Acne

Acne is one of the most common skin conditions in the UK, affecting people well beyond their teenage years. It happens when hair follicles become blocked by oil and dead skin cells, leading to spots, inflammation and sometimes scarring. Treatments range from topical gels and creams that reduce bacteria on the skin to prescription options that target oil production directly. A clinician will review your skin history and current symptoms to recommend the right approach for you. Most patients see improvement within four to six weeks of consistent use.
