Expert Acne Treatment in London
Breakouts may start at the surface—but effective acne treatment goes much deeper. At the Institute of Medical Physics, we take a science-led, regenerative approach to acne treatment, addressing the biological causes behind blemishes, inflammation, and scarring. Using a personalised blend of advanced technologies and internal rebalancing, we help restore clear, resilient skin without relying on harsh medications or generic creams.
What Is Acne?
Acne is a common inflammatory skin condition that develops when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. It often appears as blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts—most frequently on the face, back, chest, or shoulders.
For many, acne clears up on its own during the teenage years. However, adult acne can be more stubborn and harder to treat, often influenced by hormonal changes, stress, genetics, skincare products, and lifestyle factors.
While over-the-counter solutions like topical creams, antibiotics, and benzoyl peroxide may provide temporary relief, persistent breakouts can leave behind stubborn scarring and pigmentation that require more advanced interventions.
How Does Acne Treatment Work?
Our acne treatment is rooted in medical diagnostics and built around your unique skin biology. After a detailed consultation and skin analysis, we create a personalised treatment plan using one or more of the following advanced technologies:
Fractional Ablative CO₂ La
This advanced laser treatment resurfaces damaged skin, stimulates collagen production, and reduces inflammation. It works by delivering targeted light energy that destroys acne-causing bacteria, shrinks overactive sebaceous glands in the skin, and reduces visible blood vessels responsible for redness. The treatment encourages skin regeneration from within and helps improve scarring, texture, and tone.
Erbium YAG Laser
This gentle laser resurfacing procedure precisely targets the uppermost layers of skin, helping to correct fine surface irregularities, pigmentation issues, and mild scarring. It accelerates cellular turnover and improves skin clarity and texture without the downtime associated with more aggressive lasers.
BBL (Broadband Light Therapy)
BBL therapy harnesses intense pulsed light to neutralise acne-causing bacteria, reduce inflammation, and restore skin tone. It’s especially effective for calming active breakouts, treating redness, and evening out post-acne pigmentation.
Chemical Peels
Medical-grade peels work to unclog pores, reduce blackheads and whiteheads, and refine uneven skin texture. Depending on your skin’s needs, we may use salicylic, glycolic, mandelic, or lactic acid-based solutions to exfoliate the skin and promote clear, balanced skin from within.
Plasma Fibroblasting
This cutting-edge treatment delivers targeted plasma energy to the skin’s deeper layers, encouraging tissue regeneration and tightening. Ideal for stubborn acne scars, textural irregularities, and loss of firmness, fibroblasting promotes natural healing while improving the appearance of deeper lesions and enhancing skin elasticity over time.
Bioceuticals
Our advanced bioceutical formulations are designed to support skin health from the inside out. These evidence-based compounds work to regulate hormonal triggers, balance oil production, and strengthen the skin’s internal repair systems. They play an important role in long-term acne management, especially for those with hormonally-driven or inflammatory breakouts.
This integrative approach allows us to treat acne and other skin concerns comprehensively—from current lesions to underlying triggers and scarring.
