Acne Scarring
Acne Scarring Treatment At Quinn Clinics
Active acne can cause significant distress for those who experience it, resulting in angry, red, and inflamed skin with pustules. With time and appropriate treatment, acne often improves or clears up as individuals enter adulthood. However, even after the acne resolves, scarring may persist, typically presenting as a pitted appearance. Older and more severe scars can be particularly challenging to conceal.
Acne scarring is most effectively treated with Laser Treatment. This treatment rejuvenates the skin and stimulates collagen, which promotes the repair and renewal of damaged skin. We are the largest laser clinic in the southwest and have a suite of lasers to help with all types of acne scarring.
There are many different types of acne scarring, which is why we recommend that you book a consultation with one of our sympathetic and experienced doctors who can advise you of the specific treatment that will address your concern.

TYPES OF ACNE SCARRING
- “Ice pick”
Sharp and deep V-shaped pits characterise scars. These may be treated with Laser & CO2 laser. - “Boxcar”
Scars tend to be squarer and resemble chicken pox scars. They tend to be found on the cheeks and temples. These respond better to medical grade chemical skin peels - “Rolling”
Scars are wide and shallow, giving the skin a wave-like, uneven appearance. These respond well to exfoliation, which improves the surface of the skin - “Hypertrophic”
Scars are raised and lumpy and result from severe acne cysts or nodules. These may be treated with a combination of techniques.
