Understanding Your
Acne Scars
Living with acne scars can be a daily burden. Effective treatment begins with understanding your unique scar profile. A precise diagnosis by our London-based specialists is the crucial first step.
Ice Pick Scars
Cross-section view of skin layers
3-Step Scar Protocol
Our proprietary combination therapy targets acne scars at every depth. Watch how we rebuild your skin layer by layer.
Plexr Plasma
Soft Surgery
We start by smoothing the sharp edges of "ice pick" and "boxcar" scars using Plexr Plasma. This non-invasive sublimation creates a smoother surface topography without cutting the skin.
Virtue RF
Deep Remodeling
Next, Virtue RF Microneedling penetrates deep into the dermis. The radiofrequency energy breaks down fibrous scar tissue and stimulates a massive surge of new collagen to "lift" depressions from within.
CO2 Laser
Final Resurfacing
Finally, the SmartXide CO2 Laser resurfaces the top layer of skin. This blends the treated areas with surrounding tissue, erasing surface irregularities and pigmentation for a glass-like finish.
The Triple-Action Approach
We don't rely on a single tool. We combine the world's most effective scar revision technologies for superior results.
Plexr Plasma
Targeted Refinement
Uses plasma energy to sublimate (vaporise) scar tissue without touching the skin. Ideal for ice pick scars and precise edge smoothing.
- Non-invasive
- No bleeding
- Precision targeting
Smartside CO2 Laser
Deep Resurfacing
Fractional ablative laser that removes damaged skin layers and stimulates powerful collagen regeneration for smoother texture.
- Treats deep scars
- Resurfaces texture
- Boosts collagen
Virtue RF Microneedling
Comprehensive Remodelling
Combines microneedling with radiofrequency heat to remodel scar tissue from within and tighten the skin foundation.
- Minimal downtime
- Safe for all skin types
- Deep remodeling
Subcision
Tether Release
A specialized technique for depressed scars. We use a fine needle to break the fibrous tethers pulling the skin down, allowing the scar to lift and smooth out.
- Releases tethered scars
- Immediate lift
- Long-term improvement
TCA
Chemical Resurfacing
Trichloroacetic Acid peels penetrate deep into the skin to remove damaged layers and promote new collagen formation for smoother, rejuvenated skin.
- Deep exfoliation
- Collagen stimulation
- Texture improvement
The Power of Synergy
For many of our London patients, the most transformative results come from a carefully planned combination of these leading technologies.
For example, Virtue RF Microneedling can work deep within the skin to break down scar tissue and rebuild foundational collagen, while the Smartside CO2 laser can then refine the surface texture and tone. Plexr might be used for precise touch-ups on specific scar edges. This synergistic approach allows us to target your acne scars at multiple levels.

Frequently Asked Questions
We effectively treat ice pick, boxcar, and rolling scars, as well as some hypertrophic scars using our combined protocol of Plexr, CO2 laser, and Virtue RF microneedling.
Most patients require a course of treatments. Virtue RF typically involves 3-4 sessions, while CO2 laser may need 1-3 sessions. We provide a personalised estimate during your consultation.
We prioritise your comfort. Topical numbing cream is applied before procedures. Patients typically describe sensations ranging from warmth or prickling to mild stinging, which are well-tolerated.
Downtime varies by treatment intensity. Virtue RF has minimal downtime (redness for 24-48 hours). CO2 laser may require 5-7 days for healing. We will discuss this in detail during your consultation.
You can expect visibly smoother skin and reduced scar depth. Results are progressive, with collagen remodeling continuing for months after treatment.
