Understanding Scarring: Causes, Symptoms & Treatments at our Clinic
Scarring occurs as a result of trauma to the skin, leading to a change in colour or texture of the affected area. This is a natural part of the healing process. We offer a range of effective treatments to address this concern.
Causes:
Damage to the skin, whether it be through an injury, burn, surgery or underlying skin condition such as acne, can lead to scarring.
Symptoms:
An area affected by scarring may appear raised and lumpy or tight and indented. Discolouration is commonly associated where the area may appear red, purple or darkened, this is referred to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) or erythema (PIE).

High quality clinical and customer care from the Dr Ana clinic. With Anastasia the Aerolase -era, I was fully prepared with a patch test to support my treatment plan and had detailed discussions and explanation of pre treatment and after care in order to achieve optimum results.

Just had a great hydrafacial with Kelly. The information and step by step explanations were great. We talked through my concerns and I was given some really great advice that felt genuine and supportive to improve my skin (rather than just a sales pitch). I have definitely found my new place for facials and am booking my next appointment now!!![]()

I had a wonderful experience at Dr Ana Skin Clinic, where I enjoyed a Maternity Facial with Kelly. From start to finish, Kelly was incredibly professional, caring, and attentive, making me feel comfortable, relaxed, and well looked after throughout the treatment. She took great care to ensure everything was perfect, and the whole experience felt so calming and special. The service was excellent, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Kelly, for such a lovely treatment! 💕![]()

Today, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Ana and her incredible team for showing me something that goes far beyond professional care — genuine compassion, kindness, and humanity. Going through cancer has been one of the scariest and most difficult experiences of my life. When you face an illness like this, you realise how precious life is and how much a little kindness, understanding, and warmth can mean. Returning to Dr Ana Skin Clinic today was an emotional moment for me, and the way Dr Ana welcomed me back touched my heart more than words can express. Dr Ana is not only an exceptionally talented and highly skilled doctor, but, above all, a truly wonderful woman with a beautiful heart. She understands that illness does not discriminate, that life can change for any of us, and that behind every face is a person with feelings, fears, and a story. Her compassion made me feel welcomed, understood, and cared for at a time when I needed it most. A very special thank you to Kelly, with whom I shared a few tears today. Sometimes, words are simply not enough, and it is in these emotional moments that the true kindness of another person shines through. Thank you for your warmth, understanding, and for making me feel that I was not just another client walking through the door. Thank you also to Anastasia and Amna for being part of such a lovely and caring team. Every one of you contributed to making my return feel special, and I will carry that kindness with me. Dr Ana, you are a beautiful reminder that being a great doctor is not just about knowledge, talent, or skill — it is also about having the heart to care for people when life becomes frightening and uncertain. Cancer may change many things in life, but it also makes you appreciate the truly special people who cross your path. Today, I was reminded that kindness can bring comfort, tears can be shared with understanding, and compassion can make even the hardest journey feel a little less lonely. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Dr Ana, Kelly, Anastasia, and Amna. You are all wonderful, and I feel genuinely grateful to have been welcomed back by such a special team. With heartfelt appreciation and love. ❤️![]()

I had an appointment with Ali this time. He was extremely knowledgeable about good skin care and the combinations of products and treatments that can be used. Anastasia gave further advice about skin care. I bought a few items that I am delighted with. Everyone and everything about this clinic is superb. Highly recommend !!
