Benefits
Doctor-led and tailored to you
At Riverbanks you’ll only be offered treatments that are right for you. Whatever acne scar treatment we recommend to you based on your circumstance, you can be assured that it will be the best fit for your cosmetic needs, the goals you’re aiming for and that it’s as safe as possible. Your plan will be devised and administered by a qualified doctor with many years’ experience removing and reducing skin blemishes such as acne and rosacea. Your treatment will reduce the appearance of scars and in many they will disappear almost completely.
Procedure
You’ll always know what to expect
There are three types of procedure depending on the treatment you require. Your doctor will create a treatment programme that is specially tailored to your needs.
Microneedling
Microneedling harnesses and encourages the natural power of the skin to regrow and repair itself. Also known as collagen induction therapy, this treatment helps those looking to reduce the appearance of acne scars and stretch marks.
Secret RF (Radio frequency microneedling)
Secret RF is an innovative approach to delivering fractional radio frequency (RF) energy that targets all layers of the skin with minimal damage. This multi-layered treatment will address any unique concerns you may have, tailored for your individual needs during each customised session at our clinic.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser Skin Resurfacing is a high-tech, non-invasive treatment designed to give you back a smoother, more youthful complexion. It’s the gold standard for treating acne scars and other skin conditions.
The Result
How will I feel?
At Riverbanks, we pride ourselves on making you feel comfortable, relaxed and able to ask questions at any stage. Your acne scar removal treatment will be carried out professionally, with minimal pain and the appropriate numbing. Following the procedure there may be some redness. Laser skin resurfacing treatments particularly leave some significant redness that will disappear in time. With all treatments you will receive comprehensive aftercare, wound care advice and further appointments as necessary. Post-treatment you will be left with a clearer, smoother and more even complexion, and boosted confidence.

Treatment Questions
-
What is the treatment used for? add_circleAll of our acne scar treatments are used to remove acne scars from the face, neck and body.
-
Is the treatment painful? add_circleOur treatments are minimally invasive and where necessary we use local anaesthetic or numbing creams so that patients find the procedures as comfortable as possible.
-
When will I see results? add_circleThis depends on the treatment. For example, patients who have Secret RF sessions typically see results after their second or third treatment which can be 2 months after their first treatment whereas patients who undergo laser skin resurfacing tend to see results 1 month after treatment.
-
How long do the results last? add_circleOnce your current acne scars are reduced or removed by our treatments, they won’t return. However, acne is a chronic dermatological condition that requires maintenance so if you do have recurring acne, our treatments won’t stop new scars forming.
