Acne Scarring Treatment

Acne is a common skin condition caused by overactive sebaceous glands that produce excess oil, leading to blocked pores, scaly red skin, pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. In severe cases, it can result in cystic acne, which forms deeper skin lesions known as cysts or nodules. Acne often affects the face, upper chest, and back due to a higher density of sebaceous glands in these areas.

While acne typically appears during adolescence, it can persist into adulthood, affecting both children and older individuals. Acne can be unpredictable, and it’s challenging to determine when it will completely clear. Acne scar treatment is essential to prevent scarring, alleviate inflammation and discomfort, reduce the formation of new blackheads and whiteheads, and minimize the emotional distress that acne can cause.

Acne scarring can be treated with Fraxel, Smartxide, Accupulse and Morpheus 8, to reduce scaring improve collagen production and refresh pigmented skin.

HydraFacial can then be used to maintain the skin, cleansing and infusing the skin with nutrients reducing future acne breakouts and we can advise regarding cosmeceuticals and recommend Joddor skin treatment.

If you have questions about acne scarring treatment or want to explore your options, please don’t hesitate to book a consultation with our team. We’re here to assist you in achieving clear and healthy skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many acne scar treatments will I need?

Most people will need 4-6 treatment sessions at 2-4 week intervals but it depends on individual needs and response to treatment

What does the acne scarring treatment involve?

Treatment takes about 15 – 20 mins. Most people find it slightly uncomfortable but are able to tolerate it with no problem.

Are photos of the affected area necessary?

We require photographs of the area to be treated before you start a course of treatment and at intervals during your treatment. This helps us to monitor your progress and any side effects of treatment.

Dermatitis Treatment

If you wake up one morning and notice redness on your cheeks and nose, it could be the start of broken capillaries, often referred to as ‘spider veins’ or thread veins. These tiny red veins occur when the capillary walls break, leading to red blotches or small red lines on the skin.

Capillaries play a vital role in supplying blood and nutrients to the skin, contributing to its health.
Broken capillaries tend to become more visible as people age due to the thinning of the skin and the reduction of collagen and elastin. They are particularly noticeable on the face, especially around the nose, cheeks, and chin, and can negatively impact self-confidence.

While broken capillaries are more common in women than men, there are now treatments available to reduce and eliminate this condition. Laser therapy, IPL Photorejuvenation, and Sclerotherapy are innovative treatments that can help rejuvenate the skin, making it appear firmer and smoother, ultimately restoring a more youthful look.

If you’re concerned about broken capillaries, consider booking a consultation with us to explore your treatment options. We’re here to help you regain your confidence and achieve healthy, clear skin.

Eczema Treatment

Eczema is a prevalent skin condition that continues to rise in incidence. This chronic skin condition can cause significant distress and discomfort, with symptoms such as cracked, dry, red skin that becomes sore and intensely itchy.

The most common form of eczema is Atopic eczema, which primarily affects children and is often associated with individuals prone to allergies. Statistics indicate that 3 in 10 people with skin conditions are typically diagnosed with some form of eczema.

In severe cases, Atopic eczema can even lead to skin bleeding. While eczema doesn’t pose a serious health threat, it does significantly impact the daily lives of those affected, both physically and psychologically. For some individuals, living with eczema can be extremely challenging.

The B-Clear system offers a treatment option for eczema sufferers that was previously unavailable, providing much-needed relief from symptoms and discomfort. Eczema treatment with the B-Clear system has brought relief to many people.

This innovative technology represents a breakthrough, taking existing scientific knowledge to a new level by combining the benefits of highly effective UVB light therapy with the latest advancements in fibre-optic-delivered light technology.

If you’re struggling with eczema, consider booking a consultation with us to explore how the B-Clear system can bring you the relief you’ve been seeking. We’re here to help you find relief from the discomfort of eczema and improve your quality of life.

Rosacea Treatment

Rosacea is a lesser-known condition that can cause deep embarrassment and often restricts individuals socially, sometimes leading to it being mistaken for blushing. While more common in men than women, its symptoms can include swelling around the face, eyes, and nose. Rosacea can be triggered or worsened by various factors, including UV exposure, heat, cold, intense physical exercise, alcohol, and caffeine. For those affected, the skin on the face can feel sensitive, and if not managed properly, it can significantly impact their quality of life, leading to anxiety, embarrassment, and low self-esteem.

Fortunately, there are effective treatments for Rosacea that can help manage and control its symptoms. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) or Laser therapy is a successful approach to treating Rosacea. These technologies target the surface blood vessels, reducing flushing and redness in the face associated with Rosacea.

If you or someone you know is struggling with Rosacea, consider booking a consultation with us to explore how Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) or Laser therapy can help improve the condition and provide relief. We understand the challenges that Rosacea can pose, and we are here to provide effective treatments to enhance your quality of life.

Vitiligo Treatment

Vitiligo is a condition that can cause significant embarrassment and depression in those who suffer from it. In the UK alone, an estimated one in every 100 people has Vitiligo. This condition is characterized by white spots that slowly change in size and shape over time, often appearing on the face, neck, scalp, mouth, and in some cases, even the genitals. In extreme cases of universal Vitiligo, depigmentation can cover almost the entire body due to the loss of pigment-forming cells known as melanocytes.

Living with Vitiligo can be challenging, as sufferers often have a constant fear of new spots developing. Many individuals with Vitiligo experience additional stress in their relationships and workplaces. While in some cases, Vitiligo may go away without treatment, it is often a chronic condition. By the time many patients seek treatment, their social lives have already been affected, and they may have developed a deep sense of inferiority.

At our clinic, we offer two Vitiligo treatments that can help combat this condition and improve the quality of life for those affected. ReCell reintroduces skin colour (pigment) to areas of skin that are whiter than the surrounding skin, while BClear combines highly effective UVB light therapy with the latest advances in fibre-optic delivered light technology.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will the vitiligo treatment be spread over?

The treatment may consist of multiple treatments, 2 or 3 times per week, given over 2 – 3 months. In some cases, the affected area will clear gradually and in other cases, the affected area may not clear completely.

How soon after the vitiligo treatment can I be exposed to sun?

Clients should protect the area against excessive sun exposure for up to one month after the treatment.

After the vitiligo treatment will there be a change in my pigments?

The treated area may heal with changed pigment or colour. This increased or decreased pigmentation of the skin should be protected from the sun until it has faded.

Sun Damage Repair

While we all enjoy a little sunshine, excessive sun exposure can lead to premature ageing and skin damage. Unfortunately, many people only realize the consequences of sun overexposure when signs of premature ageing become visible. Sun damage can cause a loss of skin elasticity, leading to early wrinkles, lines, freckles, and spots. UV radiation from the sun damages the DNA in our skin cells, making it difficult for them to repair themselves.

Additionally, sun damage can result in reduced blood supply to affected areas and lead to skin discolouration, including brown spots and thickened skin.

At Aesthetic Beauty Centre, we offer a range of treatments to help repair sun-damaged skin. These treatments include Laser therapy, Peels, Fraxel, and for less severe damage, Microdermabrasion. These procedures are designed to rejuvenate the skin and help individuals regain a more youthful and healthy appearance. It’s important to note that in hot weather, it’s crucial to stay hydrated and regularly reapply sun protection to prevent further damage.

If you’ve experienced sun damage and are looking for effective skin rejuvenation treatments, consider booking a consultation with us. We can assess your specific needs and recommend the best treatment options to repair and revitalize your skin. Don’t let sun damage hold you back; we’re here to help you achieve healthier, more radiant skin.

Lesion Removal

Do you have a bothersome skin lesion, such as a mole, cyst, wart, or skin tag? The good news is that the process of removing these lesions is typically straightforward. Lesion removal can help you eliminate the issue, relieving any annoyance or discomfort associated with it.

Wart Removal

Warts are common skin growths caused by a viral infection, specifically the human papillomavirus (HPV). These growths can be passed from person to person, sometimes indirectly, with the time from initial contact to the appearance of visible warts often taking several months. The risk of transmission is relatively small, and some people are more susceptible to the virus than others. Factors like skin damage or a weakened immune system can increase one’s vulnerability to wart infections.

In children, warts may disappear without treatment over several months to years. However, treatment is advisable if warts are bothersome, painful, or rapidly multiplying. In adults, warts can be more persistent and may not resolve as easily or quickly as they do in children.

Wart removal is a common procedure to address these growths effectively. The specific treatment approach may vary from patient to patient, depending on the nature and location of the warts. During your free consultation, qualified doctors and nurses will discuss the procedure with you, ensuring you are well-informed about the process and any possible side effects.

If you have warts that are causing discomfort or concern, consider booking a consultation with us. We can provide you with more information and discuss the best course of action to address your specific needs and concerns.
