Dermal Plus Clinic

Acne Treatment in Peterborough

Acne is one of the most common skin conditions, affecting teenagers and adults alike. Whether you experience occasional breakouts or persistent acne, the condition can significantly impact your confidence and quality of life.

At Dermal Plus Clinic in Peterborough, we offer thorough acne assessments and personalised acne treatment plans tailored specifically to your skin, lifestyle, and individual concerns. Our goal is not only to manage active acne but also to minimize the risk of long-term scarring and enhance overall skin health.

What is Acne?

Acne is an inflammatory skin condition that develops when hair follicles become blocked with oil (sebum), dead skin cells, and bacteria.

Acne can range from mild blackheads and whiteheads to inflamed spots, painful cysts, and nodules. Without appropriate treatment following an acne consultation, acne may result in permanent scarring and pigmentation changes.

Although commonly associated with teenagers, acne frequently affects adults, particularly women.

Acne Treatment Options

Treatment recommendations during your acne consultation depend on the severity of your acne and the underlying causes. Personalized acne treatment options may include:

Medical Treatments

Where clinically appropriate, prescription treatments may be recommended to help control active acne and reduce inflammation.

Medical-Grade Skincare

A personalized skincare routine can help support treatment, reduce breakouts, and improve overall skin health.

Chemical Peels

Professional chemical peels may help improve active acne, reduce congestion, and brighten post-acne pigmentation.

Microneedling

Once active acne is controlled, microneedling may help improve acne scarring and skin texture.

CO2 Laser Resurfacing

For suitable patients, fractional CO2 laser treatment may improve the appearance of acne scars and stimulate collagen production.

Blood Testing

Where appropriate, blood tests may be recommended to investigate hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, or other factors contributing to acne.

Acne Scarring

Early treatment of acne reduces the risk of permanent scarring.

If you already have acne scars, several treatment options may help improve their appearance, including:

CO2 Laser Resurfacing
Microneedling
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
Chemical Peels
Skin Rejuvenation Treatments

Treatment recommendations are personalized according to the type and severity of scarring, often assessed during acne assessments.
