What Causes Acne & Why Consultant-Led Care Matters
Acne is not just a surface problem — it’s often triggered by a combination of hormonal activity, excess oil, dead skin cells and inflammation. Treating acne requires accurate diagnosis of the type (e.g., comedonal, inflammatory, cystic) and a tailored strategy. At Skinhorizon Clinic, you’ll be assessed by a consultant dermatologist who can differentiate between acne subtypes and deliver a truly personalised plan.
Advanced Devices We Use to Treat Acne
- LED Light Therapy (Opatra): Targets P. acnes bacteria and inflammation, safe for teens
- GME PDT Therapy: Combines light and topical photosensitiser to treat moderate to severe acne
- Microneedling (Dermapen 4): Improves scarring and texture once active acne is controlled
- Exosome Therapy: Delivers regenerative molecules using TargetCool to reduce inflammation and support repair
What Happens at Your Consultation?
During your £250 consultation, we’ll examine your skin under magnification, review any medications you’re using, and offer blood tests or digital skin analysis if relevant. Based on your acne type and severity, you’ll receive a phased treatment plan that may combine topical care, in-clinic therapies, and follow-up reviews.
Who Is This Treatment Suitable For?
We treat acne in adults, teens and children where medically appropriate. You may be suitable if:
- You’ve tried over-the-counter acne products without success
- You want to avoid or complement oral medications
- You’ve developed scarring, pigmentation or persistent breakouts
- You want a plan that includes prevention, maintenance and scar repair
