Acne is a common skin condition that affects people of all ages, not just teenagers. It occurs when hair follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin cells, leading to whiteheads, blackheads, and inflamed spots. Acne can appear on the face, chest, back and shoulders and may range from mild to severe. If left untreated, it can lead to scarring or pigmentation changes.

What our clients think
Lovely experience . Dr abood was very kind and reassured me well before the procedure
The Day Clinic staff and Dr Abood were exceptional. Greeted with a smile, offered a drink while I waited for my appointment, on time and procedures explained with detail, super friendly. I went ahead on the day, having two moles removed. Aftercare explained and off I went. I wish I had it done sooner. Highly recommend
Thanks Dr Abood!

Dr Abood and his team were recommended to me for his seamless minimal scaring small operations. I had a small op to remove a lump in a visible area. The operation was very seamless, quick and low fuss. Free parking, easy to find, and the team were extremely friendly and attentive. They made a real effort to squeeze me in in a short time frame which I really appreciated, and sent me away with an after care plan. The actual wound was extremely tidy and I felt the operation was extremely thorough and professional. I had an appointment to view and operate on the same day but I also know that if I had wanted to postpone the operation to have time to process what he had told me, they would have done so, and made every effort to make me comfortable moving forward.
Although I'm still to see the final healed result I would thoroughly recommend the day Clinic for small ops like mine.

No problems, would recommend. Operation was quick and painless. Recovery is not too sore.
So terrific to be seen and treated quickly. I had 100% confidence in Dr Abood, both in terms of his professionalism and his communications to me as a patient.
lovely clean professional treatment, care and information easy to understand and looked after very well
Very pleased with my experience at The Day Clinic. The staff are all exceptionally kind and helpful, and the surgery went smoothly.

Do I need a referral to book an acne consultation?
No referral is needed. You can book directly with us online by submitting your details on our contact form or by contacting our reception team. Our private dermatology service makes it easy to access expert advice quickly.
What happens during an acne consultation?
During your appointment, one of our experienced dermatologists will assess your skin, discuss your medical history and your concerns. You’ll receive a tailored treatment plan, which may include prescription medication and skincare recommendations.
Can adults get acne too?
Yes, adult acne is very common, particularly in women due to hormonal changes. Our treatments are suitable for adults and tailored to individual circumstances and skin types.
Will I be prescribed medication?
Treatment varies depending on the severity and cause of your acne. This may include topical creams, antibiotics, hormonal treatments, or lifestyle recommendations. Your dermatologist will recommend the most appropriate treatment plan for your needs.
How quickly will I see results?
Most treatments take a few weeks to show noticeable improvement. We’ll discuss realistic timelines during your consultation and schedule follow-ups as needed to monitor your progress.
