Scars, whether from acne, surgery, or trauma, can deeply affect your confidence and self-esteem. To address this, we offer advanced Fractional Laser Treatment designed to significantly reduce the appearance of scars and rejuvenate your skin.
Our groundbreaking technology, combined with our skilled team of skincare professionals, precisely targets damaged skin to help you achieve smoother, more even-toned skin with minimal downtime.
Unlike traditional laser treatments that cover large areas, fractional lasers create microscopic wounds, which stimulate your body’s natural healing processes. However, it is important to understand that reducing scars with fractional laser treatment is a journey. Scars can be challenging to treat and may require a combination of treatments to achieve optimal results.
We will also perform a patch test on the edge of the scar to determine how it responds to the laser. The procedure is relatively quick, and we apply a numbing cream to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment.
Ideal candidates for fractional laser scar removal treatment generally include individuals with various types of scarring, such as ice pick, boxcar, and rolling acne scars, as well as surgical and trauma scars. Additionally, those seeking to improve uneven skin texture or address sun damage may also benefit from this treatment.
Candidates should also have realistic expectations, as achieving optimal results may require multiple sessions. Good general health and the absence of active skin infections are essential. Non-smokers or those willing to quit smoking are preferred, as smoking can hinder the healing process.
Although fractional lasers can be adjusted for various skin types, a consultation may be necessary for individuals with specific skin conditions or very dark skin.
Any scar you wish to have treated should be at least 6 months old and fully healed before undergoing fractional laser treatment. This timeframe ensures that the scar has matured and that the treatment will be both safe and effective. To determine whether this approach is suitable for you and your specific scar concerns, we conduct a thorough consultation and medical assessment. This process includes a detailed evaluation of your medical history and the condition of your scar. A patch test is also performed to assess how your skin responds to the laser, allowing us to tailor the treatment to your individual needs and ensure the best possible outcomes.
A patch test must be conducted at least seven days before your scheduled treatment. This preliminary test is crucial for evaluating how your skin responds to the fractional laser and ensuring that there is no risk of the scar developing into a keloid. During this period, we carefully monitor the test area for any adverse reactions or unusual responses. Once our practitioner is satisfied with the results and confident that the treatment will not lead to keloid formation, we can proceed with the full procedure. To ensure your comfort throughout the treatment, a local anaesthetic will be applied to numb the area, and a cooling machine will be used to manage and mitigate the heat generated by the laser. This combined approach helps to minimise any discomfort and ensures a smoother, more comfortable experience.
The preliminary patch test is crucial for assessing how your skin responds to the fractional laser. We will carefully review the results to ensure that the treatment is suitable for your specific scar and skin type. Only after the practitioner is completely satisfied with the test results will we proceed with the full laser scar reduction treatment. To maximise your comfort, a local anaesthetic will be applied, and a cooling machine will be used to manage and regulate the heat generated by the laser.
Fractional laser treatment is a highly effective method for reducing scars. It works by creating thousands of tiny micro-injuries in the skin, targeting scar tissue while leaving surrounding areas unaffected. This process stimulates natural healing, increases collagen and elastin production, and resurfaces the skin to improve texture and tone.
Potential side effects of fractional laser treatment typically include temporary redness, swelling, and mild discomfort in the treated area. These reactions are common and generally subside within a few days as your skin begins to heal. In rare cases, more significant side effects such as infection or scarring may occur, although these are uncommon. To ensure you are fully informed, all potential risks and side effects will be thoroughly discussed with you during your pre-treatment consultation.
Initial improvements may be visible after a few weeks, but optimal results usually become apparent after several months, as the skin continues to heal and remodel.
At our clinic, located in the heart of Covent Garden, London, we offer advanced Fractional Laser Scar Reduction treatments designed to reduce the appearance of scars and achieve smoother, more even skin.

After undergoing laser treatment for acne scars or other facial scars, it is advisable to avoid applying makeup for the first 24 to 48 hours. Following this period, you may resume using makeup as long as your skin feels comfortable and the makeup does not irritate the treated area.
