Identify the acne pattern
Assessment considers the location and type of breakouts, how long they have persisted and whether inflammation, blocked pores or recurring flare-ups are present.

Discuss active acne, persistent breakouts and acne-related marks with our London clinical team. Your consultation considers your acne pattern, previous treatment and suitable next steps.
Start with a free online Nurse Consultant conversation about your concern and the next step. An in-clinic assessment may be needed before a diagnosis or treatment plan. Sending an enquiry does not confirm an appointment.

Understanding Your Acne
Active acne and acne scarring are related but different concerns. The first step is to understand the current breakout pattern, contributing factors, previous treatment and whether marks or established scars also need a separate plan.
Request an Acne Consultation
Assessment considers the location and type of breakouts, how long they have persisted and whether inflammation, blocked pores or recurring flare-ups are present.
Bring details of prescribed, over-the-counter and clinic treatments you have tried, including what helped, what irritated the skin and how long each option was used.
A treatment plan is discussed after assessment and may combine home care, clinician-led treatment and follow-up according to your skin and clinical suitability.
Active breakouts, post-acne marks and established acne scars may require different approaches. Scar treatment is considered separately once active acne is appropriately managed.
Treatment suitability, expected appointments, downtime and cost depend on clinical assessment. A free online Nurse Consultant conversation is an initial enquiry, not a free dermatologist examination or a guaranteed diagnosis.
Your plan begins with assessment of active acne, previous treatments, skin sensitivity and scarring risk. Suitable options are discussed after clinical review rather than selected from a generic package.

Discuss your concern with our clinical team and confirm the appropriate assessment route.
Non-surgical options are discussed where clinically appropriate, including suitability and recovery.
Ask the team about current availability and the right appointment for your concern.

These are wider Harley Street Medics services, not a treatment plan for every concern on this page. Assessment determines which approach is suitable; treatment, follow-up and recovery vary with the condition and your skin.

Wart and verruca options include Nd:YAG and surgical CO2 laser where suitable. Your assessment considers the lesion, treatment options, recovery and the possibility of recurrence or scarring.

Cyst assessment considers the size, location and symptoms before removal options are discussed. The clinician explains the procedure, recovery, scarring and recurrence risks.

We assess moles, skin tags and seborrhoeic keratoses before discussing surgical or laser options where appropriate. Suitability and possible scarring are explained before treatment.

Our nail-fungus service includes dual-laser treatment options. Assessment, suitability, the treatment plan and the time needed for nail regrowth are discussed individually.

Discuss melasma, hyperpigmentation, dark spots or uneven skin tone with our team. Assessment helps establish the cause and whether the clinic’s pigmentation 3R programme or another approach is suitable.

Rosacea, thread veins and other vascular concerns are assessed individually. Discuss suitable treatment options for visible redness and vessels, together with ongoing care and potential recurrence.

Keloid options at the clinic include PB Serum enzyme treatment, intralesional injections and laser therapy. Selection depends on assessment, with benefits, risks and recurrence discussed individually.

This official Harley Street Medics procedure short shows one laser-based acne treatment. It is educational only, is not presented as London-specific footage, and does not mean laser is suitable for every case of active acne.

Your questions, explained
No. Current breakouts, post-acne marks and established scars may need different approaches. Your assessment considers each concern separately rather than assuming that a scar treatment is appropriate for active acne.
Note how long the breakouts have been present, where they occur, previous prescribed or over-the-counter treatments and any irritation or response. This information helps guide the clinical discussion.
The Nurse Consultant can discuss your enquiry and explain next steps. This is not a free dermatologist examination or a guaranteed diagnosis. Any subsequent assessment or treatment charges are explained separately.
General questions about the wider London clinic, its other services and arranging appointments. Your own treatment options are decided after assessment.
