Treatments For Acne & Acne Scarring

In our Ashford aesthetics clinic, we offer a range of personalised treatments for acne and acne scarring.

What Causes Acne?

Acne is a common inflammatory skin disease. Though its causes have long been disputed, it isn't a result of dirt, poor skincare, 'bad' diet, the use of makeup or stress.

Acne actually occurs when pores inside the skin become blocked with sebum. This sebum becomes trapped, oxidises and is infiltrated by bacteria called Cutibacterium. As a result, the skin becomes inflamed and breaks out in pimples.

At Sorella Aesthetics, we can assess your acne to develop the best course of treatments for you. This is helpful if you're unsure what's causing your acne or want extra advice.

A procedure that involves repeatedly puncturing the skin with tiny, sterile needles, microneedling helps to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture and tone. As a result, it can reduce the appearance of acne scarring by up to 70%.
