Why Choose Our Acne Scar Treatment

Fractional laser technology

The ResurFace laser treats only a fraction of the skin at a time, so it heals quickly.

Rebuilds collagen

New collagen rebuilds the skin from within, improving texture.

Doctor-led care

Your skin type and health are assessed before treatment, in line with our doctors’ protocols.

How it works

  1. Free consultation and scar assessment
  2. A personalised plan and a clear price
  3. A course of three to six sessions for most people

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 Neath 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.

Types of Acne Scar

Scars left by acne generally fall into four groups: boxcar (sunken, sharp-edged), rolling (wavy and uneven), ice pick (small and deep) and hypertrophic (raised and thickened). Neath clients often ask whether their scars can be softened after years of trying other products.

The best treatment depends on the type and severity of your scars, which we assess at your free consultation.

Our Llanelli clinic is doctor-led and registered with Healthcare Inspectorate Wales, and treatment starts from £60 a session.

How Fractional Laser Treatment Works

As these micro-areas heal, the skin produces new collagen and fresh skin cells, gradually filling and smoothing the scars over a course of treatments. © Cowell St Skin & Hair Clinic.

The ResurFace fractional erbium YAG laser creates thousands of microscopic treatment columns, while the skin in between remains intact.

The controlled heat in each column breaks down scar tissue and kick-starts healing. The skin produces fresh collagen, which helps smooth and fill the scars over time.

What Results to Expect

Laser can make a real difference to acne scarring and texture, although it doesn’t usually remove scars fully, and results vary.

Three to six sessions is typical. We’ll tell you what to expect before you commit. Tanned skin can’t be treated.

What You Can Expect from Treatment

  • Half-hour sessions: depending on the size of the area
  • Well tolerated: most people feel warmth or tingling
  • Sessions needed: typically three to six
  • Results that build: over the weeks after each session
  • Support at home: aftercare advice to take away
  • Straight answers: we’ll be clear about what’s realistic

Your Free Consultation

We start by looking closely at your scarring and skin type, then discuss your health and any medication.

You’ll come away with an honest view of the likely result, a session estimate and the cost, with no pressure.

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.

Before and After Your Treatment

Before you come in

  • Avoid sun, sunbeds and fake tan on the area for four weeks beforehand. Tanned skin cannot be treated.
  • Use a high-factor sunscreen on the area if it is exposed.
  • Tell us about any medication you are taking.

After each session

  • Avoid heat for 24 to 48 hours, including hot baths, showers, saunas and excessive exercise. This reduces the risk of blistering.
  • Apply aloe vera gel three to four times a day to soothe the skin and help it heal.
  • Keep the area out of the sun for four weeks, or apply SPF 50 regularly.
  • Do not pick or scratch the treated area.

You’ll be given aftercare advice to take home, and you can call us with any questions.
