What is acne scarring?
Acne scarring is a side effect of acne and can be treated effectively with a range of innovative treatments which drastically reduce and improve scars. Our Regenlite® laser treats acne and acne scarring simultaneously, reducing the overall number of treatments required.
What causes acne scarring?
Acne scarring is caused when too much collagen forms in a particular spot where an acne wound is healing, often developing in the dermis where the original acne caused inflammation.

Acne scarring treatments
Regenlite© Pulsed Dye Laser
The Regenlite pulsed dye laser delivers a very specific wavelength which triggers an immune response in skin, reducing inflammation caused by acne and killing bacteria.
The laser also stimulates your collagen production, therefore rejuvenating your skin, improving the overall texture and smoothness.
The Regenlite laser is used for treating acne and acne scarring, dull skin, fine lines & wrinkles, red veins, redness, scarring, Rosacea and stretch marks.
Recovery time

Number of treatments
3 – 6
Aftercare
Mineral make up can be applied but avoid using anti-inflammatory products/medication.
Keep the area cool for 48 hours post treatment and treat as sensitive skin using only mild non perfumed products.
Skin Peels (Epionce)
Skin peels are a non invasive treatment for all skin types and many skin conditions.
During the treatment a chemical solution is applied to the skin that causes it to exfoliate and eventually peel off. The new, regenerated skin is smoother, brighter, rejuvenated and less congested.
Epionce SAL-E Salicylic Acid skin peel
Salicylic acid belongs to the beta hydroxy acid family of acids. Great for reducing oil and congestion in the skin. When used as a peel, this type of acid is good for those who have pimples and acne.
Epionce Lite Peel: Refresh
Formulated to improve the appearance and texture of the skin by increasing cell turnover, the one-step, Aesthetic-strength Lite Peel relieves skin congestion, dullness, sallowness and improves acne, fine lines and wrinkles with no downtime.
Epionce MAL-E Malic Acid skin peel
Exfoliates dead cells on the outermost layer of the skin and promotes cell turnover, leaving skin brighter and more even, and also helping to keep pores unclogged.
Anyone looking to fade discoloration and/or achieve more radiant skin, as well as those who are acne-prone. It’s also a good skin peel for people with sensitive skin , fines lines and wrinkles and for those whom other acids may be too irritating.
3D LED Therapy
LED (light emitting diode) therapy is a non invasive, safe and effective light based treatment that uses varying wavelengths of red, yellow, green and blue light to improve the health and overall function of the skin.
LED therapy helps to improve various skin conditions such as acne, acne scarring, blackheads, dry, rough or dull skin, Rosacea and fine lines and wrinkles. It also tightens and lifts the skin and reduces damage caused to the skin by environmental factors that result in sun damage and pigmented lesions.

Microneedling
What is microneedling?
Microneedling (collagen induction therapy) is a dermal roller procedure that uses small needles to prick the skin.
How does it work?
Microneedling works by encouraging your skin to produce collagen. The tiny pinpricks delivered by the treatment creates the skin’s natural healing response. The skin responds by making new collagen-rich tissue. This new skin tissue is, in turn, more even in tone and texture with an improved and tighter appearance.
Please note that a topical anaesthetic cream will be applied to numb the skin prior to treatment.

Microdermabrasion
What is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a cosmetic skin exfoliation procedure that uses a mildly abrasive diamond tipped hand piece to lightly buff away dead skin cells, whilst a gentle vacuum suction works to dispose of them. It can be used on the all areas of the face and body and leaves the skin soft, smooth and invigorated.
How does Microdermabrasion work?
Microdermabrasion works by buffing away dead cells from the skin surface, these cells can build up, blocking the pores and leaving the skin looking dull and congested, by buffing the dead cells away it helps to unblock pores and even out skin tone, leaving the skin brighter, clearer, softer and smoother.
This is a gentle treatment that is suitable for all skin types and is particularly good for treating dry skin, blackheads, open pores, pigmentation and fine lines.
