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 on a common skin concern we see at Woodford Medical.

Although 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 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 understanding 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 individual concerns.

By understanding your skin on a deeper level, we can recommend the most effective skincare 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

✔ Consistent use of active ingredients

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

Not all skincare 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

combines advanced skincare science with clinically proven ingredients designed to improve skin health and appearance. The range helps address concerns such as congestion, uneven texture, post-inflammatory pigmentation and signs of ageing, making it an excellent option for patients healthier, clearer skin.

combines advanced skincare technology with powerful antioxidant protection to support skin repair, reduce inflammation and against environmental damage. It is particularly beneficial for patients undergoing skin rejuvenation treatments and those looking to maintain healthy, resilient skin.

Vital Assist

offers targeted skincare solutions designed to support skin health and recovery. The range can help improve overall skin while supporting clearer, healthier-looking skin.

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

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

If you’re experiencing persistent breakouts, inflammation 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 treatments can often deliver faster and more significant improvements.

Professional Skin Peels

Professional skin peels remain one of the most 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, habits can also influence your skin.

Our therapists recommend:

• Avoiding picking or squeezing spots

• Cleaning makeup brushes regularly

• 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.
