Winter Acne To Summer-Clear Skin: Doctor-Led Acne And Scar Plans In Portsmouth For Long-Term Results

Acne, skin congestion and post-acne scarring are year-round concerns, however structured treatment plans designed for you within a doctor-led environment here at The Pemberley Clinic can help you achieve a clear complexion that lasts. Here's everything you need to know about our acne and acne scarring treatment options in Portsmouth for clearer and calmer skin.

From Seasonal Flare-Ups To Long-Term Change

Central heating and harsh winter weather conditions can take a toll on our skin barrier, leading to breakouts, sensitivity and acne flareups. As we've now emerged from a long winter season, this is the ideal time to give your skin some TLC and set yourself up for a clearer spring and summer.

If you've already tried high-street skincare products or prescription creams from your GP that promised to clear up your skin but with little success, it's likely that those products aren't designed to help with the type of acne you're experiencing.

During a 1-to-1 skin consultation with one of our experts, we'll use our innovative OBSERV skin scanner to understand what's going on beneath the surface to identify the type of acne and scarring you're experiencing. This information will be used to build a bespoke treatment plan designed specifically for you and your skin.

Building A Doctor-Led Acne Treatment Plan

There are many avenues we can explore when putting together your acne and acne scarring treatment plan. We use a combination of medical-grade skincare and prescription options via a doctor, where appropriate, as well as treatments including skin peels and our innovative MediLUX LED device to calm active breakouts.

Patients are never pushed toward devices immediately, as we prefer to utilise a staged and conservative approach to achieve excellent, lasting outcomes. This also allows us to ensure your skin health remains a priority and you don't need to deal with over-peeling or an overly dry complexion, which can cause its own issues.

Targeting Post-Acne Scarring And Texture

If you're experiencing texture and scarring after all active breakouts have cleared, there are a number of different treatment options that can help you to achieve a more even complexion.

SkinPen microneedling can help with widespread fine scarring and enlarged pores. For more established scarring or a combination of different types of scarring, INTRAcel radiofrequency microneedling can provide better outcomes.

There's also the option to explore polynucleotides and exosomes, which can be administered after microneedling to support deep healing and contribute to a glowing, healthy-looking complexion.

Supportive Technologies For Acne-Prone Skin

The MediLUX LED device can help to calm redness and inflammation caused by acne, as well as support skin healing following a treatment session. The V30 laser is another option available to us, which can help to minimise discrete redness or visible veins from long-standing breakouts.

These are all technologies available here at The Pemberley Clinic and can be explored with your skin expert when creating your bespoke treatment plan.
