Adult Acne
From £250

Adult acne is a post-adolescent condition that is characterised by excessive production of sebum, leading to oily/greasy skin. Blocked pores lead to inflammation with redness, spots and cysts.
Acne tends to be thought of as a teenage problem which will pass with time, but this couldn’t be further from the truth.
At Cosmedics, we see many patients in their 20’s, 30’s and 40’s who are still really struggling with acne on a day to day basis. It can even recur in the 50’s and late onset acne is especially an issue for those undergoing hormone changes (e.g. menopause) or stress.
There are a number of effective treatments available which reduce and prevent the activity of the acne in order to stop the severe inflammation and pigmentation.
Our skin treatments are designed to address the underlying problems of blocked pores, excessive oiliness, and inflammation / infection, whilst at the same time improving the overall texture and resilience of your skin e.g. laser, peels, microdermabrasion.
Cosmedics Skin Clinics in London offers high tech treatment for acne in Putney and Harley Street.
We can also prescribe ZO Skin Health cosmeceutical skincare regime
Our medical team can also recommend the best route regarding any medication, based on examination of the client’s skin. We recognise that in severe cases, a structured programme of treatment for the acne can work from the inside (medication) as well as outside (skin treatments) can offer excellent results even in serious cases. Treating the acne will prevent the appearance of long-lasting scars. Talk to Cosmedics about the next steps for you.
Whiteheads occur when the normal follicles become blocked with excess oil. The white bumps can be quite numerous.
When whiteheads appear, the best tactic is to prevent them from becoming inflamed.
Treatments to prevent and/or treat whiteheads are:
Pustules are like papules, but filled with pus. The same advice as for papules applies i.e.:
Nodules are large bumps, which go deep into the skin. They can be inflamed and feel quite tender and generally only occur in the most serious cases.
Potential treatment options are likely to include:
Cysts are like nodules, but filled with pus so they feel softer. The patient is likely to have both nodules and cysts and this would generally be considered a severe case of acne.
The same treatment options apply as for nodules, i.e.:
Blackheads are whiteheads with pigmentation and the same guidelines apply as for whiteheads, i.e.:
Unfortunately, it can take longer for the appearance of blackheads to improve due to the pigmentation
