Scars tell a story but you don’t have to keep reading it every time you look in the mirror. Whether from acne, surgery, injury or chickenpox, scarring can affect confidence long after the skin has healed.
Modern scar treatment has come a long way. At La Belle Clinic we combine collagen-stimulating technologies with resurfacing lasers and regenerative treatments to progressively rebuild smoother, healthier-looking skin.
Understanding Scarring
Scars form when the skin repairs itself after injury with collagen fibres that differ from normal skin. Acne scarring is the most common type we treat and can appear as depressions (ice pick, boxcar, rolling scars), raised areas, or lingering discolouration.
Common Causes
- Acne: inflamed breakouts damage collagen as they heal
- Surgery or injury: wounds that heal with visible scar tissue
- Picking and squeezing: trauma that deepens post-acne marks
- Genetics: some skin types scar more readily than others
How We Treat Scarring
Frequently Asked Questions
Scars cannot be erased entirely, but their appearance can be improved dramatically often by 50-80% or more. The earlier a scar is treated, the better the outcome.
It depends on your scar type. Rolling and shallow scars respond well to micro needling, while deeper boxcar and ice-pick scars usually need fractional laser. Most clients benefit from a combination plan built at consultation.
Scar remodelling takes time most clients need 3-6 sessions spaced several weeks apart, with results continuing to improve for months as new collagen forms.
Yes but technology selection matters. We choose treatments and settings that are safe and effective for your specific skin tone during your consultation.
