Acne & Pigmentation Scarring

Don’t let your scars steal the spotlight.

Skin scarring is classified in two ways, the first is the unwelcome souvenir of our skin's past mishaps, while the second is stretch marks - those sneaky stripes that seem to appear almost out of nowhere.

When our skin experiences an injury or trauma, our body triggers the natural healing process. However, sometimes this healing process can leave behind a mark as a memento that says…

What is Scarring?

"Hey, remember when you went to war with those pimples?” Or “Don’t forget how hard you’ve worked on healing”.

But fear not, with the right treatments and care, your scars can fade into the background, just like any embarrassing photos you buried deep in your Facebook archives.

What Causes Scarring?

When our skin experiences a pimple, it's like a battlefield where white blood cells and bacteria duke it out. Unfortunately, sometimes this combat can leave behind a scar that lingers long after the pimple has faded.

Acne scarring can also be caused by picking or squeezing pimples (we know it's tempting, but this is just another reason to resist the urge!), as it can damage the skin's tissue and lead to permanent scarring. So, give your skin a break and avoid picking at those vexing pimples.

Pigmentation scarring can be caused by various factors, including acne, sun damage, and some medications.

When our skin experiences inflammation or injury, like bothersome blemishes or a sunburn, it triggers the body's regenerative response. This process can sometimes switch into overdrive and overproduction of melanin, which can cause the skin to darken and create pigmentation scarring. So let's give our skin a break and protect it from further damage while sorting out what you can do to diminish and dim any existing skin scarring.

Common Symptoms of Scarring

Uneven skin texture: Raised or sunken skin texture.
Discolouration: Scars may be a different colour than the surrounding skin, appearing darker or lighter.

Emotional distress: Scars can cause emotional distress, especially if they are in a visible location or are a result of a traumatic experience
Pain: Scars may be sensitive or painful and feel tight or stiff, especially if they are in a location that is frequently touched or rubbed

What Our Amazing Clients Are Saying

I was struggling with really bad skin for as long as I can remember and had been treated by multiple other beauticians. It wasn't until I found Andrea that my skin completely transformed in such a short amount of time. Andrea takes the time to explain every step of what she is doing and how it will assist my skin. I’m so grateful that with Andreas help I have been able to gain my confidence back in my skin. I no longer feel the need to wear makeup on the daily and continue to get compliments on how clear my skin is from what it was. I'm beyond happy with the results and have recommended The Skin Manifesto to many friends, family and colleagues.

I was struggling with really bad skin and just after one visit to The Skin Manifesto I left feeling so much better. Andrea took so much time with me, explained every step of what she was doing and how it would assist my skin. I left with glowing skin and a great skin routine that has really helped stabilize my skin. I can't wait for my next visit to The Skin Manifesto!

My skin is finally looking the clearest it has been in years. I have switched to the products stocked by The Skin Manifesto and I haven't had a breakout since first starting which is around 6 months ago.. Also had a few treatments which have helped to brighten my skin & it definitely is starting to look more refined.
Highly recommended. Treatments are tailored and Andrea is so knowledgeable about how to improve your skin.

I recently had an LED light therapy and bio sonic treatment on my very sad, tired and dull skin. Immediately following treatment my skin felt smoother, more supple and my makeup glided on my skin like porcelain! After a few minor breakouts initially (my skin cleansing out) my skin is without doubt in the best condition it has been in years. For the first time in forever, i have not worn makeup in public (eek!) and my skin has a really beautiful and healthy glow! I will definitely be back for more treatments. I would highly recommend Skin Manifesto to anyone! Thanks so much ladies! Xx

Really loved the high quality service and professionalism at this beautiful skin clinic. I booked in for a laser facial and microdermabrasion and 1 week later I'm extremely happy with the results.
Thank you so much to the nurses at The Skin Manifesto.
I will be back!

Andrea takes the time to really focus on my specific issues and explains each process to me. She is professional, informative and a true specialist in her field - Andrea has made my skin feel the best it has been in years and I always look forward to my next appointment!!!

I cannot recommend Andrea and the Skin Maifesto more highly! I have been seeing Andrea for almost a year now to treat my breakouts. After trying a few different places, I felt like this was just the way my skin was going to be forever. I am so thankful that I found Andrea. I no longer get big breakouts and my skin is the clearest it has ever been.

I have been seeing beautiful Andrea for years and I honestly can't thank her enough for the way she has transformed my skin. I struggled for over 10 years with all sorts of skin problems seeing multiple dermatologists, constantly being prescribed antibiotics and endless different skincare. I spent hours and hours researching skin problems for years and was blessed to find The Skin Manifesto. I booked a consultation with Andrea and have never looked back. She is the most passionate, knowledgeable and professional skin therapist I have ever dealt with. I never dreamed that I could possibly have skin looking the way I do today. Forever grateful and thankful for my little skin angle Andrea x

I highly recommend The Skin Manifesto to anyone wanting expert advice and service. After having skin treatments for the last 12 months with Andrea I am thrilled with the results. I now have skin that I never thought was possible. Andrea is extremely caring, generous and very much appreciated by your clients. Wishing you every success for the future.

I honestly didn’t expect my skin to improve as much as it has. With years of sun damage and normal ageing I thought my options were limited but Andrea has somehow ‘turned back the clock’! I’ve never had so many compliments on my skin and am thrilled with how glowing and healthy it is. I don’t even need makeup most days now. I’d recommend The Skin Manifesto to anyone wanting to improve the quality of their skin.
