Why Choose Our Acne Scar Treatment

Fractional laser technology

The ResurFace erbium YAG fractional laser treats the skin in a fine grid of tiny columns.

Rebuilds collagen

As scar tissue breaks down, new collagen forms, smoothing the skin.

Doctor-led care

We check your skin type and medical history first, following protocols set by our doctors.

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 Port Talbot 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

Not all acne scars are the same. Boxcar scars are sunken with defined edges, rolling scars create an uneven, wavy surface, ice pick scars are narrow and deep, and hypertrophic scars are raised from excess collagen. Port Talbot clients often come to us about scarring on the cheeks and temples.

Which treatment suits you depends on the type and depth of your scars, and we’ll assess this at your consultation.

As a doctor-led clinic registered with Healthcare Inspectorate Wales, we treat acne scars 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.

We use the ResurFace, a fractional erbium YAG laser. It splits the laser into thousands of microscopic beams, treating only a fraction of the skin and leaving the tissue in between untouched.

Each beam creates a tiny column of controlled heat that breaks down scar tissue and triggers healing. As the skin repairs, it produces new collagen, helping to fill in scars and leave the skin smoother.

What Results to Expect

Treatment makes scars less noticeable and skin smoother, though it rarely removes them entirely, and everyone responds differently.

Three to six sessions usually bring a significant improvement. We’ll be honest about what to expect. We can’t treat tanned skin, including fake tan.

What You Can Expect from Treatment

  • Around 30 minutes: for most treatments
  • Comfortable: a warm, prickly feeling for most
  • Typical course: three to six sessions
  • Smoother skin over time: as collagen rebuilds
  • Aftercare: written guidance and phone support
  • Clear advice: we’ll tell you if another option would suit you better

Your Free Consultation

We’ll talk through how your scars affect you, examine them closely and check your skin type and medical history.

By the end, you’ll know what’s realistic, how many sessions you’ll need and what they’ll cost.

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.
