Is this for you?
- I still cover the same marks every morning.
- Acne marks from years ago never left.
- Texture shows when the light catches my face.
If you recognise yourself, Zero may be a good place to start. Dr. Douaihy confirms it once he has examined you.
The science, simply.
Where it works
- Light
- Firmness
- Structure
A mark is uneven collagen, left behind when the skin healed. Zero combines precise methods, chosen by Dr. Douaihy for each mark, to release it and prompt new, even collagen beneath. The surface smooths over a course of sessions.
More about Zero
Zero is the clinic’s doctor-led protocol for marks, from acne marks on the cheeks to marks on the body. No two marks are alike, so Dr. Douaihy chooses the method by their type, depth and age, then plans a course that refines the surface one step at a time. The aim is skin that reads smoother in daylight, in photographs and up close.
What you’ll feel, and see.
- During
An assessment first: each mark is examined and photographed.
- After
Redness and a tight feeling for a few days after each session.
- Over time
A smoother surface that keeps refining over three to six months.
Day by day
- Day 0
Redness and a warm, tight feeling, depending on the method.
- Days 2–7
The surface renews, and some methods leave fine crusts that lift away on their own. Sun protection is essential.
- Weeks 3–6
Your next session, once the skin has fully renewed.
- Months 3–6
The surface keeps refining as new collagen forms. Your review compares the result with your first photographs.
The Dr. Douaihy protocol
Zero is planned and supervised by Dr. Douaihy, from the first mapping to the final review. Each type of mark gets the method that suits it, and progress is reviewed against your first photographs.

It suits you if
- Acne marks that leave the surface uneven, especially in side light.
- Marks on the body that you’d like softer and less visible.
- Stretch marks on the abdomen, hips or thighs.confirm stretch marks are part of Zero
- Uneven texture or pores that look enlarged around the marks.
- A wish for a clear plan with honest expectations.
When another option is better
- Active breakouts. Acne is calmed first, with a prescription routine or Clarity rebalancing.
- A recent tan or sun exposure.
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Raised marks that are thickening or growing. They need a different medical approach.
- Recent isotretinoin, or a tendency to heal with pigment changes, which Dr. Douaihy assesses first.
Questions about Zero
All questionsCan acne marks really improve?
Yes, with the right method and patience. Most marks soften and the surface becomes more even over a course, and Dr. Douaihy tells you at the first visit what to expect for yours.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on the type, depth and age of the marks. Dr. Douaihy sets the number in your written plan after mapping them.
Is there downtime?
Usually two to seven days of redness or fine crusting, depending on the method. The plan is timed around your calendar.
When will I see results?
The surface looks smoother after each session, and the full result builds over three to six months as new collagen forms.
