Acne Consultation

Initial Assessment

At Hamilton Skin Clinic, we begin with an assessment to understand your medical history, skin type, acne severity, and underlying causes. This helps us tailor a treatment plan specifically for you.

Treatment Plans

Our personal treatment plans may include a combination of treatments, such as topical medications, oral medications, and advanced dermatological procedures, to address your condition.

Acne Scar Filling

Techniques and Materials Used
Acne scar filling involves injecting volumisers into depressed scars to elevate them to the level of the surrounding skin. This provides an instant improvement in skin texture.

Instant Improvement in Skin Texture
The results from acne scar filling are immediate, offering a quick solution for those looking to improve their skin’s appearance without undergoing more intensive procedures.

Acne Scarring Treatments

Various Treatment Options
We offer a range of treatments to address acne scarring, including laser therapy, chemical peels, and micro needling. Each treatment is selected based on the type and severity of the scars.

Long-Term Benefits
Effective scarring treatments not only improve the appearance of your skin but also boost your confidence. With the right approach, you can enjoy smooth, clear skin long-term.

Topical Prescription Creams

Types of Prescription Creams
We offer a variety of prescription creams that can be tailored to your skin’s needs. These include retinoids, antibiotics, and other medicated creams.

How They Help in Acne Management
Topical creams are an essential part of acne management, helping to reduce inflammation, kill bacteria, and prevent new breakouts.

Dermatology Skin Care Range

Products Available
Our clinic provides a dermatology-approved skin care range that complements our treatment plans. These products are designed to work in synergy with other treatments to enhance results.

Integrating Skin Care with Treatment
Using the right skin care products at home is vital for maintaining the results of your in-clinic treatments. Our dermatologists will recommend a regime tailored to your skin type and concerns.

Other Acne Treatments

Light Therapy

Introduction to Light Therapy

Light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to target acne-causing bacteria and reduce inflammation. It is a non-invasive and painless treatment option.

Benefits and Effectiveness

Light therapy is effective in reducing acne lesions and preventing future breakouts. It also helps calm redness and promotes healing.

Procedure and Aftercare

Sessions are around 15-20 minutes long with zero downtime required. Aftercare includes maintaining a good skincare routine and using sunscreen to protect your skin.

IPL Intense Pulsed Light

How IPL Works
IPL uses broad-spectrum light to penetrate the skin and target both the bacteria that cause acne and the pigmentation left behind by acne scars.

Benefits for Acne and Scarring
This treatment not only reduces active acne but also diminishes redness and pigmentation, leading to a more even skin tone and smoother texture.

Micro Skin Needling

What is Micro Skin Needling?

Micro skin needling involves using fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin, stimulating collagen production and enhancing skin repair.

Benefits of Micro Skin Needling

This treatment helps reduce acne scars, improve skin texture, and promote a youthful appearance. It also enhances the absorption of skincare products.

Procedure and Aftercare

The procedure may cause mild discomfort and redness, which subsides quickly. Aftercare includes using hydrating products, avoiding getting sunburnt, and using retinols and other actives in your skincare regime for 3-5 days.

Chemical Skin Peels

How Chemical Peels Work
Chemical peels involve applying a solution to the skin, which exfoliates the top layers and promotes new skin growth. This can help reduce acne and improve skin texture.

Benefits of Chemical Peels

Chemical peels can effectively treat acne, reduce scarring, and enhance overall skin tone and texture. They also help unclog pores and remove dead skin cells.

Procedure and Aftercare

The procedure is quick and involves minimal discomfort. Post-treatment, it’s important to use hydrating products, limit sun exposure, and avoid using retinols or other actives in your skincare for 3-5 days.

Adult Acne

Causes and Challenges
Adult acne can be particularly frustrating, as it often results from hormonal changes, stress, and lifestyle factors. It requires a different approach compared to teenage acne.

Treatment Options for Adults
We offer treatments specifically designed for adult acne, including hormonal therapies and advanced topical treatments that address the root causes.

Hormonal Acne

Effective Treatment Strategies
Our dermatologists can prescribe treatments that balance hormone levels and reduce breakouts. These may include oral contraceptives, anti-androgen medications, and lifestyle adjustments.

Understanding Hormonal Triggers
Hormonal acne is often linked to fluctuations in hormones, particularly androgens. This type of acne is common in women and can be challenging to treat.

Resistant or Scarring Cases

Addressing Severe Acne
For those with severe, resistant acne, we offer advanced treatments such as isotretinoin (commonly known as Roaccutane). This powerful medication can provide long-term relief from severe acne.

Advanced Treatment Options
Severe cases often require a multi-faceted approach, combining medications, lifestyle changes, and in-clinic treatments to achieve the best results.

At Hamilton Skin Clinic, we’re dedicated to helping you achieve clear, healthy skin. Our personalised, comprehensive approach ensures that we address the unique needs of each patient, providing effective treatments for all types of acne.
