Acne scarring

Acne scarring can remain long after active breakouts have settled, affecting skin texture, tone, and overall confidence. Scars may appear as indentations, uneven texture, or lingering marks that don’t respond to general skincare.

At R Cosmetics, we take a personalised, results-focused approach to supporting smoother, more refined-looking skin. Every treatment plan is tailored to your individual skin condition, scar type, and long-term goals.

  • Acne scarring can present in different forms, including:

    • Atrophic scars (indentations in the skin)

    • Rolling scars (uneven, wave-like texture)

    • Boxcar scars (defined edges with depth)

    • Post-inflammatory marks (pigmentation after acne)

    Each type of scarring responds differently to treatment, making a thorough assessment essential.

  • Acne scarring develops when inflammation within the skin disrupts normal healing. Factors that can increase the likelihood of scarring include:

    • Moderate to severe acne

    • Delayed or incorrect treatment of breakouts

    • Picking or manipulating the skin

    • Genetics

    • Prolonged inflammation

    Supporting the skin’s healing process is key to improving the appearance of scars over time.

  • We focus on improving overall skin quality while targeting areas of concern. Treatment plans are designed to:

    • Support collagen production and skin renewal

    • Improve skin texture and smoothness

    • Reduce the appearance of indentations

    • Enhance overall skin clarity and resilience

    A combination approach is often recommended for optimal results, alongside consistent home care.

  • Depending on your skin and scar type, we may recommend:

    Skin Needling

    Deep Sea Peel
