Answer: Thank you for your enquiry.

I would strongly recommend you book in to the clinic for a complimentary consultation. This is when one of our highly trained and experienced Medical or Aesthetic Practitioners can get to know you better and discuss your concerns with you. As with all treatments, we work with the individual and create a personal treatment plan for you.

A brief explanation of some of the treatments we have on offer are as follows:

• Obagi Clenziderm products – these are prescription products which are so effective in the treatment of acne. The two main products in the range are the Daily Care Foaming Cleanser and Pore Therapy each containing salicylic acid which unclogs pores and helps remove the bacteria which causes acne.
• Chemical Peels – there are several peels suitable for acne skin types. During consultation you will be advised which is the best one for your particular skin condition.
• IPL/Laser Acne treatments - The bacteria in the skin is successfully destroyed and the acne is cleared leaving you with smooth, fresh, healthy looking skin. The laser will at the same time stimulate collagen production which will enable the skin to heal with less scarring.
• Laser Resurfacing & Scar Reduction – this is done with a SmartXide CO2 Fractional DOT Laser.
• Medical Dermal Roller – this improves scar tissue and can also be done at home.

This is a very large and complex subject and affects people at different times in their lives. Acne cannot be “cured” but can be controlled. The effects and the scarring that often comes from uncontrolled acne breakouts can be minimised and reversed. Always remember that prevention is better than cure as acne scarring can rarely be completely eliminated.

If you do have any questions or you would like to book in your consultation, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will be more than happy to help.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Answer: Hello Dan,

Thank you for your query about back acne.

This can be caused by a number of sources, including sluggish cell turnover, excess oil production and even imbalanced bacteria in the gut. Treatment can include retinoid creams to increase cell turnover, skin peels to reduce oil production and probiotics to regulate gut bacteria. Light therapy can also be helpful in reducing the colonies of acne bacteria on the skin.

It would be helpful to see you in person to assess you. My clinic is in Rainham in Kent, and you can book a consultation through the link on my clinic profile (TD Aesthetics).

I hope you found that helpful, but please let me know if you require any further assistance.

Warm regards

Nurse Tawa

Answer: Treatments for acne can include peels containing salicylic acid to reduce inflammation, congestion and reduce oiliness.

Incorporating LED light therapy with combined blue, red and near infrared light helps to reduce bacterial activity, reduce inflammation and support skin healing.

This combination also helps to minimise scarring and fade blemish marks
Treatments at two week intervals for the peel and weekly light treatments are suggested

Depending on the severity of the acne you may need to see a doctor for antibiotic treatment too
