What are the

Treatment Options

Dr. Horsburgh tailors treatment plans to each individual’s unique skin type and scar characteristics. A comprehensive assessment ensures the most effective approach, which may include:

  • Laser Skin Resurfacing: Utilising advanced laser technology to remove damaged skin layers, promoting the growth of new, healthy skin.
  • Subcision: A minor surgical procedure that releases fibrous bands beneath the skin, improving the appearance of depressed scars.
  • Chemical Peels: a groundbreaking hyaluronic acid-based injectable, is designed to deeply hydrate, strengthen, and firm your skin from within. These injectables stimulate collagen production to help remove acne scars
  • Microneedling: A technique that uses fine needles to create micro-injuries, stimulating collagen production and enhancing skin texture.
