What are the types of Acne Scarring?
Ice Pick Scars
Ice Pick acne scars are often narrow, but ‘dig’ deep – usually reaching past the top levels of the skin’s surface. This type of scarring is one of the most common types, along with Boxed scarring.
Rolling Scars
Rolling scarring causes the skin to have an undulating appearance. This is due to damage beneath the skin’s surface. Rolling scars are usually shallow but wide.
Boxed Scars
Similar to ice pick scarring in the fact that they are also common, these scars are wider and feature well-defined edges. They appear more oval in shape.
Lightfusion™ Light Therapy
If you have active acne you’ll know how hard it is to get rid of. You think you’ve just managed to clear one breakout, when another one magically appears. It’s infuriating, and it seems like a never-ending cycle. Time for lightfusion™ Light Therapy. This acne treatment is based on Photo Dynamic Therapy (PDT) and it targets the bacteria that causes acne breakouts. By killing the bacteria that is responsible for acne, your skin is given a chance to clear and heal and the cycle of acne breakouts stops.
Your Leading Acne Scar Specialist London
At Este Medical Group, we believe that we deliver the best acne treatment in London. We offer a range of expert quality, proven acne treatments for a variety of acne conditions. Some of these treatments include:
Pixel Laser Resurfacing for Acne Scars
If you want an acne treatment that can truly focus on just the acne scars, why not consider pixel laser resurfacing? The pixels created by the laser within the skin stimulate new collagen production, leading to tighter, firmer-looking skin.
This treatment is ideal for acne scars as it works towards filling in any depressions caused by acne scarring. It targets acne scars and does not affect the surrounding skin.
Azelan Acne Peel for Acne-Prone Skin
The mesopeel® azelan is one of our go-to treatments for acne-prone skin. This chemical peel contains 20% azelaic acid and 20% salicylic acid and has antifungal and comedolytic properties.
We primarily offer this for treating various stages of acne. It provides minimal downtime, and patients can expect a smoother, more radiant complexion afterwards.
Additional Treatments we offer for Acne
At Este Medical, we offer a range of expert quality, proven acne treatments for a variety of acne conditions.
Your Este Medical skincare specialist will be able to advise you as to which acne treatment will be best for you. We understand that acne is often much more than just a skin problem, as the surrounding psychological factors that come into play when a person is dealing with acne can often become just as big – if not bigger – than the actual acne itself.
Este Medical’s Director, Sam, went through this himself so understands how low it can make you feel. If you’re looking to change things and get help with your acne or acne scarring, get in touch with us today and begin your skin and confidence transformation.
FAQ's
What Causes Acne?
We understand that acne can be caused by a number of factors. It can be hereditary, hormonal, and it can be caused by a testosterone increase during puberty. It is also possible for acne to be caused by certain medications, some makeup products, stress, and even simply by wearing clothing or accessories that place pressure on a specific area of the skin – a headband for instance. Smoking is also said to cause acne in older people.
Whatever the underlying reasons as to why you have acne, it all results in one thing – hair follicles becoming blocked by sebum from surrounding sebaceous glands, and dead skin cells. These plugged hair follicles can either turn into whiteheads or blackheads, and if the (usually) harmless bacteria that lives on our skin then infects the follicles, you can even experience cysts, papules, nodules or pustules. Let our clinic for acne laser treatment in London help you.

Is making up making my acne worse?
You don’t have to stop wearing make up altogether if you have acne, but you should make sure you only use non-comedogenic make up as it doesn’t block your skin’s pores.
Is my face dirty?
Not at all. Acne has a variety of triggers that have nothing to do with the cleanliness of your face. Be sure to not over-cleanse your skin as this can lead to further acne developing.
