Acne Scar Treatment - Sydney (Bondi)
Revitalise Your Skin: Expert Acne Scar
Treatment Solutions
Acne scar treatment in Sydney has evolved significantly, offering advanced and effective solutions for those struggling with the lasting effects of acne. There are various treatment options available, each designed to address different types of scarring and meet individual skin needs, from innovative laser therapies to specialised skin resurfacing techniques.
What causes acne scarring?
Acne scarring occurs when severe or persistent acne, particularly inflammatory types like cysts and nodules, damages the skin and the tissue beneath it. During the healing process of acne, the body produces collagen. If the skin produces too little or too much collagen, scars can form. Excessive collagen leads to raised scars, while insufficient collagen results in depressed or deep pitted scars.
What treatment options are there for acne scarring?
Acne scar treatments vary, including laser treatments, our signature range of herbal peels, dermal fillers, and skin needling. Each targets different types of acne scars, like ice pick scars, rolling scars, keloid scars, or hypertrophic scars. These treatments aim to improve skin texture and promote collagen production, aiding the healing process.
Our dermal therapists are passionate about educating you during your time with us so that you feel equipped to look after your skin at home, whilst seeing improvements from any dermal treatments you are receiving. We find that oftentimes the skin barrier needs to be strengthened or healed to prevent any further breakouts.
Candidates
Am I a good candidate for
acne scarring treatment?
Good candidates for acne scar reduction treatments typically have distinct acne scars without active acne. Skin type, scar severity, and overall skin health are key factors. Consulting with one of our skincare professionals can help determine the most effective treatment for your specific needs.
Are there any possible risks or side effects of acne scarring treatment?
Possible risks of acne scarring treatments include redness, swelling, and sensitivity at the treatment site. On rare occasions, more serious side effects like infection, changes in skin tone, or scar tissue formation can occur with more invasive procedures. However, when carried out by a qualified professional these risks are significantly reduced.
Procedure
How is acne scar treatment in Sydney
carried out at Face Plus?
At Face Plus Aesthetic, we have a number of different options to treat acne scarring. These treatments are carefully selected based on your skin type and the nature of the scars.
Laser Treatment for Skin Resurfacing
Laser treatment, specifically skin resurfacing, is highly effective for treating acne scars. It involves using focused light beams to remove damaged skin layers, stimulating the skin’s natural healing process and boosting collagen.
As the skin heals, new cells grow, smoothing the skin surface and reducing the visibility of scars. This process also encourages collagen production, helping to repair areas where the skin loses collagen due to scarring.
Herbal Skin Peels
Our range of Herbal Skin Peels involves applying a mix of herbs to the skin, which exfoliates the top layers and reveals fresher, less scarred skin underneath. This treatment is particularly effective for less severe acne scars and can significantly improve the skin’s overall texture and tone. By removing the outermost layers, herbal peels encourage new, healthier skin growth, reducing the appearance of scars.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are used to treat deep acne scars, such as deep pitted or atrophic scars. They involve injecting substances, like hyaluronic acid, beneath the scar to raise the skin surface, creating a smoother appearance. Dermal fillers are a temporary solution, as they naturally break down in the body over time, but they offer immediate improvement in the appearance of deep scars. Skin boosters may also help.
Skin Needling
Skin needling, or collagen induction therapy, involves using a device with fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. This process stimulates the skin’s natural healing response, promoting collagen and elastin production. It’s particularly effective for treating rolling scars and improving overall skin texture. By encouraging the skin to regenerate, skin needling can substantially reduce the visibility of acne scars over time.

What determines the best acne scar treatment?

Factors like skin type, scar depth, and desired results influence the treatment plan. Ongoing assessment is key to achieving optimal outcomes.

Downtime after acne scarring treatments depends on the procedure’s intensity. Laser treatments and herbal peels may require a few days to weeks of recovery, whereas treatments like skin needling typically have shorter downtime. Follow-up care is essential to support the healing process.
How often should I have treatments?
Treatment frequency for acne scarring depends on the chosen method and individual healing process. Procedures like laser resurfacing may require several weeks between sessions, while others like dermal fillers might have longer intervals. Consistent follow-up with a skincare professional ensures safe and effective treatment scheduling.
