Treatments for acne, oily skin and blocked pores

  • LED light therapy can combine as an add on service to any ofcabove treatments to calm inflammation, irritation and bacteria, either as part of a four-stage process or as a booster to any other skin treatment, with no downtime: click here for more details.

Treatment products for acne and oily skin

Our skincare products are classed as ‘cosmeceutical’ grade or medical grade, as they have active ingredients that penetrate under the skin.

Just like skin treatments are a tailored approach, your skin care products should be also carefully selected to treat the proplematic areas of your skin. With the use of our SkinObserv analyser we are able to pin point where the bacteria is as well as the over production of excess oil, including any visible and textural concerns. This additional step in your skin assessment allows your practitioner to specifically prescribe only the most beneficial products that will compliment and enhance your treatment at home.

Not only these products will prepare your skin for a safe and more effective treatment, they will maximise and maintain your results your practitioner has carefully delivered for you. Our ethos for the ultimate healthy skin doesn’t stop at the treatment couch, rather it becomes a daily lifestyle routine in order to maintain your skin, prevent your condition reoccurring and minimise your future visits to the Clinic. You’ll be taught how to take back control of your skin.

But we don’t stop there. Sometimes the missing piece of the puzzle comes down to the supplements that you take or the make- up that you apply. This will be carefully assessed and taken into consideration at your skin assessment.

At Skin Perfection London you can be assured we’ve only selected the most suitable and multi-award winning product lines to compliment your treatment plan. Treating form within as well out.

More about acne, oily skin and blocked pores

What is acne?

Acne is a common skin condition that affects most people, to some extent, usually when they're in their teens and early twenties (although 'adult acne' can continue into later years).

It can vary from relatively mild and superficial blackheads or whiteheads with oily skin, to more severe inflamed spots and cysts that leave permanent scarring.

Acne usually affects the face, back and front of the chest, but can also appear on the lower back, buttocks and thighs.

What causes acne?

There have been many myths over the years about the causes of acne, as well as how to treat it.

It’s mainly caused by hormonal changes that lead to an over-production of sebum (the oil that the skin produces naturally to keep itself from drying out).

When the skin’s pores (openings for hair follicles) become blocked with excess sebum and dead skin cells, oily skin, blocked pores and acne are the result.

Acne scarring

Acne lesions, particularly cysts, can leave scarring where there has been intense, collagen-damaging inflammation of the skin.

There are three main types of acne scars, characterised by their shape:

  • atrophic (mostly broad and shallow)
  • boxcar-shaped (wider and deeper, with straight sides)
  • icepick-shaped (narrow and deeper).

People with darker skin tones may also notice darkening (or hyperpigmentation) within the scars, while people with lighter skin tones may show redness (or erythema) within the scars.

It’s hard not to feel self-conscious if you’ve been left with visible acne scars, as they can be an unsightly reminder of having to deal with that condition.

But with a little help, that can change: today’s cosmetic treatments can now reduce - or in many cases, completely remove - acne scars.

See below for our range of treatment options.

What makes acne worse?

Sun exposure can cause acne scars to darken and may slow the healing process. UV rays stimulate melanocytes (pigment-producing cells), leading to further discolouration.

Physical sun blocks (unlike chemical sun creams) give instant protection and - importantly - don't contain chemicals or additives that may increase skin sensitivity or block the skin and cause the acne and redness to worsen.

So before heading outdoors, use an SPF 30+ sunscreen with the physical blocker zinc oxide, and reapply every two hours.

Picking and squeezing spots can cause pus and bacteria to filter deeper into the skin, which increases collagen damage and the spread of bacteria - causing more spots and more scarring.

Scars are made mostly of collagen, a protein fibre normally found in the skin's second layer. They are the body's way of repairing itself.

Acne scars are typically indented because of collagen loss from intense inflammation. Picking leads to further inflammation and injury of the skin, which adds to skin discolouration and scarring.

Vitamin E applied topically to scars may not help them heal faster, as is sometimes claimed.

According to a study from researchers at the University of Miami, applying the nutrient directly onto a scar can actually hinder its healing.

In the study, vitamin E had no effect (or made matters worse) for 90% of the patients, and 33% who used topical vitamin E developed a contact dermatitis.

Vitamin A (or derivatives of Vitamin A) and Vitamin C may be more effective, as they calm inflammation, protect the skin from free radical damage and help lighten any skin discolouration.

Getting help with acne, acne scarring, oily skin and blocked pores

Whatever the cause, and whatever age we are, any signs of acne can have a big effect on how we feel about ourselves.

Many sufferers have tried medication prescribed by their GP or dermatologist but if these treatments have been unsuccessful, there is little else the NHS can offer.

If you are self-conscious about having spots and scarring, however mild, please do call us at Skin Perfection.

There are many prescription treatments available but acne-prone skin usually responds well to a specifically-tailored combination of treatments - see below for details.

    Sinead Gleeson

    I’ve been coming here for over a month now for blue LED light treatment and can’t recommend enough! The treatment itself has done wonders for my acne, the staff are lovely and the location is great. I also think the prices are very reasonable and have recommended Skin Perfection to my sister, who has started the same treatment.
    Ruth Eve


  • 5 out of 5

    I have visited the saloon for 6 course of yellow LED light therapy. The ladies there are all very nice and gave me full information about the treatment before during and after the course of 6. It is quite difficult to take appointment within a short time so i suggest to book your slot asap as they get fully booked very easily. …

    Skin Perfection is one of the best clinics I have ever been to, they know what they talking about when it comes to your skin… When you first step in the clinic you are made to feel very welcome not rushed and they listen to what your concerns are about your skin, and what products will be best for your skin.
    Caroline Hendey


  • 5 out of 5

    I had my first session of laser hair removal today. I was anxious but Lauren B was very informative, professional and patient. I even noticed results from my patch test. The clinic is sparkling clean and clinically spotless. They are fully informed and professionally trained and I’m looking forward to the rest of my treatments. …

  • 5 out of 5

    … I’m delighted with the results of my recent LVL (“lash volume lift”) treatment. Lilly added volume and dimension to my stick straight, long blonde lashes. The curl and blue/black tint really made them pop! I feel so pretty and awake now without makeup, and with mascara, the extra drama is intense in the best way. So happy I found a way to enhance my lashe without those high-maintenance and damaging extensions.
    Lindsay Gray


  • 5 out of 5

    … I have had a course of skin treatments: photofacial rejuvenation combined with a peel and my skin feels so much better for it. It can be uncomfortable during treatment but definitely worth the results.
    Steph Haverly


  • 4.5 out of 5

    I’d highly recommend Skin Perfection. I’ve used them for my lazer hair removal and it has been extremely successful. They are incredibly professional, fast and organised, always texting or calling before appointments, always on time and the treatment itself has worked really well and I’m going to continue using them for more.
