Acne Treatment in Surrey

How We Treat Acne At Our Surrey Clinic

The process of being treated for acne in Surrey begins with a detailed consultation and examination of your skin at our clinic.

As a leading clinic, we understand that effective acne treatment is never one-size-fits-all. Instead, we customise every treatment plan to suit your skin type, condition, and individual needs.

We believe in treating acne proactively. Our approach uses advanced treatments that provide powerful results while remaining kind to your skin.

Acne is a common condition, but we firmly believe that no one should have to suffer through its emotional or physical impact. Acne can have a major impact on confidence and self-esteem, often during younger years when we’re most vulnerable.

The nature of treatment is based on several key factors: whether your acne is active or historical, the severity of the outbreak or scarring, the location of the outbreaks, and even the underlying causes. That’s why every treatment plan begins with a detailed assessment and an understanding of your unique skin profile and concerns.

The Different Types of Acne

Non-inflammatory Acne

This includes blackheads and whiteheads. Blackheads (open comedones) show up when pores become clogged with oil and dead skin but remain open, while whiteheads (closed comedones) happen when the clogged pore closes. These types are often less serious but can still affect skin texture and tone.

Inflammatory Acne

This includes papules and pustules. Papules are small, red bumps that appear when blocked pores become inflamed. Pustules are similar but contain pus, coming up as red spots with white centres.

Inflammatory acne is often more noticeable and uncomfortable, sometimes leading to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or scarring if not treated properly.

Nodular and Cystic Acne

These types of acne are more severe. Nodules are large, hard lumps under the skin that can be painful and long-lasting. Cysts are pus-filled lesions deep within the skin that are prone to scarring.

These types usually demand a more intensive treatment strategy and may involve a combination of treatments and medication.

The Causes of Acne

Acne can develop due to a range of factors, including excess oil production, clogged pores, inflammation, and the presence of acne-causing bacteria on the skin.

Hormonal changes, particularly throughout puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, or from conditions like PCOS, can significantly increase oil (sebum) production, making breakouts more likely.

Other contributors may include stress, certain medications, poor skincare routines, and genetics.

We look beyond the surface to help find the underlying causes of your acne. This bespoke approach allows us to advise a treatment strategy that’s effective and also sustainable in the long term.

Acne Treatment Process

Consultation

The initial step in our approach to acne treatment at our clinic in Surrey involves a comprehensive consultation. During this session, our experts will assess your condition and inform you about a potential treatment plan and expected results.

Treatment

We use various treatments for acne in our Surrey clinic. The best treatment for you will be discussed during your initial consultation. Our treatments are all designed to stop the spread of acne, reduce its effects, and restore a healthy skin appearance.

Results

Our treatments will help to stop acne from worsening while boosting the production of important skin proteins such as collagen and elastin. This will help the development of smoother, clearer and more even-toned skin.

Our tailored solutions address these root causes of acne, helping to clear existing blemishes and prevent future breakouts.
Most people struggling with mild to severe acne are suitable candidates for treatment. Whether you’re a teenager experiencing hormonal acne or an adult with persistent breakouts, we can tailor treatments to your skin type and condition, ensuring a personalised and effective approach.

Our team can recommend bespoke treatments to calm inflammation, clear breakouts, and support healthier, more balanced skin during a consultation. Book yours today.
The number of sessions depends on the severity of your acne and the type of treatment used. Some clients notice improvements after just one or two sessions, while others may need a course of treatments over several weeks or months for optimal results. We will be able to give you an approximate number of sessions after a consultation with us.
Yes, our treatments are carefully selected and customised for sensitive skin. Our skin experts use the latest acne treatments that are gentle yet effective and minimise irritation while improving acne and redness.

Generally, our acne treatment will diminish the appearance of acne breakouts, reduce acne-causing bacteria, and encourage healthy skin development.

There are very few side effects from our acne treatment at our Surrey clinic. Post-treatment there may be some slight redness around the treatment area, however, this will subside within a few days.
While treatments can deliver long-lasting results, acne can sometimes recur, particularly if underlying factors like hormones or skincare habits are not addressed. Ongoing maintenance and a good skincare routine help preserve clear skin over time.
This depends on the treatment you receive. For most non-invasive treatments, you can apply makeup after a short recovery period, but it’s best to use non-comedogenic products. Our skin experts will provide clear aftercare guidance tailored to your treatment.
Ahead of your appointment, it’s best to avoid excessive sun exposure, exfoliating treatments, or harsh skincare products. Arriving with clean skin free of makeup or lotions helps ensure the best results. We will be able to provide full preparation advice during your skin consultation with us.

To maintain your results, it’s important to follow a tailored skincare routine recommended by our skin experts – this will be advised during your consultation and after your treatment. Regular follow-up treatments and adopting healthy lifestyle habits also help keep your skin clear and balanced.
