How to Care for Your Skin After Acne Scar Treatment in Basingstoke

Acne scars can be a frustrating and persistent problem, and over-the-counter products deliver limited results in addressing it. The good news is that professional acne scar treatment in Basingstoke can help significantly improve the appearance of your skin. At Skin Hampshire, we offer a range of effective treatments — including skin peels and Lynton Laser therapy — to target and reduce acne scars. We also provide detailed post-treatment instructions to help you maintain healthy skin and prevent complications.

After skin peels

Award-winning skin peels like NeoStrata glycolic acid and TCA skin peels are known to even out and brighten the skin tone and improve acne scarring. They stimulate collagen production to speed up the turnover of skin cells, ultimately enhancing the texture. Plus, their localised approach allows us to target specific scars. Here’s what you can do after this type of acne scar treatment in Basingstoke:

• Avoid using tanning beds
• Avoid too much sun exposure
• Wear SPF 50+ sunscreen
• Keep your skin moisturised as directed
• Skip acidic skincare serums like Vitamin C for at least 48 hours
• Avoid applying glycolic acid and retinoids for 10 days
• Don’t use abrasive products like exfoliating sponges and facial scrubs for 7 to 10 days

After laser treatment

At Skin Hampshire, we use state-of-the-art lasers like 3JUVE Fractional 2940 nm Yag Laser for acne scar treatment in Basingstoke. This advanced laser penetrates deep into the skin to stimulate collagen production, promote tissue regeneration, and reduce the appearance of scars over time. Your skin will be extra sensitive after laser treatment, so we recommend doing the following:

• Don’t sunbathe or use self-tanning products, including tanning beds, for 2 weeks
• Avoid scratching and picking potential dry patches and scabs
• Apply broad spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen or higher
• Keep your skin clean per our recommendation
