What you might notice
- Recurring inflamed spots along the jaw, chin or cheeks
- Congestion and blackheads across the nose and forehead
- Indented or dark marks left behind after healing
Why it happens
Hormonal fluctuation, excess oil, follicular blockage and bacterial overgrowth, often made worse by over-cleansing, harsh scrubs or an unsuitable routine.
How it's approached at the clinic
- 01
Calm inflammation before attempting to resurface
- 02
Use LED and gentle extraction while the skin settles
- 03
Move to peels or microneedling for scarring once stable
- 04
Refer to a GP or dermatologist where prescription medication is needed
What to expect, honestly
Scarring is improved rather than erased, usually over a course of treatments. Active acne with an underlying medical cause may need medical treatment alongside clinic care.
Questions about acne & acne scarring
Can you treat acne scarring in Wimbledon Village?
Yes. Microneedling with SkinPen Precision and tailored peels are the main options, planned as a course after a full consultation and once any active breakouts have settled.
