Beyond the Surface

Understanding Scars

Acne scars often carry more than just physical marks – they can hold emotional weight that affects your confidence long after your skin has cleared. Many clients tell us they avoid certain lighting, feel self-conscious in photos, or struggle with makeup that won’t sit smoothly over uneven texture.

Scarring occurs when your skin heals unevenly after inflammation or trauma. Sometimes your skin produces too little collagen, creating depressions like ice-pick or boxcar scars. Other times it overproduces collagen, leading to raised or keloid scars. Each type requires a different approach, which is why single treatments often fall short of delivering the dramatic improvement you’re seeking.
At FILO, we understand that no two scars are identical, and no single treatment can address all aspects of scarring. That’s why we’ve developed our exclusive 5 Stack Scar Treatment – the most comprehensive scar repair protocol available in Ireland.

Our Revolutionary Approach to Scar Repair

The 5 Stack Scar Treatment is FILO’s signature protocol – an exclusive combination of five advanced technologies performed in a single session. This multi-layered approach addresses scarring at every level, from surface texture to deep dermal remodeling, delivering results that individual treatments simply cannot achieve.

“I lived with acne scars for over a decade, trying everything from expensive creams to multiple laser treatments at other clinics. Nothing worked until I found FILO's 5 Stack treatment. My skin is smoother now than it's been since I was a teenager.”

The FILO 5 Stack Scar Treatment (FILO Exclusive)

The 5 Stack Scar Treatment

The 5 Stack Scar Treatment is FILO’s signature protocol – an exclusive combination of five advanced technologies performed in a single session. This multi-layered approach addresses scarring at every level, from surface texture to deep dermal remodeling, delivering results that individual treatments simply cannot achieve.

What makes it revolutionary

This is the only treatment in Ireland that combines five gold-standard technologies in one comprehensive session, addressing scars from every angle for maximum improvement.

The Five Stacks

  1. BBL Broadband Light – Reduces redness and pigmentation around scars, evening out skin tone
  2. Sofwave Ultrasound – Stimulates deep collagen production to lift and tighten scarred areas
  3. Subcision – Releases fibrous bands that anchor scars down, allowing them to lift naturally
  4. Fractional Laser Resurfacing – Breaks down scar tissue and triggers comprehensive collagen remodeling
  5. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) – Uses your body’s own growth factors to accelerate healing and enhance results

Why this combination works

Each technology targets different aspects of scarring – vascular issues, structural problems, surface texture, and healing enhancement. Together, they create a synergistic effect that dramatically exceeds what any single treatment can achieve.

Benefits

Smoother skin texture, reduced scar depth, improved skin tone, smaller pores, enhanced natural healing, long-term collagen stimulation.

Candidate

Anyone with acne scars, surgical scars, or significant textural irregularities seeking comprehensive improvement.

Course and Downtime

3-4 sessions spaced 4-6 months apart; 5-7 days of redness and mild swelling with complete post-care kit provided.

Price starts from €1,500.

Note: Full pricing is available via our booking link or at consultation. Custom pricing is available based on your consultation and treatment plan. Flexible financing is available through Humm.

Understanding Different Scar Types

Not all scars are created equal, and effective treatment requires understanding what type of scarring you have:

  • Ice Pick Scars
    Narrow, deep scars that require targeted fractional resurfacing or subcision.
  • Boxcar Scars
    Wider scars with sharp edges that respond well to laser resurfacing and RF treatments.
  • Rolling Scars
    Broad depressions that create wave-like texture, often requiring subcision combined with collagen-stimulating treatments.
  • Raised Scars
    Hypertrophic or keloid scars that need specialized anti-inflammatory protocols like our LDM Triple ultrasound therapy.

Our nurses are trained to identify your specific scar types and create personalized treatment protocols that address your unique needs.

Why Combination Treatments Work Better

Single treatments often disappoint because scars are complex, multi-layered problems. Surface treatments can’t reach deep structural issues, while deep treatments may not address surface texture or pigmentation.

Our approach recognizes that the most dramatic improvements come from addressing scars at multiple levels simultaneously. This is why our 5 Stack treatment and other combination protocols consistently deliver superior results compared to single-modality approaches.

The Science Behind Our Results

Unlike clinics that rely on before-and-after photos that can be misleading, we use VISIA® skin analysis to provide scientific documentation of your improvement. This advanced imaging system can detect and measure changes invisible to the naked eye, giving you objective proof of your progress.

Supporting Your Results Long-Term

Scar improvement is a journey, not a destination. While our treatments provide dramatic initial improvement, maintaining and enhancing results requires:

  • Proper skincare
    Our nurses will prescribe medical-grade products that support healing and prevent new scarring
  • Sun protection
    UV damage can worsen existing scars and interfere with healing
  • Maintenance treatments
    Periodic sessions help continue collagen remodeling and maintain your results
  • Professional monitoring
    Regular check-ins ensure your skin continues to improve over time
