Skin conditions such as acne scarring and excess pigmentation of scars may seem to be a reminder of the adolesence for some, and may certainly play a role in low self-esteem.

Acne scarring is the most common residual problem associated with the condition. Although acne is treatable, it can often leave you with bumpy, uneven skin. Here at The Private Clinic, we have a variety of treatments tailored to get rid of and remove acne scars. We use a combination of effective treatments to reduce any visible scars and smooth out uneven skin and pigmentation. The treatment plan is compiled based on the severity of your scarring and will be discussed with you during your consultation.

Thanks to our innovative approach and the expertise of our specialist medical teams, we are able to offer a range of treatments from topical medical products to micro-needling and laser treatments to rid your skin of acne scars and any discolouration caused.

Skin laser acne scar treatments should be carried out by qualified medical staff in medical clinics. Our acne scar removal skin clinics are located in London Harley Street, Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester and Northampton.

FAQs

  • What does the treatment involve?

    The Pixel Laser is a high-energy beam of light that is directed onto damaged areas of skin. The laser removes the epidermis and upper dermis on targeted zones, which triggers the body’s natural healing process and stimulates the growth of healthy new skin. The advantage of the Pixel Laser over other laser treatments is that it can treat very small areas of skin leaving the surrounding tissue untouched and undamaged.

  • How long does the treatment take?

    This will depend on the size of the area to be treated. Sessions can last from a few minutes to half an hour and we usually recommend a course of three to five treatments every four to six weeks.

  • How much does Acne Scars treatment cost?

    Consultations with our experienced skin and laser practitioners are £25 however this cost is redeemable against the price of any skin treatment that you wish to book following your consultation. Prices for Laser Skin Resurfacing start from £500. IPL Photorejuvenation treatment prices start from £200. Microneedling/Dermaroller treatment starts from £280 for single sessions or £850 for a course of 4 treatments. Chemical Peel treatments costs start from £75 for a single session. Medical Microdermabrasion prices start from £65 for a single session and £325 for a course. All acne scar treatment prices will vary depending on the number of treatments needed. You will be given an accurate quote following your consultation. You can also arrange a consultation to seek advice from one of London’s top Consultant Dermatologists. The cost of a dermatologist consultation is £200. This is only available at our London Harley Street clinic.

  • How soon will I see the results?

    You should start to see results after your very first session of this scar laser treatment, however, the final results won’t be visible until the end of your course of treatment.

  • What is the recovery process?

    For several hours after treatment your skin will feel tight, and look ‘sunburned’ and swollen. It may look pinkish for another five to seven days, while the swelling should go down after one to three days. For this reason you may want to spend a day or two at home, depending on your job. As your skin starts to heal it may flake a little which can last for up to two weeks.

    Excellent treatment guided by Dr.Nicholas Kalavrezos and the Anaesthesia Team led by Dr Martinez. It was mg first time under General A and I wasn’t too excited. From start to finish all the nurses were superb, the room was clean and my food was also yummy. Sometimes it pays to sort your Private Medical Insurance our. The surgery was booked in less than a week after my 2nd consultation. MRSA and Covid Test also were done prior. I can not recommend The Harley Street Clinic enough.Thank you everyone. Regards Monica

    Had a FUE hair transplant on 16 December with Dr Furqan Raja.He and the two nurses he worked with were fantastic!They made me feel very comfortable throughout the procedure and constantly checked in with me. I had 1700 grafts taken from the back of my head and put into the front where I had gone bald either side of my windows peak.It took a bit longer than I thought (about 8.5 hours) but this was due to the high quality, attention to detail and best result they wanted to achieve for me.I had the procedure done at the Leeds clinic but could have chosen Manchester too. I travelled two hours there and back in one day.I am now following the after care information they gave me and also the full kit of products they provided (all included in the price) to help me make sure I look after the new grafts properly.I have follow up appointments with the nurse and access to an emergency on call nurse 24/7 if required. But so far, I have no pain and everything is exactly as described to me in advance of the procedure.I did a LOT of research online and found many of the other national FUE/FUT hair transplant clinics too sales driven and very pushy. Dr Furqan Raja and the team at the private clinic gave me time and space to decide on what was right for me, and importantly they never sold to me but just answered all my questions in a professional, caring and trustworthy manor.This is why I chose them and looking at the early results I am pleased I did!If you speak to other clinics and do your research, make sure you also book a consultation with The Private Clinic. Alex Clair in Manchester was my Patient Coordinator and he went out of his way to help me and gave me lots of free, practical and helpful information up front.Their straightforward, honest and friendly approach was great throughout. Highly recommended Dr Furqan Raja, Alex Clair and the whole team.

    All of a sudden I noticed these veins under my eyes, it was soooo upsetting to see everyday! I didn’t think I could do anything about them. Until I googled and it came up with Harley street and they did removal of under eye veins. I rang the them up and they was so helpful! And from there I was booked in and was so happy to know I can get something done! Everytime I called up nothing was a problem and was always happy to talk to me and answer any questions I had. When it came to the day of the procedure, Marie was so calming and made me feel as relaxed as possible. It was a little uncomfortable but soooo worth it as the results are amazing! Very happy I chose Harley street for the this treatment! Thankyou so much!

    I had treatment with Nurse Marie. She was so kind. The first treatment was rather painful and when I came in for my second round I was very nervous. Marie was so caring, she totally understood and took her time treating. Would definitely recommend.

    Anti – aging treatments with Dr Santa Cruz are a must for me. I have been seeing her for about 3 years now at the Private Clinic of Harley Street. Very knowledgeable and takes before and after photos which have been incredibly helpful when we want to see how much of a difference the treatment has made. I would highly recommend her as her treatments are 100% effective and painless. Also I feel safe with the covid -safe measures they have in place.
