Your Care Pathway

An example acne clinic pathway

Under our consultant and specialist dermatology doctors, here is how start-to-finish acne care might look.

1

Enquiry & booking

Contact us about your skin and we will book you with a member of the dermatology team.

2

Consultation & assessment

Your acne is assessed for severity and type, and your history and triggers are discussed.

3

Tailored treatment plan

A plan is agreed — topical, oral, hormonal, Roaccutane, or light-based therapy as appropriate.

4

Treatment & monitoring

Treatment begins with regular reviews to track progress and adjust as needed.

5

Acne-scar treatment

Once active acne is controlled, scar treatments such as laser, polynucleotides or PRP can follow if wanted.

This is an example pathway for illustration. Your individual pathway will be agreed with your clinician at consultation and may vary depending on your diagnosis, treatment and symptom pathway.
