Why Choose Our Acne Scar Treatment

Fractional laser technology

We use the ResurFace, an erbium YAG fractional laser, which treats the skin in thousands of microscopic columns.

Rebuilds collagen

The laser breaks down scar tissue and prompts your skin to make new collagen, helping fill and smooth acne scars.

Doctor-led care

Treatment follows doctors’ protocols, with your skin type and medical history checked before we start.

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 Swansea 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

Acne can leave several types of scar. Boxcar scars have sharp edges and a sunken look; rolling scars give the skin a wave-like surface; ice pick scars are small, deep holes; and hypertrophic scars are raised and thickened. Many Swansea clients come to us years after their acne has cleared, when the scars are what remain.

Your scar type and severity determine the best treatment, so we assess them at your free consultation.

We’re doctor-led and registered with Healthcare Inspectorate Wales, with acne scar treatment 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.

Our ResurFace laser is a fractional erbium YAG laser. It treats the skin with thousands of tiny beams, so only a small fraction of the surface is affected at once.

Each beam breaks down scar tissue in a tiny column and prompts the skin to heal. The new collagen produced helps fill in scars and even out texture.

What Results to Expect

Laser improves the appearance of acne scars and texture but doesn’t usually remove scars completely, and results vary.

Most people need three to six sessions for a significant improvement. We’ll give you an honest view before you commit. Tanned skin, including fake tan, can’t be treated.

What You Can Expect from Treatment

  • About 30 minutes: per session, depending on the area
  • Mild sensation: warmth or tingling that passes when treatment ends
  • A course: three to six sessions for a significant improvement
  • Gradual improvement: the skin smooths as new collagen forms
  • Aftercare support: written advice and a team you can call
  • Honest advice: if laser is unlikely to help your scars, we’ll say so

Your Free Consultation

At your consultation, we assess the type and depth of your scars and your skin type, and talk through your medical history.

You’ll know whether fractional laser is right for you, how many sessions to expect and the price before you decide.

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.
