What Is Acne Scarring?
Acne scarring develops when inflammatory acne damages the deeper layers of the skin. As the skin repairs itself, changes in collagen production can leave permanent marks, resulting in uneven texture, indentations, or areas of discolouration. Acne scars can affect confidence and are one of the most common reasons people seek professional skin rejuvenation treatments.
The type and severity of acne scarring vary from person to person. Atrophic scars are the most common form and occur when insufficient collagen is produced during healing, leaving depressed areas within the skin.
Types of Acne Scars
Boxcar Scars are broad, shallow depressions with clearly defined edges, often found on the cheeks and temples.
Rolling Scars create a wavy or uneven skin surface caused by fibrous bands pulling the skin downward.
Ice Pick Scars are deep, narrow scars that extend into the skin, making them one of the most challenging forms of acne scarring to treat.
Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation appears as dark or discoloured marks that remain after acne has healed. While not true scars, these marks can persist for months and affect overall skin tone.
Acne scarring may result from severe acne, delayed treatment, frequent picking or squeezing of spots, or genetic factors that influence the skin's healing response. Early intervention can help reduce the risk of permanent scarring.
If you are wondering how to get rid of acne scars, professional treatments often provide the most effective results. At It's Me & You Clinic in Kingston upon Thames, we offer advanced acne scar treatments designed to improve skin texture, stimulate collagen production, and restore a smoother, clearer complexion. Patients from Surbiton, Richmond, Twickenham, Esher, Cobham, and surrounding Surrey and South West London areas regularly visit our clinic for personalised acne scar reduction treatments.
Causes & Symptoms of Acne Scarring
Not everyone who experiences acne develops permanent scarring, but several factors can increase the risk. Severe inflammatory acne, particularly cystic and nodular acne, is more likely to damage the deeper layers of the skin and leave long term scars. Genetics, skin type, delayed acne treatment, and frequent picking or squeezing of spots can also increase the likelihood of acne scarring.
When the skin heals after an acne breakout, changes in collagen production can result in either depressed or raised scars. Individuals with slower healing responses or impaired collagen regeneration may be more prone to developing visible acne scars and uneven skin texture.
Common Symptoms of Acne Scarring
Acne scars can present in several different ways, depending on the severity of skin damage and the healing process.
Depressed Acne Scars include boxcar scars, rolling scars, and ice pick scars, which create visible indentations within the skin.
Uneven Skin Texture may develop due to collagen loss and scar tissue formation, leaving the skin rough or irregular in appearance.
Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation can appear as persistent red, pink, brown, or dark marks that remain after acne has healed, affecting overall skin tone and clarity.
Changes in Skin Thickness may occur, with some scars appearing sunken while others form raised areas of scar tissue.
Beyond the physical effects, acne scarring can impact confidence and self esteem, leading many people to seek professional acne scar treatments. At It's Me & You Clinic in Kingston upon Thames, we provide advanced acne scar reduction treatments for patients from Surbiton, Richmond, Twickenham, Esher, Cobham, and surrounding Surrey and South West London areas seeking smoother, clearer, and healthier looking skin.
Best Acne Scarring Treatments at It's Me & You Clinic
At It’s Me & You Clinic in Kingston upon Thames, we offer a range of advanced, clinically proven treatments to help you achieve smoother skin and visibly reduce acne scars. Our expert-led approach ensures every treatment is precisely matched to your skin type and scar concerns.
Microneedling for Acne Scars
Microneedling involves creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin using very fine needles. This triggers the body's natural healing response, promoting fresh collagen production and enhancing skin renewal. It significantly improves mild to moderate acne scars and hyperpigmentation, leaving skin refreshed and even-toned. Ideal for clients experiencing mild to moderate acne scarring, uneven skin tone, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Chemical Peels for Acne Scars
Chemical peels remove the top layers of damaged skin, revealing healthier, brighter layers beneath. They exfoliate dead cells, diminish discolouration, and improve overall skin texture. Regular peels help lighten post-acne marks and gently smooth superficial scarring. Ideal for superficial acne scars, uneven skin tone, discolouration, and clients seeking overall skin rejuvenation.
Dermal Fillers for Acne Scars
Dermal fillers containing hyaluronic acid can quickly improve the appearance of deep, depressed scars. Fillers precisely lift and smooth out ice-pick scars, boxcar scars, and other noticeable indentations, creating immediate visible improvement. Ideal for clients with deeper acne scars such as ice-pick scars and boxcar scars looking for immediate results with minimal downtime.

The best acne scar treatment depends on your scar type and skin condition; popular options include laser resurfacing, microneedling, and chemical peels. At your consultation, our experts recommend personalised treatments tailored to your skin.
How many sessions do I need for acne scar removal?
Typically, noticeable improvement occurs after 3-6 sessions, depending on scar depth and chosen treatment. Your specialist will outline the exact number required during your initial consultation.
Does laser treatment for acne scars hurt?
Laser treatment may cause mild discomfort described as a warming or snapping sensation. A topical anaesthetic is usually applied to ensure comfort throughout the procedure.
Can microneedling completely remove acne scars?
Microneedling significantly reduces acne scars by boosting collagen production, improving skin texture, and smoothing scars. While complete removal is not always possible, microneedling greatly improves overall appearance.
How much does acne scar treatment cost in London?
The cost of acne scar treatments varies depending on method, scar severity, and number of sessions. Contact our Kingston clinic for a personalised quote and detailed pricing information.

Most clients notice visible improvements within 4-6 weeks after initial treatments, with optimal results usually after completing a recommended treatment plan. Long-term improvements develop as collagen continues to regenerate.
