FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Acne affects most people at some point during their lives and will usually go away on its own, usually during teenage years. If acne is still prevalent in adulthood, treatment may be needed to help to control acne or to help reduce acne scarring.

Yes it can. While most cases of acne get better of time, for more severe disease which hasn’t responded to to simple medical measures, cure is a possibility. Stronger medications can bring about permanent resolution in many cases of acne so if you are concerned about your ongoing acne, get in touch to day.

Things you can do yourself to help clear up acne include:

  • Washing the face once or twice a day with a mild soap and warm water. It is important not to over wash the face as this can irritate the skin.
  • Wash your hair regularly and keep it off your face
  • Try not to wear too much make up and make sure it is completely removed before going to bed.

No. Squeezing spots can cause long lasting scarring.

TYPES OF ACNE TREATMENT

Microdermabrasion is a skin exfoliating treatment that can be used to treat acne and improve the appearance of the skin. It gets rid of acne by gently removing the outer layer of skin using tiny crystals, leaving the skin looking softer, brighter and stimulating new cell growth. It is great for treating acne. It is a safe and effective procedure that is suitable for both men and women of all skin types. Each treatment takes approximately 45 minutes and a course of 3-6 treatments is usually recommended.

Chemical peels work by gently removing the outer layer of the skin. This stimulates new skin growth which helps to reduce oil, unblock pores, reduce blackheads and minimise acne breakouts. There are different strengths or levels of chemical peel available. The superficial peel is the mildest form and is used to minimise acne breakouts by reducing blackheads, oiliness and unblocking pores.

Intense pulsed light treatment treats redness and thread veins which are commonly associated with acne and acne rosacea. This treatment works by using a powerful light that destroys the bacteria that causes acne as well as removing blood vessels that cause redness. This is a safe and non-invasive treatment and a course is recommended.

Dermalux ® LED Phototherapy is a multi-award winning acne skin treatment that combines clinically proven wavelengths of light delivered at therapeutic doses to naturally stimulate skin rejuvenation and resolve skin conditions. It is a non-invasive and pain-free treatment option suitable for all skin types which has proven results in the treatment of acne. The light wavelengths activate cellular renewal and repair, fuel the manufacture of collagen and elastin, reduce inflammation and destroy acne-causing bacteria.

The Nlite laser has been described as the most significant advancement in acne treatment for over 20 years and it has prolonged results. Nlite stimulates collagen production, kills bacteria and reduces the production of sebum from sebaceous glands in the skin.

Skin boosters are tiny injections of dermal fillers which are used to hydrate the skin and improve the skin’s quality. What makes them different from other injectables is that they are injected into the skin rather than underneath the skin.

In some rare cases, minor surgery in the form of subcision or excision of cysts can be used as a treatment. This surgical treatment removes troublesome cysts if another treatment has not worked.

Caring and friendly staff at clinic. I had a consultation with Liz where she carefully explained the options and costs for Botox . She was so gentle and I honestly didn’t know she had administered it to me ! I’m really happy with the results ( my wrinkly old forehead had gone !! ) and will be back for My top ups

Such a professional and helpful service. I had a few problems with having to rearrange appointments due to COVID and they were so accommodating. I had my treatments done by Inga who was so lovely and reassuring, it made the whole process so much easier. She was simply excellent, and the treatments (FRAXEL laser) have been so effective that other people have even commented. Their prices are extremely reasonable as well, as I was prepared to pay much more after having looked online.

Really amazing service. Been twice and both times was impressed with service and treatment. They even went above and beyond over a bank holiday weekend to help me with a skim reaction just before my wedding! Great find if you live anywhere near Oxford.

Care and attention to how nervous my 16 year old daughter was prior to treatment was amazing. Staff were kind and courteous nothing too much trouble. Matt Potter the Surgeon was brilliant, my daughter said she did not feel the injection in her nose!! He was so good, totally distracting her that she never realised the surgery was done. Highly recommend.

I have had two procedures done over 2 months. The whole team from reception, pa’s, nurses and of course the doctors were excellent, very personable, friendly and efficient. I would definitely recommend this clinic based on my visits.

After searching for many dermatologists in Oxfordshire I met Dr Walker. He has been my dermatologist for the past two years and I have never looked back. Excellent!
