ACNE
SCARRING
&
LASER
TREATMENT
I
never
write
reviews
but
I
wanted
to
this
time
as
I
hope
this
will
help
someone
else
who
is
struggling
to
cope
with
their
acne
and
acne
scarring.
I
attended
Dr
McKeown's
clinic
for
laser
treatment
for
my
acne
scarring.
I
have
suffered
from
acne
scarring
since
I
was
around
18-19,
so
half
of
my
life
exactly.
I
forgot
what
it
was
like
to
look
in
the
mirror
and
not
immediately
assess
and
scrutinise
my
skin
(and
then
the
awful
comments
I
would
say
to
myself
thereafter).
As
the
years
went
on
I
grew
in
my
own
self
and
I
wasn't
as
harsh,
but
for
a
very
long
time
my
acne
scarring
really
defined
me
and
how
I
felt.
Unfortunately
I
developed
stress
related
cystic
acne
at
18
and
this
gave
me
awful
anxiety-
I
would
actively
avoid
people
and
refused
to
go
out
at
times.
Then
if
I
did
bump
into
anyone
unexpectedly
I
would
almost
have
anxiety
attacks.
After
years
of
battling
my
acne
I
was
left
with
scarring
-
I
longed
for
my
acne
to
get
better
but
never,
ever
thought
about
the
scarring
it
would
leave
me
with
and
how
much
that
would
effect
me,
my
self
confidence,
my
mental
health
and
how
I
intereacted
with
people
in
general.
As
the
years
went
on
I
really
felt
I
needed
to
speak
to
someone
so
I
went
to
Dr
Darren
McKeown's
clinic
as
I
had
read
great
reviews
on
his
medical
and
aesthetic
background
and
his
professional
and
dedicated
patient
care.
I
also
knew
that
this
clinic
did
not
hold
back
when
it
came
to
buying
the
best
laser
machines
the
market
had
to
offer.
Darren
gave
me
a
thorough
consultation,
managed
my
expectations
and
created
a
programme
to
try
and
improve
my
acne
scarring
as
much
as
possible-
profractional
laser
treatment,
broad
band
light
therapy
and
then
to
polish
it
off,
he
added
tiny
little
bits
of
filler
under
the
more
stubborn
areas.
To
say
Dr
McKeown
was
determined
to
get
my
skin
looking
the
best
it
could
is
an
understatement!
He
was
110%
committed
and
was
on
the
journey
with
me.
He
has
so
many
patients
yet
I
felt
like
I
was
his
only
one
-
that
is
a
true
testament
to
his
patient
care
and
to
how
lovely
he
is
in
general.
He
is
so
knowledgeable
and
puts
you
at
ease
immediately
-
I
was
nervous
about
getting
the
laser
treatment
but
I
fully
trusted
his
ability
and
expertise.
My
skin
has
been
transformed
-
my
acne
scarring
is
so
much
better,
pretty
much
gone
completely!!
and
my
overall
skin
quality
has
improved
SO
much.
I
think
people
undervalue
the
importance
of
good
skin
quality
as
by
improving
my
skin
I
look
fresher
and
younger....I'm
almost
38
with
2
small
kids
(lots
of
sleepless
nights!)
so
I
was
over
the
moon
about
this!
I
hate
how
some
people
view
aesthetics,
it
isn't
all
about
huge
lips
and
the
frozen
forehead.....it
is
sometimes
about
piecing
yourself
back
together
again
in
such
a
natural
way.
That's
what
Dr
McKeown
does,
he
helps
people
feel
better
about
themselves
-
I
look
like
me,
but
a
better
version
of
me,
and
I
feel
so
much
more
confident.
