Rediscover smoother, clearer skin with Self London’s dermatologist-led approach to acne scarring. Using advanced laser resurfacing technologies and personalised treatment pathways, we help repair damaged skin, refine texture, and restore long-lasting confidence.
At Self London, we understand that acne scarring and texture changes can impact both skin and self-confidence. That’s why our dermatology team takes a comprehensive, medically-led approach. Using advanced technologies such as Halo and ProFractional fractional lasers, combined with expert skin planning and tailored recovery care, we achieve visible, long-term improvements in a private and calming setting.
Gold-standard fractional lasers that resurface skin, stimulate collagen, and encourage natural healing.
Custom protocols designed for a wide range of skin tones and scar presentations.
Effective for acne scarring, enlarged pores, uneven tone, and irregular skin texture.
From consultation to recovery, every stage is overseen by GMC-registered specialists.
Post-treatment plans include medical-grade skincare, lifestyle advice, and follow-up reviews for lasting results.
We begin with a comprehensive consultation and VISIA skin analysis to understand your skin’s unique needs. Based on this, our dermatologists may recommend HALO hybrid fractional laser, ProFractional laser, or a multi-modality plan for deeper results.
These advanced lasers work by creating precise micro-channels in the skin, stimulating natural collagen renewal while resurfacing the outer layers. The result: smoother texture, refined tone, and visible improvement in acne scars, pores, and overall clarity.
In-depth consultation using advanced imaging to map scarring, texture, and tone.
Precise energy penetrates targeted layers of the skin to stimulate new collagen and resurface damaged tissue.
Medical-grade skincare and prescription support to enhance healing and maximise results.
Ongoing guidance to optimise recovery, maintain results, and protect your skin long term.
I came to Self London to reduce the appearance of scarring after working with the incredible team at Self London to clear up my acne around 18 months ago. The team are amazing and they made me feel completely confident and comfortable throughout the laser treatment process.
Wow, what a stunning clinic and refreshing, holistic ethos! Without a doubt, Dr Anjali Mahto is the best Dermatologist in London – her expertise in acne, scarring and laser treatments is phenomenal. A friendly, welcoming team with all the latest devices on the market (such as AviClear, Sofwave, UltraClear etc) and aesthetic treatments to boot; all under one beautifully Instagrammable roof!
I have had 3 profractional laser treatments for acne scarring, with really good results. This year was the first time I went to the beach without makeup, it was such a lovely feeling. I am so grateful for Dr Mahto‘s expertise and Katie’s guidance with aftercare! Really enjoy coming to clinic, and I am always treated so well and looked after. I would really recommend this clinic for acne scar treatment!
We’ll create a tailored laser and skincare plan to help you feel confident again.
Many patients observe noticeable improvements after a single session, particularly for overall rejuvenation. For more serious issues like acne scarring or deeper resurfacing, a series of 2–3 sessions spaced several months apart is typically recommended to achieve optimal results. If desired, maintenance sessions can be scheduled every 12–18 months to sustain collagen stimulation and keep results looking fresh.
Topical anaesthetic is applied to the skin for 30 to 45 minutes prior to treatment and is otherwise tolerated well. Patients may experiences a few days of peeling and sun sensitivity. The healing process can take five to seven days, depending on treatment settings.
It’s possible to notice a temporary flare-up in the weeks after your first session. This is completely normal and shows your skin is responding. As oil production settles, breakouts typically reduce, and skin clarity improves with each treatment.
The longevity of results varies – improvements in skin texture, scarring, and pigmentation can last several years, especially if you maintain your skin with proper sun protection and a good skincare routine.
After treatment, you may notice peeling and heightened sensitivity to the sun. The healing process typically lasts between 5 to 7 days, depending on the intensity of the treatment settings. During this period, your skin might appear red, feel tight, and peel, resembling a sunburn. Once your skin has healed, you can usually resume wearing makeup.
