ACNE SCARS TREATMENT IN HAMPSEAD, NORTH WEST LONDON
Acne scars are a common and often frustrating reminder of past breakouts. They occur when inflammation from acne disrupts the skin’s natural healing process, leading to permanent changes in texture and structure. While active acne may settle, scarring can remain long after, affecting confidence and skin quality.
At The Heath Clinic, we take a regenerative approach to treating acne scars. Rather than resurfacing aggressively, we focus on stimulating your skin’s own repair mechanisms to rebuild collagen, improve texture and strengthen the skin over time. This allows for gradual, natural-looking improvement with long-term benefits.
Acne scars form when deep inflammation damages collagen in the skin. As the skin heals, it may produce too little or too much collagen, leading to different types of scarring.
Common acne scars include:
Secret RF combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to deliver controlled heat into the deeper layers of the skin. This stimulates new collagen and elastin production, helping to soften the appearance of acne scars and improve overall skin firmness and texture.
Secret RF is particularly effective for deeper or more established scars and can be used across the face with minimal downtime. Results develop gradually as the skin rebuilds itself over the weeks and months following treatment.
Microneedling creates tiny microchannels in the skin, triggering a natural healing response and collagen production. When combined with exosomes, which are powerful regenerative messengers derived from stem cells, the repair process is enhanced.
Exosomes help reduce inflammation, support faster healing and promote healthier skin regeneration. This combination is especially effective for improving skin texture, reducing scar depth and enhancing overall skin quality.
Acne scar treatment is a process rather than a single session. Most patients benefit from a course of treatments spaced several weeks apart. Improvements are progressive, with skin becoming smoother, stronger and more even over time.
We often combine Secret RF and microneedling with exosomes within a treatment plan to target scars at different depths and maximise results.
