Acne scars can stay long after the spots themselves have gone, leaving uneven texture, small dents or marks in the skin. If you live in Porthcawl and yours bother you, fractional laser treatment at our Llanelli clinic can help to soften them and smooth the skin.
Cowell St Skin & Hair Clinic is in the centre of Llanelli. We are a doctor-led clinic registered with Healthcare Inspectorate Wales, and we have been treating clients since 2016.
Every client starts with a free consultation. There’s no pressure and no sales pitch, just an honest view of what treatment can and can’t do for you.
There are four main types of acne scar: boxcar scars, which are sunken with sharp edges; rolling scars, which make the skin look uneven and wavy; ice pick scars, which are small and deep; and raised, hypertrophic scars. Porthcawl clients often plan treatment for the winter months, away from the sun.
The right approach depends on your scar type and severity, which we look at carefully before recommending anything.
Cowell St Skin & Hair Clinic is a doctor-led clinic in Llanelli, registered with Healthcare Inspectorate Wales, and acne scar treatment starts from £60 a session.
Treatment uses the ResurFace fractional erbium YAG laser, which divides its beam into thousands of microscopic columns, with healthy skin left between them.
These columns of controlled heat break down scar tissue and start the skin’s natural repair process. New collagen forms as it heals, gradually smoothing and filling the scars.
You can expect smoother texture and softer-looking scars, but complete removal is unlikely and results vary.
A course of three to six sessions is typical. We’ll give you a realistic picture first. Tanned or fake-tanned skin can’t be treated.
We’ll examine your scars, identify their type, check your skin type and go through your medical history and medication.
You’ll leave knowing whether treatment is suitable, how many sessions we recommend and the cost, with no obligation.
To secure your appointment we take a £30 deposit. It comes off the price of your treatment, or we refund it in full if you decide not to go ahead. Please read our cancellation policy before you book.
