Acne affects up to 80% of men and women, and if left untreated, can leave lasting scars. These scars—whether raised, indented, or discoloured—can be dramatically improved with state-of-the-art laser treatments, helping to restore smoother, even-toned skin and renewed self-confidence.
Acne scars develop when inflamed acne lesions damage the deeper layers of skin. As the body attempts to repair this damage by producing collagen, an imbalance—either too much or too little—can lead to scarring.
This can result in:
Atrophic scars (sunken, indented)
Hypertrophic scars (raised, firm)
Even deep, stubborn scars can now be significantly reduced through modern laser technologies.
Rolling scars: Wavy, uneven texture due to volume loss
Boxcar scars: Wide, shallow depressions with defined edges
Ice pick scars: Deep, narrow pits
Keloid/Hypertrophic scars: Raised, firm scars above the skin’s surface
Dr. Kravvas offers a tailored approach using a combination of advanced modalities to suit each patient’s specific needs. The cornerstone of the treatment is fractional CO₂ laser resurfacing — delivering pinpoint precision to target scars while leaving surrounding tissue intact for quicker healing.
The laser creates controlled micro-injuries, stimulating the body’s natural collagen production and gradually smoothing the skin’s texture.
Complementary treatments such as microneedling, radiofrequency (RF), and chemical peels are often included to enhance results.
Laser scar treatment offers a wide range of benefits:
Stimulates natural collagen production to remodel scarred skin
Visibly softens the appearance of scars, including both atrophic and hypertrophic types
Improves skin texture and tone, restoring a smoother, more even complexion
Clinically proven to be safe and effective
Minimal downtime with long-lasting results
Dr. George Kravvas is a leading consultant dermatologist and laser surgeon with a proven track record in treating complex skin conditions and acne scarring.
Using industry-leading lasers and combining treatment modalities, he delivers targeted therapy, stimulating collagen production while preserving healthy tissue for rapid recovery. Most patients experience only mild redness or swelling for a few days, with improvements continuing over the following weeks.
This makes fractional laser resurfacing a highly effective and well-tolerated option for meaningful scar reduction with minimal recovery time.
Step 1: In-Depth Consultation
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation at our Harley Street clinic—or via Zoom if preferred. Dr. Kravvas will assess your skin and create a personalised treatment roadmap.
Step 2: Custom Treatment Plan
Your tailored plan may include fractional laser, microneedling, radiofrequency, chemical peels, mesotherapy, or a combination of these. If active acne is present, it will be addressed first through appropriate medical or topical treatments.
Step 3: Expert Treatment Delivery
Treatments are delivered in a clinical setting with precision and care. Comfort and safety are prioritised throughout.
Step 4: Recovery and Visible Results
You will be given clear aftercare instructions to support healing and optimise results. Downtime is minimal, and visible improvements in skin tone and texture typically begin within days, with progressive enhancement over time.
Before your procedure, Dr Kravvas will offer tailored instructions to optimise results:
Avoid Sun Exposure: Stay out of direct sunlight for two weeks pre-treatment.
Discontinue Active Skincare: Pause retinoids, acids, and benzoyl peroxide a few days beforehand.
Shaving: If treating a hair-bearing area, you may be advised to shave gently the day before.
Weight: It is advisable to be at a healthy, maintainable weight.
Medications: Dr. Kravvas may prescribe antivirals or antibiotics to reduce the risk of infection.
Upon arrival, our friendly team will ensure your comfort. A topical anaesthetic cream is applied 30–60 minutes before the treatment. Treatment duration varies from 20 to 60 minutes depending on the area and approach used. Discomfort is generally mild and well-tolerated.
Most patients experience mild redness and swelling, which subside within a few hours. Normal activities can usually be resumed on the same day. Full recovery typically takes a few days, with results improving steadily in the weeks that follow.
Most patients require 3 to 6 sessions, spaced several weeks apart. Treatment plans are customised based on:
Scar Type and Depth
Treatment Modalities Used
Your Skin Type and Response to Therapy
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation: Not true scarring but very treatable—often improved in 1–3 sessions
The cost of treatment varies depending on the number of sessions and treatment area. Typical pricing:
£499–£999 per session
Plasma treatment – For destruction of lesions and removal of skin tags
Up to £1,999 for full-face treatment

Some discomfort may occur, but this is usually mild—often likened to a rubber band snap. Numbing cream and cooling minimise this sensation.
Initial results may be visible within days, with full improvements over several sessions.
Laser treatments can be effective for dark acne scars, even in individuals with darker skin tones. However, it’s important to note that lasers can sometimes trigger post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) in darker skin. For this reason, Dr. Kravvas carefully evaluates each patient’s skin type before proceeding with treatment.
In some cases, alternative, non-laser options—such as microneedling or chemical peels—may be recommended either instead of or in combination with laser therapy to minimise the risk of pigmentation changes and achieve the best aesthetic outcome.
If improperly used, yes. That’s why treatment should always be performed by a qualified expert.
Laser surgery can reduce and practically erase the appearance of acne scarring. Such results are long-lasting, and will likely be permanent.
