Complete care for acne with a Dermatologist

We know what it’s like to get acne. It’s painful. It crushes your confidence. We also know how life-changing it can be to treat it for good. It’s one of the reasons we founded this clinic.

Our personalised acne dermatologist treatments look at your skin’s health as a whole and focus on lasting results, backed by clinical evidence. We follow three principles: diagnose, treat, prevent.

How it Works

Your skin tells your story — and acne is just one chapter. Whether you’re navigating breakouts in your twenties or managing flare-ups in your forties, our goal is healthier skin that you can live in, confidently.

That starts with an acne consultation — either online or in person — with one of our dermatologists. They’ll listen. Ask the right questions. Understand what your skin has been through and what you’ve already tried. Then, they’ll build a treatment plan just for you.

That plan might include prescription medications, medical-grade skincare, in-clinic peels or advanced options like AviClear laser. We’ll guide you through it all, so you know what’s happening, why it’s happening, and what results to expect — without hype or guesswork.

Prefer the non-medical route? You can book directly into our Advanced Acne Treatment, which focuses on calming active breakouts in clinic (without prescriptions). And if you do need to see a dermatologist, we’ll refer you seamlessly within our team — no hoops, no hassle.

We also treat acne scarring — because lasting results are important too. Our approach is always end-to-end, because you deserve care that sees the full picture.

FAQs

Do I need a dermatologist for acne?

If your acne isn’t responding to over-the-counter treatments, keeps flaring up, or is affecting your confidence – it’s time to see a specialist. Our dermatologists can diagnose your skin type, rule out underlying conditions, and prescribe the right combination of treatments.

Can I see an acne dermatologist online?

Yes. We offer remote consultations with our dermatologists if that suits your schedule better. You’ll still receive a personalised plan, just from the comfort of home. Please note that if you have severe acne then we would need to see you in person to achieve the best treatment outcomes.

What kind of treatments do you offer?

We offer everything from prescription medications and topical treatments to peels, lasers (including AviClear), and light therapy. Your plan is bespoke – we never use a one-size-fits-all approach. As we see a lot of acne, we have the team and skills to support you effectively.

When will I see results?

We know this is key for you if you’re struggling with acne- we have been there. Everyone’s skin is different, but many clients begin to notice improvements within a few weeks. Some treatments work quickly; others take a few months to deliver lasting change. We’ll guide you through what to expect so you understand each treatment outcome.

Do you treat scarring too?

Yes. Once your acne is under control, we can help reduce any residual scarring with a range of proven options, including microneedling, laser resurfacing, and medical-grade peels.

What if I’ve already tried everything for my acne?

That’s exactly why we’re here. Our dermatologists regularly work with people who’ve felt stuck or let down by previous treatments. We’ll take a fresh look, cut through the noise, and get you a plan that works.
