Acne and Acne Scarring Treatments - Sarah White Aesthetics

Understanding Acne: Causes and Effects

Spots, blackheads, and whiteheads can affect individuals of any age and severity, with causes ranging from hormonal fluctuations to blocked hair follicles. When sebaceous glands produce excess sebum and skin cells accumulate, it can lead to blocked pores and the ideal environment for acne bacteria to thrive. As a result, inflammation, redness, and swelling can occur, leading to the formation of spots and potential scarring.

Types of Acne Scars

Acne scars can manifest in various forms, including hypertrophic scars, which result from an excess of collagen during the healing process, and atrophic scars, which involve a loss of tissue. Atrophic scars, such as ice pick and boxcar scars, are more common and can leave depressions in the skin’s surface.

Treatments Available for Acne and Acne Scarring at Sarah White Aesthetics

We offer a range of advanced treatments to address both active acne and scarring, tailored to your individual needs and preferences. Here are some of the options available:

Photofractional

Utilising Lumenis® Photofractional™ technology, this treatment targets a range of skin concerns, including age spots, vascular lesions, and uneven texture. By combining IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) with ResurFX™ non-ablative skin resurfacing, Photofractional rejuvenation stimulates collagen production and improves skin tone and texture simultaneously.

ResurFX

Lumenis M22 ResurFX employs fractionated laser technology to create controlled thermal injuries on the skin’s surface, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This results in firmer, smoother skin, reducing the appearance of acne scarring, enlarged pores, and stretch marks.

Endymed Fractional Skin Resurfacing (FSR)

Endymed FSR utilises radiofrequency technology to rejuvenate the skin, reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. By delivering heat to the skin’s surface and encouraging collagen production, FSR tightens and smooths the skin, promoting a youthful glow.

HydraFacial

The HydraFacial treatment combines multiple skincare approaches into one comprehensive session, including exfoliation, extraction, and hydration. By deeply cleansing and nourishing the skin, HydraFacial delivers instant results, leaving your complexion refreshed and radiant.
