Acne Treatment

1. In a nutshell what is acne?

Acne is a common, non contagious condition that causes spots that can affect the face, chest, back and shoulders.

Acne is most common for teenagers around the ages of 14-19 due to hormone changes however, adults can also be affected by acne later in life.

Acne occurs when the skin follicles are blocked by dead skin cells and an oil called sebum. This can lead to spots forming on the skin as well as blackheads and whiteheads.

2. Are there different types of spots?

Acne is often characterised by 6 different types of spots: blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pustules, nodules and cysts.

These spots can be characterised into two different categories: inflamed and non-inflamed spots.

Non-inflamed spots are blackheads or whiteheads. Inflamed spots are red bumps, pus-filled spots and cysts.

There are also different types of acne: Mild acne is where a patient has non-inflamed spots. Moderate acne is where a patient has both inflamed and non-inflamed spots which could leave scars. Severe acne is where patients have inflamed spots and cysts and will leave scars.

3. Which factors cause acne?

Acne can be caused by hormonal changes experienced as a teenager, for example the production of testosterone.

Patients are more likely to experience acne if both parents had or have acne.

Acne can also be caused by some medications, for example; medicines for epilepsy and medications for depression.

If a patient is experiencing acne it would be beneficial to avoid wearing make up.

Acne is not caused by bad hygiene, washing and scrubbing at your acne will not help instead it could irritate it.

4. How should I wash acne prone skin?

Skin should be washed no more than twice a day and with non-perfumed materials and soaps.

Tips to help your acne

Don’t wash your face more than twice a day and use non-perfumed soaps
Always use warm water
Avoid squeezing your spots
Always remove your makeup before bed and if possible avoid wearing it too often
Regularly wash your hair
Use non-perfumed moisturisers to avoid dry skin
When you exercise have a shower as soon as you can to remove any sweat

5. Which other treatments are available?

At Dental & Skin we offer many different skin treatments to help improve acne.

Microneedling, microdermabrasion and chemical peels can all help. However, microneedling should not be used on active acne.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive, chemical free, non surgical skin rejuvenation treatment.

Microdermabrasion is a mechanical skin exfoliation treatment which uses medical grade crystals to remove the top layer of the skin.

Our skin interprets this as an injury and instantly begins producing a new, refreshed layer of skin.

A diamond tip applicator is used to apply the crystals and a vacuum is used to clear them away, revealing a fresher, rejuvenated complexion.

One of the main benefits of microdermabrasion is that it is not invasive and no chemicals are used. It simply rejuvenates your skin by exfoliation.

Microdermabrasion stimulates the body’s blood flow, improving your circulation and subsequently delivering more nutrients and oxygen. This helps with improving the skin’s appearance and elasticity.

Microdermabrasion increases the absorption of other products into your skin. This is particularly useful for patients who are applying topical acne cream.

Microdermabrasion helps to unclog pores and reduce their size.

Microdermabrasion does not have any recovery time and is one of the safest procedures for rejuvenating your skin.

Treatment time is 30 minutes, this enables patients to return to their daily activities quickly.

Chemical Peels

At Dental & Skin we offer various chemical peels; lactic acid chemical peel, glycolic acid peel, salicylic acid peel, citric acid peel, retinol peel, mendalic acid peel and phenol chemical peel.

    Stefanie Akinmade

    I have been a client of Dental and Skin since January and I've had a really good experience. I had some intense dental procedures over the past few months and everyone has been super patient and understanding. Plus, they really breakdown the cost of everything so you know what to expect and plan for. That said, the staff is super friendly and I feel like I am seeing friends when I have my visits which actually makes going to the dentist more enjoyable.
    Fiona Morrison

    I would highly recommend this practice. Staff are friendly and efficient and the practice has all the latest technology for both teeth and skin. I had the hygiene treatment today and my teeth feel lovely and clean. Kaitlin was very friendly and knowledgeable as well as doing a great job. Very happy customer.
    Daniela Camacho

    Very happy that i choose to get my Lip Filler (1 ml) at Dental And Skin as i received a very good service and i'm pleased with the outcome of my treatment. Good and relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommend for skin treatments, i'm already going back for teeth whitening 🙂
    Amy Monty

    I love this place. Having always hated dentists, they are so kind and gentle and calm that I now have no fear about going in! I've never had any pain or discomfort in the chair. The offices are lovely and calm and facilities are high spec. I always work with the same people, which is nice, a this means you know exactly who you will see every time and if you have an issue you are never fobbed off to someone who doesn't know your background. They always take time to check in with me and explain fully every product and answer any questions I have. I can't recommend DS highly enough!
    Ross Butler

    I have lived in London for 15 years and this is my favourite dentist in London, The service is fantastic and I always walk away feeling better than I did go in, even if it is just a check up. There is no other reason to visit another dentist than this one 🙂
    Jack Paire

    Wow, a great skin clinic! Received excellent and accurate advise for my skin. I found my consultation unique, Dr Patel analysed my face, skin and highlighted areas that could be improved. He is very experienced and knew exactly what I needed. The clinic was calm and relaxing, I decided to go for botox treatment as I have had it several times at various clinics in Australia and London. The preparation at Dental & Skin was longer, strength of my face muscles and skin were thoroughly examined, treatment performed. It took a only a few minutes to complete, I went back to work and forgot about it. The results at follow up were perfect, in fact the best botox treatment I have had to date. I will definitely return for further treatments. I am comfortable to openly recommend Dental & Skin.

    Probably the best dentist I have ever visited. The gentlemen was an assassin. I was in need of root canal treatment before I went away on holiday for a month. He had me in and out of the chair within an hour and virtually no pain with the best advice ever received. Pure artist in his profession.
    Katy Ordidge

    There is a really nice ambience in this practice and all the staff are helpful. Dr Patel is wonderful - very calm and reassuring. He takes time to explain everything and make sure you are happy with the treatment plan. I highly recommend this practice.

    I went to Dental & Skin for a teeth whitening treatment and I am vert satisfied with the results. Moreover, the staff are friendly and helpful and the dental practice is very clean.
    Naomi Morton

    I was recommended to see Dr Vishal for Invisalign braces. I was impressed by how simple the treatment was, Dr Vishal's explanation was full and included a printed plan. I completed my treatment within 6 months with Invisalign Lite. The clever bit of technology was the live design session that allowed my teeth to be move into position on a computer screen, while we planned treatment. The appointments were easy to make and my treatment finished slightly earlier than expected. The results are amazing, I love my smile. I do recommend friends and family to visit Dental & Skin. Dr Vishal is an expert in smile creating, he's very gentle and friendly.

    I visit this dentist for the first time, I have visit several dentist in Islington. Its natural to compare your experiences, I found Dental & Skin calm and relaxing, this is unusual as my previous other dental experiences have been a bit rushed. Its fair to say that for me this is the best dentist in Islington. I was provided with precise care, they took time to understand me and my concerns, I was provided with various choices. I was offered an appointment immediately, all my treatment completed within one week. This was by far the most efficient experience I have had at a dentist. Thank you for providing such great care. No pain, all treatment completed as planned, I feel great. I will definitely visit again.

    I found Dental & skin online and decided to attend for skin analysis, my skin was thoroughly and systematically checked for wrinkles, volume, skin problems, measurements using a ruler for proportions. I was offered various treatments like skin peels, miconeedling, skin brightening, scar reduction, PRP therapy and dermal fillers. I felt that there was a lot of options for treatment. I wanted lip dermal fillers, specific shape or enhancement. I felt that I was understood and it was the right choice for me and decided to have one treatment. Paperwork was completed and I was informed of all potential complications that could occur and written aftercare, little scary when you read documents but I felt confident to continue. Numbing cream on my lips took only a few minutes to work. Now that I have completed my fist lip dermal fillers, I would definitely recommend Dental & Skin.
