Scars left behind after acne treatment can be very disappointing for patients. These can be thickened keloid like scars or depressed facial scars. Keloid scars are treated with careful combination of steroid injections and steroid tapes. These are delivered over 4-6 months deepending on the response and number of scars.
Facial acne scars are treated with our Diamond ScarTreat programme. This is the only type of programme that delivers two of the most powerful known scar reduction methods in one treatment form.
The programme uses direct injections of platelet rich plasma (PRP) combined with micro-needling. The results are visible faster, with fewer treatments and less down time than without injections

Combination treatment gives faster and better results
Facial scars can be reduced by any method that stimulates the skin’s natural collagen production in the area. The more collagen produced, the better the effect. A microneedling device uses sterilised microneedles to produce numerous tiny areas of skin remodelling. Each opening stimulates the skin to produce new collagen. On its own, this procedure produces a 60%- 65% improvement over 4-6 months.
With the addition of PRP injections, more healthy collagen is produced. The results are faster to see, with less down time and fewer treatments. Patients report an over 85% improvement over 4-6 months. This new collagen is permanent. It does not degrade, dissolve or disappear every 6 months.

When you attend your Scar Reduction consultations
If you have completed our acne cure programme, you will already have been assessed for suitability. Otherwise, at the consultation, our specialist will carefully assess your medical background and the severity of your acne scarring. Through a thorough examination of your skin, the specialist will discuss suitable treatment plans tailored to your unique needs and provide an estimate of the treatment duration (usually 4-6 months).
With your consent, photos will be taken for comparison purposes. A blood sample will be obtained and sent for testing before commencing the treatment to ensure your suitability for the scar reduction injections. Once the test results are back, your first treatment appointment will be scheduled. During the treatment session, a numbing cream will be applied for 20 minutes to minimise discomfort, followed by the collection of blood to be prepared for the scar reduction injections.
After cleaning the skin, the microneedling treatment starts. By the end of this part, the scar reduction serum is ready to be injected
After cleaning up the skin, you will be provided with aftercare instructions, and your next appointment will be booked. At any time throughout your programme, you are encouraged to contact the office with any questions. Our dedicated approach ensures a personalised and informed journey every step of the way.

F.A.Q
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments required depends on the severity of your acne scars and your skin’s response to the treatment. Typically, we recommend a series of 4-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results.
Is micro-needling + collagen stimulant injection painful?
While some patients may experience mild discomfort during the procedure, we take measures to ensure your comfort, such as applying a topical numbing cream beforehand.
How long does it take to see results?
You may start to see improvements in the texture and appearance of your skin within a few weeks of your first treatment. However, the full effects of micro-needling may take several months to become apparent as your skin continues to regenerate.
Is there any downtime after the treatment?
You may experience some redness and mild swelling immediately following the procedure, but these side effects typically subside within a few days. You can resume your normal activities right away, although we recommend avoiding direct sun exposure and wearing sunscreen to protect your skin during the healing process.
Are there any risks associated with collagen stimulant injection + micro-needling?
Collagen stimulant injections + Micro-needling is generally safe when performed by a qualified clinician. However, some potential risks include temporary redness, swelling, bruises, pigmentations, and rarely, scarring and infection. Our dermatologists will discuss all potential risks with you during your consultation.
