Dermatologist top tips to manage acne before your consultation:
To get an accurate assessment of your skin's condition, we recommend following these simple tips to manage your acne before your consultation. Doing so will help us create the best long-term solution for you. Here are some of our top tips to help prepare your skin and get the most out of your consultation.
Keep your routine simple: Before your consultation, simplify your skincare routine by using only a gentle cleanser and moisturizer to avoid irritation.
Be gentle: Avoid picking, squeezing, or popping your spots. This can lead to increased inflammation, scarring, and a risk of infection.
Don't Start New Treatments: Resist the temptation to try new over-the-counter products just before your visit. This can make it difficult for your dermatologist to determine what's working and what's causing irritation.
Don't Over-Cleanse: Washing your face too often can strip away natural oils, which can lead to your skin producing even more oil. Stick to washing your face twice a day—once in the morning and once at night.

Frequently Asked Questions About Acne
What does private acne treatment involve at Pall Mall Medical?
Private acne treatment at Pall Mall Medical starts with a thorough skin assessment by an expert dermatologist. From this detailed consultation, a personalised treatment plan is created, which may include topical medications, oral treatments, scarring solutions, chemical peels or specialist skincare tailored to your skin type and acne severity.
What causes acne and how is it treated?
Acne happens when oil, dead skin cells and bacteria clog pores, leading to blackheads, pustules and inflammation. Dermatologists treat acne with a combination of topical creams, oral medications and targeted therapies designed to reduce oil production, fight bacteria, and prevent scarring
Can acne treatment help with acne scars?
Yes. Beyond clearing active breakouts, specialist dermatologists can recommend effective acne scarring treatments, such as dermaroller, chemical peels and other procedures that improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of scars.
Do I need a GP referral for private acne treatment?
No referral is needed. You can book direct access to a private dermatology consultation at Pall Mall Medical without going through a GP or NHS referral.
How long does a private acne consultation cost and what does it include?
The acne consultation typically costs £250 and includes an in‑depth skin assessment, full review of symptoms, and a customised long‑term treatment plan designed by your dermatologist.
How soon can I expect results from acne treatment?
Acne improvement timelines vary depending on the severity of your condition and the treatments used. Many patients start noticing changes within weeks of following their personalised plan, though longer treatment may be needed for persistent or more severe acne
