We also offer a range of other cosmetic treatments to treat acne and acne scars. These acne treatments include chemical facial peels, IPL skin rejuvenation, laser skin rejuvenation and microneedling/DermaPen.

Get in touchThe benefits of Acne treatment are cosmetic, medical and psychological, and include:
Acne is often thought of as a condition which only affects teenagers. But adult acne is the 8th most common skin condition, affecting as many as 85 percent of women aged 25 and over and 15 percent of men.
Acne commonly occurs in the following areas:
The symptoms of acne can vary depending on the severity of the condition. A person suffering from acne may experience one or more of the following:
Whiteheads
Whiteheads are made up of a mixture of skin cells, oil, and bacteria. This creates a white tip, giving the appearance of a small pimple. However the area immediately surrounding the whitehead is not red or inflamed.
Blackheads
These look like little black dots on the skin. The colour of blackheads means they can often stand out. These small bumps are caused by blocked hair follicles which give blackheads their colour.
Papules
A papule is a raised area of skin that is usually less than 1cm in size and can present in a variety of shapes and colours. A papule may feel tender or sore.
Pustules
Pustules are small white bumps caused by a build-up of pus. It is easy to tell the difference between a whitehead and pustule as pustules are surrounded by red skin.
Nodules
Nodules are hard, painful acne lesions which are buried deep under the skin. These often don’t develop a head and unlike regular spots, nodular acne can last for many weeks or even months.
Cysts
These are the most severe type of spot caused by acne. Cysts are large lumps filled with pus and look similar to boils. They can often cause pain and discomfort. If these are left untreated, there is a great risk of permanent scarring. If you suffer from cystic acne, it is important that you seek treatment from an acne specialist.
There are three different types of acne - mild, moderate and severe. The type of acne treatment required will largely depend on which type of acne you have.
Picking spots, particularly nodules or cysts, can lead to acne scarring. Sometimes these scars may be quite prominent and their presence may have a negative impact on self-confidence and mental wellbeing. We offer acne scar treatment here at the Cadogan Clinic.

The whole experience was very professional and any worries we went in with were soon taken away after the team greeted us and treated us."Jessica Yates
Excessive oil production, clogged pores, bacteria and inflammation are often responsible for acne in teenagers and adults. But there are a number of different things which are known to cause acne breakouts.
Hormonal changes
Women in particular are prone to acne due to fluctuating hormone levels. These may be caused by menstruation, pregnancy, breastfeeding, menopause or certain birth control methods, including the progesterone-only contraceptive pill. It is also common in women who have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Teenage acne is thought to be triggered by increased levels of testosterone, which occurs during puberty. This applies to both boys and girls.
Genetics
It has been proved that a person may be more prone to acne if there is a family history of the condition.
Stress
Stress can be a major cause of acne breakouts. When we feel stressed, our body releases more of the stress hormone cortisol. In cases where a person is under extreme stress for a prolonged period of time, then this can lead to an imbalance of cortisol. This can lead to the appearance of acne.
Skin irritation
Anything which irritates and upsets the natural balance of the skin can cause acne. Sources of irritation include shaving, using certain skincare products and repeatedly wearing items which rub a particular area of skin, such as a backpack. Frequent washing can also irritate the skin and make symptoms worse, so it is important that you do not wash affected areas of skin more than twice a day. Use a mild soap or cleanser and lukewarm water. Water which is very hot or cold can make acne worse.
Medications
Certain medications are known to cause acne. These include steroid medicines, lithium and certain drugs used to treat epilepsy.
Smoking, a lack of sleep, changes in the weather and illness can also cause acne to develop. Anything which upsets the balance of the body’s hormones or weakens the immune system can lead to outbreaks of acne. It is important to note that acne is not caused by poor diet, eating greasy foods, dirt, poor hygiene, having sex or masturbation.
Do not try to squeeze or remove blackheads or spots. Not only could this make the problem worse, but it also increases the risk of permanent scarring.
Acne is often associated with puberty and is a very common condition in teenagers and younger adults. NHS figures suggest that around 95 percent of people aged 11 to 30 are affected by acne to some extent.
Acne is most common in girls from the ages of 14 to 17. Boys are most likely to experience acne between the ages of 16 and 19. This is because boys generally start puberty later than girls.
Most teenagers and young adults have acne on and off for a number of years before their symptoms start to improve as they get older.
Adult acne refers to anyone who suffers from acne and is over the age of 25.
Acne often disappears when a person reaches their mid-20s, but sometimes this acne can continue into adult life. Around three percent of adults over the age of 35 suffer from acne. Research shows that acne becomes much less common after the age of 44, and in women, it is much less prevalent after menopause.
However adult acne is much less likely to clear on its own without treatment.
Given the material risk of scarring, we always recommend you get your acne looked at by a professional dermatologist or seek medical advice.

Treatment choice depends on how severe the acne is. It may take several months of treatment before you notice any improvements in the condition. As mentioned above, there are a number of different acne treatments that we offer here at the Cadogan Clinic. Here we will look at these in more detail.
Topical creams and gels
These are usually prescribed for less severe cases of acne. If you just have a few spots, blackheads and whiteheads then topical treatments containing benzoyl peroxide may help.
Oral antibiotics
Antibiotic tablets are prescribed to treat more severe acne, usually in combination with a topical treatment. It usually takes about six weeks before you notice an improvement in the appearance of acne. A typical course of oral antibiotics lasts between four to six months. Not all antibiotics are suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
Hormonal treatments
Hormonal therapies can be used to help treat women with acne. This is often used to help control acne which is linked to the menstrual cycle or conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
Oral contraceptive pills
The combined oral contraceptive pill, usually just referred to as ‘the pill’ contains female hormones oestrogen and progesterone which are produced naturally by the ovaries. These hormones lower the amount of androgens in the body, which can lead to excess sebum. Sebum is an oily substance secreted by the skin which can cause acne. However the progesterone-only pill can make acne worse.
Prescription medicine
Isotretinoin is an oral treatment commonly prescribed to treat severe cases of acne. However this treatment has serious side effects and may not be suitable for people with certain medical conditions.
Chemical facial peels
A chemical facial peel is applied to the face to remove dead skin cells and stimulate the growth of new cells. The aim of this cosmetic treatment is to improve the appearance of the skin. A chemical peel is not a ‘one-size-fits-all’ treatment, but can be tailored to an individual’s own specific needs.
IPL skin rejuvenation
Also known as phototherapy, Intense Pulse Light (IPL) treatment delivers a carefully measured dose of ultraviolet light to reduce the body’s immune response. This reduces inflammation of the skin. IPL can help to destroy the bacteria that create acne, therefore reducing its appearance on the skin.
Laser skin rejuvenation
In laser skin rejuvenation, a precision laser is used to remove the skin layers. The new skin cells that form during the healing process will make the skin appear younger and fresher, drastically reducing the appearance of problem acne. This can be combined with other treatments for an enhanced result.
Microneedling/dermapen
DermaPen is a skin microneedling treatment which punctures holes into the skin, stimulating collagen growth and improving overall skin tone and texture. This includes reducing the appearance of acne.
Before undergoing any treatment, you will have a consultation with one of our acne specialists who will determine the best treatment for you.
We have invited a selection of the country's very best consultants to join us at the Cadogan Clinic so that you can be sure that whatever the nature of your treatment, you will be seeing one of the top practitioners in the country.

Get in touchIs acne hereditary?
Acne can run in families but its representation in the population is extensive, and it can occur in anyone.
How can I prevent acne?
How does acne form?
The visible signs of acne are actually caused by issues that develop underneath the skin.
In this layer of the skin there are tiny structures called sebaceous glands that produce an oily substance called sebum that lubricates the surface of your skin and hair.
Sebum usually passes through the hair follicle out into the surface of the skin. When the follicle becomes blocked, however, the sebum begins to build up inside, leading to the formation of pimples and spots on the surface of the skin.
This blockage can happen for a variety of reasons: most frequently, it is caused by an excess of sebum being produced, or dead skin cells or makeup blocking the exit point onto the surface of the skin.
Once the blockage has been created, sebum continues to be produced, making the issue worse.
Can all types of acne be treated?
Yes all types of acne can be treated, however severe. The more severe the case, the sooner you must seek medical advice.
What kind of results can I expect?
Outcomes and results vary by case and the status of the existing acne, when treatment is sought. It is most common for your acne to be fully cleared, although some particularly stubborn cases can require ongoing treatment.
Will acne go away on its own?
During the teenage years it is common for acne to disappear on its own. Adult acne is much less likely to clear on its own without treatment.
Given the material risk of scarring, we always recommend you get your acne looked at by a professional dermatologist or seek medical advice.
Are acne scars permanent?
There are highly effective treatments for reducing the appearance of acne scars, sometimes completely. This depends on the type of scarring, however.
To find out more, visit our dedicated Acne scars treatment page.
Can IPL treatment be used to treat acne?
Yes, IPL treatments can be used to treat the appearance of acne. By undergoing a number of treatments, varying depending on the patient and the severity of the condition, IPL can help to destroy the bacteria that create acne, therefore reducing its appearance on the skin.
What is cystic acne?
Cystic acne is one of the most severe types of acne.
It is caused when sebum and puss begin to build up inside the skin, and instead of breaking through the surface or being healed by the immune system, the acne continues to grow deep into the skin, sometimes even rupturing the sebaceous glands that produce the sebum in the first place in some cases.
This is the most difficult type of acne to treat, because it is too deep for most topical medications to be effective.
What is the difference between a blackhead and a whitehead?
The difference between whiteheads and blackheads relate to variations in the skin follicles and whether they are closed off from the surface or not
