Acne Scar & Skin Texture Consultations
Scars and flat marks left after a breakout are different concerns. A scar consultation at Birmingham Skin and Physio Clinic starts with the type of change you can see or feel, how long it has been present and whether the skin is still inflamed.
What to Discuss at Your Consultation
- Distinguish changes in colour from changes in skin texture.
- Discuss whether a scar is raised, indented or still healing.
- Review active breakouts and previous scar procedures.
- Compare suitable options, their limitations and recovery needs.
- Plan how any change would be reviewed over time.
What to bring to a scar consultation
Explain when the scar developed and any surgery, injury or skin condition linked to it. Mention previous treatment and reactions, and describe the change you would find worthwhile. Use the consultation to compare options without expecting identical results to another person’s photographs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Complete removal cannot be promised. The aim of a suitable procedure may be to soften the appearance of a scar or improve texture. Discuss what level of change is realistic for the type and depth of scar you have.
Flat discolouration and indented or raised scars need different assessment. Tell the practitioner whether the concern is mainly colour, texture or both. If you still have active breakouts, ask which concern should be addressed first.
No. A technique that may help one type of scar can be inappropriate for another. Ask why microneedling, a peel or another option is being considered and how your skin tone, scar history and recovery needs affect the choice.
