At The Axis Clinic in North London, we understand how deeply acne and acne scars can affect your confidence and overall well-being. Whether you’re looking to control active acne or address stubborn scars left behind, we offer a comprehensive range of treatments tailored to your specific needs. Our experienced team is dedicated to helping you achieve clearer, smoother, and healthier skin.
Treatments for Active Acne
Controlling active acne is often the first step in your journey to better skin. Acne can be persistent and challenging, which is why we provide evidence-based treatments to target its root causes. Among our offerings are:
- Chemical Peels:
- The Perfect Peel: An advanced peel that addresses acne-causing congestion and improves post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
- Obagi Blue Peel Radiance: A medical-grade peel designed to unclog pores, smooth skin texture, and reduce redness and discolouration caused by acne.
- TCA Peels: A highly effective treatment to reduce active acne, pigmentation, and improve overall skin texture.
- Medical-Grade Skincare:
- Prescription-strength topicals like Tretinoin to control active acne, reduce inflammation, and optimize treatment outcomes when combined with in-clinic procedures.
- LaseMD Ultra:
- A gentle yet powerful laser treatment that resurfaces the skin, reduces active acne, and delivers therapeutic ingredients like retinoids for long-term skin health.
Treatments for Acne Scars
Acne scars come in various forms and depths, requiring a tailored approach to achieve optimal results. At The Axis Clinic, we offer advanced treatments to address all types of scars, from shallow discolourations to deep pitted scars:
- Microneedling or Morpheus8:
- Stimulate collagen production to smooth uneven skin texture and reduce the appearance of scars.
- CO2 Laser:
- A gold-standard treatment for deeper scars, using precise laser technology to resurface and rejuvenate the skin.
- Subcision with Polynucleotides or PRP:
- A targeted treatment to release tethered scars beneath the skin, combined with regenerative polynucleotides or Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) to enhance healing and skin regeneration.
Combined Modalities for Best Results
Acne and acne scars are often multifaceted issues that require a combination of treatments to achieve the best outcomes. Our doctors will work closely with you to develop a personalised treatment plan, combining modalities where necessary to maximise results. For example:
- Pairing chemical peels with LaseMD Ultra to tackle active acne and early scarring.
- Using microneedling alongside Morpheus8 or CO2 laser for more pronounced scars.
- Adding subcision to break up scar tissue before resurfacing treatments for deeper scars.
