Our cosmetic skin specialists during your consultation will recommend the optimal combination of treatments to manage acne more effectively. Our bespoke acne management skin peels contain active ingredients designed to control excessive oil production, unblock pores and reduce bacterial inflammation.

Depending on the severity of your acne, you may be referred to a consultation with one of our clinical team. This is a prescription-only three-step acne treatment with clinically proven ingredients that penetrate deep into the skin’s layers to tackle acne at the root and control adult acne for a clearer, healthier-looking complexion.

We also commonly treat scars left by acne. The right treatment will depend on how severe your scarring is, and will require a consultation with one of our experts. 

The most common scar is called an atrophic scar (this is due to the reduction of collagen in the skin layers, leading to pitting defects). The scar tissue that bulges out is called hypertrophic scar or keloid scar (with excessive protuberant collagen formation leading to prominent scar tissue). The three types of scarring may be icepick (70%), boxcar (15%) and rolling (15%).

Significant scar-associated erythema (SAE), treatment to address the redness can be an initial and dramatic step toward improving the overall appearance of acne scarring. Our state-of-the-art Pulse dye laser (PDL) and other laser and light devices have been used very successfully in treating SAE. We are able to use fillers to fill volume loss in a scar, along with a range of treatments to improve your skin.

Our experienced practitioners use Alma’s ClearSkin to combine a non-ablative laser with simultaneous contact cooling and vacuum technology to treat acne and acne vulgaris safely and effectively.

The cooled glass laser with vacuum treatment addresses all forms of acne vulgaris including papules, pustules and nodules, while also achieving a gentle rejuvenation effect, diminishing the appearance of acne scars by stimulating collagen renewal.

At Edgbaston Wellness & Medispa we use Alma Laser's revolutionary Clearskin Laser as an attachment to the powerful Harmony XL Pro to treat stubborn and severe cases.

The laser system is specially designed to combat all three catalysts, including excess sebum, dead skin cells, and bacteria. Results are long-lasting, and the procedure is virtually pain-free with no need for needles, numbing, gels, or lengthy appointments.

You can come in with troubling pimples and walk out with clean, rapidly-healing skin in less than 30 minutes!

The laser is non-ablative, which means that it heats up the tissue, but does not destroy it. This accurate laser treatment for acne targets the dermal layer under the skin, blood circulation, and cellular renewal. By penetrating under the surface, your skin quickly heals and regenerates the areas that were affected, even though nothing was actually destroyed or hurt in the process.

This treatment may be used in all skin types to achieve clearer and healthier skin. The treatment may vary between 1 to a course of treatments about 2-4 weeks apart to get the maximum longer-term results. The right treatment will depend on how severe your scarring is and will require a consultation with one of our experts.
