ACNE SCAR TREATMENT IN LANCASTER
Advanced treatments to smooth and restore skin affected by acne scars
If your acne has cleared but you’re left with acne scars, 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 scars and uneven skin texture that affect both the appearance and feel of your skin. Acne scars may appear shallow, pitted or discoloured, and for many people they serve as a lasting reminder of a difficult time with their skin.
At Beyoo Medical Aesthetics, Skin and Laser in Lancaster, we take a medical, results-focused approach to acne scar treatment. Depending on the type and severity of your scars, we may recommend advanced treatments including ResurFX fractional laser, medical microneedling with subcision, chemical peels and medical-grade skincare. Our goal is to rebuild and strengthen the skin from within, improving skin texture and helping you feel comfortable and confident again.
Book your consultation in Lancaster and we’ll assess your skin carefully before creating a personalised treatment plan designed around your individual scars and skin goals.
Why patients seek help
Many of our patients come to us after trying creams, exfoliants or facials with little improvement. Acne scars affect the deeper layers of the skin, meaning meaningful improvement often requires advanced treatments that stimulate the skin’s natural repair processes.
Common reasons people seek help include:
- Depressed scars, including rolling, boxcar and ice-pick scars
- Rough skin texture that makes make-up sit unevenly
- Discolouration or dark marks left after breakouts
- Skin that feels uneven or damaged following acne
Every treatment plan is tailored to your skin type, the type of acne scars present and your individual goals.
Not sure what type of acne scars you have? Book a consultation and we’ll guide you towards the most appropriate treatment for your skin.
What causes acne scarring
Acne scars develop when inflammation damages the deeper layers of the skin. During healing, the skin may produce too little collagen, creating depressed scars, or too much collagen, leading to raised scars.
Factors that increase the likelihood of acne scars include:
- Deep or cystic acne
- Prolonged inflammation
- Picking or squeezing spots
- Delayed or inadequate treatment during active acne
The good news is that with the right acne scar treatment, scar tissue can be remodelled over time, helping to improve skin texture, strength and overall skin quality.
Acne Scar treatment options at Beyoo
No two acne scars are the same. Different scar types respond to different treatments, which is why a detailed skin assessment is an important part of creating an effective treatment plan.
At Beyoo, we offer a range of advanced treatments to improve acne scars. The most appropriate option depends on the type, depth and severity of your scars, as well as your skin type and treatment goals.
ResurFX Fractional Laser
ResurFX is one of our leading treatments for improving the appearance of acne scars. This advanced non-ablative fractional laser stimulates collagen production beneath the skin while leaving the skin’s surface intact, helping to remodel scar tissue and improve skin texture over time with minimal downtime.
ResurFX may be particularly suitable for:
- Mild to moderate acne scars
- Rolling and boxcar scars
- Uneven skin texture
- Patients looking for minimal downtime
Treatment time: 30–45 minutes
Downtime: Mild redness for one to three days
Results: Improvements continue to develop over the following weeks and months as collagen naturally remodels.

Medical Microneedling and Subcision
Performed by our nurse prescriber, medical microneedling stimulates collagen production by creating controlled micro-injuries within the skin.
For deeper or tethered acne scars, subcision may be recommended within the same session. This technique gently releases the fibrous bands beneath the skin that pull scars downwards, allowing the skin to heal more evenly.
Microneedling and subcision are often recommended for deeper acne scars or as part of a personalised treatment plan alongside ResurFX where appropriate.
Treatment time: 45–60 minutes
Downtime: Mild redness and swelling for one to two days, followed by light flaking.

Chemical Peels
Medical-grade chemical peels from Mesoestetic, Obagi and AlumierMD encourage healthy skin renewal while improving skin tone and refining the skin’s surface. They can be particularly beneficial where post-acne marks or uneven skin tone remain alongside acne scars.
Treatment time: 30–45 minutes
Downtime: Mild flaking to light peeling, depending on the peel selected.

Medical-Grade Skincare
Professional skincare supports your in-clinic treatments and helps to maintain optimum skin health between appointments. 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
For suitable patients, treatments such as Sculptra® and Polynucleotides can improve skin quality by stimulating collagen production and supporting long-term skin regeneration as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
We’ll always recommend the combination of treatments most appropriate for your skin, helping to achieve the best possible improvement over time.
What to expect
Consultation: Your journey begins with a detailed consultation and OBSERV 520x skin analysis. We’ll assess the type and depth of your acne scars before recommending the most appropriate treatment plan.
Treatment: Depending on your skin and the type of acne scars present, your treatment plan may include ResurFX fractional laser, medical microneedling with subcision, chemical peels, medical-grade skincare or collagen-stimulating treatments. We’ll explain every stage of your treatment so you know exactly what to expect.
Aftercare: We’ll provide personalised aftercare advice to support healing and optimise your results. As your skin naturally remodels, we’ll review your progress and adjust your treatment plan where appropriate.
Recovery & results
Recovery depends on the treatments included within your personalised plan.
- ResurFX: Mild redness for one to three days.
- Microneedling and subcision: Mild redness and swelling for one to two days with light flaking.
- Chemical peels: Peeling or dryness for several days depending on the depth of peel.
Improvements develop gradually as collagen remodels and the skin naturally repairs itself. Over time, acne scars become softer and less noticeable, while the skin appears smoother, stronger and more even. A course of treatments is often recommended to achieve the best results.
Safety & reassurance
Your treatment plan will always be tailored to your skin and carried out by appropriately trained members of our clinical team. ResurFX treatments are performed by our experienced laser therapist, while medical microneedling, subcision and injectables treatments are carried out by our nurse prescriber.
Beyoo is a nurse led clinic and we also operate under the guidance of a medical doctor. We only use trusted, clinically validated technologies and products to ensure you always have the very best care and service. Every patient receives a full consultation and suitability assessment to make sure that treatment is safe, appropriate and designed to achieve the best possible outcome.
