Acne and post acne scarring

Treatments you can trust

Acne affects most people at some point, and for some, it persists beyond adolescence due to hormonal, genetic, or environmental factors. Without effective treatment, it can leave lasting marks on both the skin and confidence.

At Method Aesthetics, we offer a clear and evidence-based path to treating both active acne and the scarring it leaves behind. Our approach combines medical-grade skincare, advanced laser therapy, and targeted rejuvenation to help restore smoother, clearer, and more balanced skin.

SUMMARY

Our acne and scar treatments are tailored to your skin’s unique condition and needs. We begin with a thorough consultation to understand your skin, then develop a customised plan that may include:

  • Active Acne Management: Laser technology reduces sebum production, inflammation, and bacteria to help prevent new breakouts.
  • Acne Scar Resurfacing: Fractional laser therapy improves texture, pigmentation, and redness while stimulating collagen renewal.
  • Scar Re-Volumisation: Dermal filler may be used to restore support in areas affected by atrophic or pitted scarring.
  • Subcision Treatment: Releases the fibrous bands that tether deep scars, helping the skin lift and even out.
  • Skincare Guidance: Personalised product recommendations to strengthen the skin barrier and maintain long-term clarity.

 

Our goal is to improve both skin health and confidence through results that look and feel natural.

FAQs

We use a combination of clinically backed treatments such as laser therapy, skin resurfacing, and collagen-stimulating solutions. Each plan is tailored to your skin type, concerns, and goals to minimise breakouts and improve overall texture.

The number of sessions varies based on the severity of active acne or scarring and your skin’s natural healing process. Many clients start to see visible improvements after a few sessions, with optimal results building progressively over time.

Most treatments have minimal downtime, though mild redness or sensitivity can occur for 24–48 hours. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to support healing and ensure the best results.

How soon will I see results?

Results can appear anywhere from a few days to several weeks, depending on the treatment and your body’s natural response. Some treatments provide immediate improvement, while others continue to build collagen and refine results over time. During your consultation, we’ll outline what to expect for your specific treatment plan.

The longevity of results varies based on the treatment type, area treated, and individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle. Most results last between 6 to 18 months for injectables, and several months to years for collagen-stimulating and laser treatments. Regular maintenance sessions can help prolong and enhance your outcomes.

All medical treatments carry some degree of risk, though most side effects are mild and temporary. You may experience minor redness, swelling, or bruising at the treatment site. Following our aftercare instructions greatly reduces the likelihood of complications. Your practitioner will discuss all potential risks during your consultation to ensure your safety.

Most treatments are well tolerated and cause only minimal discomfort. We use advanced techniques and topical or local anaesthetics where appropriate to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Our goal is to make every experience as calm and comfortable as possible.

Downtime is generally minimal. Some treatments allow you to return to your usual activities immediately, while others may involve mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity for a few days. Your practitioner will provide tailored aftercare advice to ensure a smooth and quick recovery.

The number of sessions depends on your goals, the treatment type, and how your skin responds. Many clients see noticeable results after one session, while others benefit from a short treatment series for optimal results. We’ll design a personalised plan during your consultation.

Absolutely. Combining complementary treatments can enhance and extend your results. We’ll create a tailored plan that may include a mix of injectables, laser, and skincare treatments to achieve a balanced, natural outcome.

At Method Aesthetics, we use only scientifically backed, medical-grade products and world-class technology.
