Acne Awareness Month – Our Therapists share their top tips

Acne uncovered: Our Therapists’ top tips for clearer skin

June is Acne Awareness Month, making it the perfect time to shine a spotlight on a common skin concern we see at Woodford Medical.

acne is often associated with teenagers, many adults continue to experience breakouts well into their 30s, 40s and beyond. Whether it’s occasional hormonal flare-ups or persistent adult acne, the condition can have a significant impact on confidence, self-esteem and overall skin health.

The good news? Acne is treatable with the right combination of professional skincare, advanced treatments and expert advice. Our experienced have shared their top tips to help you take control of your skin and achieve lasting results.

One of the biggest mistakes we see is people trying countless products without what their skin actually needs.

At Woodford Medical, we use advanced VISIA Skin Analysis technology to assess your skin in detail. VISIA allows us to evaluate key aspects of skin health, including pigmentation, redness, pore size, texture and sun damage, helping us create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your concerns.

By understanding your skin on a deeper level, we can recommend the most effective skincare products and treatments, saving time, money and frustration.

When it comes to acne, more isn’t always better. Using too many products or frequently changing your skincare routine can often lead to irritation and compromise the skin barrier, making breakouts worse.

A good routine should focus on:

✔ Gentle cleansing

✔ Supporting a healthy skin barrier

✔ Managing congestion and inflammation

✔ Daily SPF protection

✔ use of targeted active ingredients

Our therapists often remind patients that healthy skin is a marathon, not a sprint. Consistency is key, and small daily habits often deliver the long-term improvements.

Not all skincare products are created equal. We recommend professional skincare because the formulations contain high-quality active ingredients and are designed to work synergistically with in-clinic treatments to deliver optimal results.

Marini SkinSolutions

The range helps address concerns such as congestion, uneven texture, post-inflammatory pigmentation and signs of ageing, making it an excellent option for patients seeking healthier, clearer skin.

Our therapists can recommend the most products based on your skin type, and treatment goals.

Many people seek help only after acne has already resulted in redness, pigmentation or scarring. Early intervention is one of the most ways to minimise long-term skin damage and prevent more complex concerns from developing.

If you’re experiencing persistent breakouts, or recurring acne, seeking professional advice sooner rather than later can make a significant difference to both your skin health and treatment outcomes.

While a good skincare routine forms the foundation of healthy skin, professional can often deliver faster and more significant improvements.

Professional Skin Peels

Professional skin peels remain one of the most effective treatments for acne-prone skin. At Woodford Medical, we offer a range of peels from Neova, Marini SkinSolutions and Vital Assist, allowing us to tailor treatment to each patient’s unique skin concerns.

By encouraging healthy cell turnover and reducing congestion, these treatments can help improve active breakouts, refine skin texture, minimise the appearance of pores and brighten post-inflammatory pigmentation.

While skincare and treatments play a vital role in managing acne, everyday habits can also influence your skin.

Our recommend:

• picking or squeezing spots

• Cleaning makeup brushes regularly

• Removing makeup thoroughly each evening

• Changing pillowcases frequently

• Managing stress where possible

• Staying hydrated and maintaining a balanced diet

Small changes can often have a surprisingly positive impact on overall skin health.
