Clinical Treatment Modalities for Acne and Acne Scarring

1. Laser-Based Skin Resurfacing

Advanced laser technology may be used to support the treatment of acne scars by targeting damaged skin layers and encouraging new collagen formation. Some systems combine fractional patterns with high-speed pulses for more precise targeting of scars while minimising downtime.

These treatments may:

• Smooth uneven skin texture
• Stimulate collagen remodeling
• Improve the appearance of depressed acne scars

A series of sessions may be advised depending on individual skin condition and response.

2. Injectable Skin Repair Treatments

Injectable protocols using polynucleotide or DNA-based compounds may be considered for skin rejuvenation and acne scar support. These formulations aim to stimulate the skin’s regenerative response, encouraging collagen production and reducing visible scarring over time.

Benefits may include:

• Enhanced tissue healing
• Improved skin elasticity
• Reduction in acne-related scarring

3. Plasma-Based Skin Regeneration

Plasma energy therapy delivers thermal energy to the skin's surface and deeper layers using ionised gas. At higher energy levels, it may support skin tightening and contouring, while lower settings may help reduce early signs of ageing or active acne lesions.

Treatment effects can include:

• Skin resurfacing
• Improved texture and tone
• Support for collagen and elastin renewal

4. Radiofrequency Skin Remodeling

This treatment uses controlled thermal energy delivered through microneedling or a fractional pattern to stimulate the skin’s repair process. It may be suitable for those seeking non-laser options for acne scar reduction.

Benefits may include:

• Stimulation of fibroblasts and collagen production
• Reduction in acne scars and enlarged pores
• Smoother and firmer skin texture over time

Consultation Matters

Not all acne and acne scars are the same. A doctor-led consultation helps ensure a proper assessment of your skin and the selection of the most appropriate approach. At Cambridge Medical Group, our team will guide you through available options based on your skin type, concerns, and goals.
