Why Choose Our Acne Scar Treatment

Fractional laser technology

We use the ResurFace, a fractional erbium YAG 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, which helps to 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. At our Llanelli clinic we use a fractional laser to soften them and smooth the skin, from £60 a session.

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

Boxcar scars have sharp, vertical edges and a sunken appearance, and usually follow moderate to severe acne.

Rolling scars give the skin a wave-like, uneven surface. They are caused by damage to the connective tissue under the skin.

Ice pick scars are small, deep holes in the skin.

Hypertrophic scars are raised, thickened scars caused by too much collagen, and are often red or darker than the skin around them.

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

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 treat acne scars with the ResurFace, a fractional erbium YAG laser. It splits the laser into thousands of microscopic beams, so only a fraction of the skin is treated and the tissue in between is left untouched.

Each beam creates a tiny column of controlled heat in the skin, which breaks down scar tissue and triggers the body’s natural healing response.

As the skin repairs, it produces new collagen. That new collagen helps to fill in the scars, leaving the skin smoother and more even.

What Results to Expect

Laser treatment improves the appearance of acne scars and skin texture. It does not usually remove scars completely, and results vary from person to person.

Most people need three to six sessions to see a significant improvement. We will give you an honest view of what to expect at your consultation, before you commit to anything.

Tanned skin cannot be treated, and that includes fake tan.

The same laser is used for fractional laser resurfacing of the face and for stretch marks. If you still have active breakouts, see our acne treatment page.

What You Can Expect from Treatment

  • Around 30 minutes: most sessions take about half an hour, depending on the size of the area
  • Mild discomfort: most people feel warmth or tingling, which is usually well tolerated and passes once treatment is finished
  • A course of sessions: most people need three to six sessions for a significant improvement
  • Gradual improvement: the skin smooths as new collagen forms over the weeks after each session
  • Aftercare support: a detailed aftercare pack and a team you can call with questions
  • Honest advice: if laser isn’t the best option for your scars, we’ll tell you and suggest alternatives

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.
