Benefits
Bespoke and doctor-administered
The fact that our acne treatment programmes are customised means you’ll only be offered treatments that are right for you and your overall wellness. It also means you’ll get treatments that are much more targeted to the type of acne you have, where it is, and how extensive it is. Your treatment programme will be created and administered by a doctor, who will have extensive knowledge of your condition, the treatments and medications you may already have tried, and the implications of any new treatments on your current health. All of our acne treatments are minimally invasive, with drastically reduced downtime, and designed to produce healthy and natural-looking results.

Options
The right treatments for you
Skin peels are great for flushing out waste products. Microdermabrasion is brilliant at clearing blocked pores. Microneedling harnesses and encourages the natural power of the skin to regrow and repair itself. Phototherapy is proven to be effective at reducing redness. Laser therapies are great at removing the worst-affected outer skin layers to allow the tissue beneath to regenerate.
During your initial consultation, we will talk through these treatments and others that may be appropriate for you.

FAQS
Treatment Questions
-
What is the treatment used for? add_circleAcne treatments are used to improve the effects of acne, particularly acne scars.
-
How long do the results last? add_circleOnce your current acne scars are reduced or removed by our treatments, they won't return. However, acne is a chronic dermatological condition that requires maintenance, and our treatments are not a cure. Our aim is to manage it to more acceptable levels and reduce the appearance of scars. Our treatments won't stop new scars forming.
-
Is the treatment painful? add_circleOur treatments are minimally invasive and where necessary we use local anaesthetic so that patients feel very little pain, if any.
-
When will I see results? add_circleThis depends on the treatment. For example, with laser therapies, you should start to see results after 1 month when the new skin layers develop.
