Sultan looks at the type of scarring first. Rolling, boxcar and ice-pick scars do not all respond to the same treatment.
The plan usually combines resurfacing with something that works deeper.
Recovery after acne scar treatment
Depends on the treatment chosen. CO2 laser needs several days of downtime.
Is acne scar treatment right for you?
Acne scarring is treated over a course, usually with more than one technique, and it is improved rather than erased. Dr Sultan confirms the time in the chair, the recovery and the final fee at your consultation.
It usually suits
- Scarring left behind after the acne itself has settled
- Texture and indentation rather than active spots
- You accept improvement rather than perfect skin
It is the wrong treatment if
- Your acne is still active and needs treating first
- You want one appointment and a finished result
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding
What acne scar treatment is used for
- Acne scarring
- Acne scarring is improved over a course rather than erased in one appointment. Anyone promising otherwise is not being straight with you.
- Scars and keloids
- A scar can be made flatter, paler and less obvious. It cannot be removed, because taking a scar out leaves a scar.
Treatments that work with acne scar treatment
- Morpheus8
- Usually the backbone of a scarring plan.
- CO2 laser resurfacing
- Stronger, with a week of downtime.
- PRP treatment
- Sometimes combined with the above.
Please read This page describes acne scar treatment in general terms. It is not medical advice and it is not a diagnosis. Whether acne scar treatment is right for you can only be decided by Dr Sultan after he has examined you. Every procedure carries risks, and he goes through the ones relevant to you at your consultation. If you are unwell, or you are under the care of another doctor, tell him before you book.
Common questions
Can acne scars be removed completely?
They can be significantly improved. Complete removal is not a realistic promise and Dr Sultan will not make one.
Which treatment is best for acne scars?
It depends on the scar type, which is what the consultation establishes.
How much is a consultation?
A consultation is £150. It covers a full assessment and a written treatment plan.
