ACNE SCARRING TREATMENT
Smooth and restore skin affected by acne scarring
If your acne has cleared but you are left with scarring, uneven texture or marks that still affect your confidence, it can feel frustrating when your skin never fully looks “healed”. Many people tell us it changes how they feel without make-up, how their skin looks in certain lighting, or how smooth their skin feels day to day
Even after acne clears, it can leave behind marks and uneven texture that affect how the skin looks and feels. Scars may appear shallow, pitted or discoloured, and for many people, they serve as a daily reminder of a difficult time with their skin.
At Beyoo Medical Aesthetics in Lancaster, we take a medical, results-focused approach to treating acne scarring. Our goal is to rebuild and strengthen the skin from within, improving smoothness and texture while helping you feel comfortable and confident again.
Book your consultation in Lancaster and we will assess your scarring properly and create a personalised plan for smoother, more even skin.
Why patients seek help
Many of our patients come to us after trying creams, exfoliants or facials that made little difference. Acne scarring often needs medical-level intervention to create true change.
Common reasons people seek help include:
- Depressed or indented scars such as rolling or ice-pick scars
- Rough texture that makes make-up sit unevenly
- Discolouration or dark marks left after breakouts
- Skin that feels thin, tight or damaged after years of acne
We design every treatment plan around your skin type, depth of scarring and healing response.

What causes acne scarring
Scars form when inflammation from acne damages the deeper layers of skin. The healing process can create either depressions where tissue has been lost or raised areas where collagen has overproduced.
Factors that make scarring more likely include:
- Picking or squeezing spots
- Deep or cystic acne
- Prolonged inflammation
- Delayed or inadequate treatment during active acne
The good news is that with the right medical treatment, scar tissue can be softened and remodelled over time.
Treatment options at Beyoo
At Beyoo, we use clinically proven techniques to repair and strengthen scarred skin. Treatments are tailored to your needs and may include one or more of the following options.
Medical Microneedling and Subcision
Performed by our nurse prescriber, medical microneedling uses a precision device to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates collagen production and encourages smoother, stronger tissue growth.
For deeper, tethered scars, subcision may be performed within the same session. This technique gently releases fibrous bands beneath the skin that pull scars inward, allowing the surface to lift and heal naturally.
You can expect some redness and mild swelling for one to two days, followed by light flaking for several days as the skin renews itself.
Chemical Peels (Mesoestetic, Obagi and AlumierMD)
Chemical peels remove the damaged surface layers of skin, improving texture and tone. They help reduce visible marks, refine pores and stimulate fresh collagen production. Downtime varies depending on peel depth, ranging from mild flaking to light peeling over several days.
Medical-Grade Skincare (Obagi and Mesoestetic)
Medical skincare supports your results between in-clinic treatments. Products such as Obagi Nu-Derm help promote cell renewal, improve skin tone and maintain collagen activity at home. This combination of professional and home care offers the most balanced, long-term improvement.
Collagen-Stimulating Injectables (Sculptra® and Polynucleotides)
For suitable patients, these injectables can enhance skin firmness and elasticity. They work gradually to boost collagen and improve the overall quality of scarred skin when used alongside other treatments.
Book your consultation and we will recommend the right combination to soften scars, improve texture and strengthen your skin over time.

Recovery & results
Downtime depends on the treatments chosen.
- Microneedling and subcision: mild redness and swelling for one to two days, light flaking for several days
- Chemical peels: peeling or dryness for several days depending on depth
Improvements develop gradually as new collagen forms. Scars appear softer and less visible, and the skin feels smoother and more resilient. Most patients notice visible improvement after a few weeks, with further refinement across a full course of treatments
Safety & reassurance
All microneedling and subcision procedures are carried out by our nurse prescriber, while peels and skin treatments are performed by our experienced skin specialist.
We operate under the guidance of a medical doctor and use only trusted, clinically validated products and systems. Where appropriate, we use ultrasound imaging to guide treatment and enhance precision, ensuring every procedure is performed safely and accurately. Every plan is created with your safety, comfort and skin health in mind.

Frequently asked questions
How many treatments will I need?
This depends on the type and severity of your scarring. Most patients see the best results after a course of three to six sessions, spaced several weeks apart.
Will the results last?
Yes. Once collagen has remodelled, improvements are long-lasting. Occasional maintenance treatments may help preserve results as your skin continues to age naturally.
Is there downtime?
Yes, some. Redness, swelling or light peeling can last for a few days depending on your treatment. We’ll plan your sessions around your schedule.
Are the treatments painful?
Microneedling and subcision are performed with numbing cream for comfort. You may feel mild pressure or tingling, but most patients find the treatment very manageable.
How much does it cost?
You can find our up-to-date prices on our clinic Price List.
