Acne, Dry or Oily Skin

At Epsom Skin Clinics, we rely heavily on in-depth consultation as the first stage of any treatment. Alongside a full medical history, we offer a full skin scan with our state-of-the-art OBSERV 520 system. It uses eight layers of observation that work from deep within the skin to its very surface, revealing information about its texture, pigmentation and structure. Altogether, it means we have the best possible understanding of how to treat your skin concerns.

Acne is caused when hair follicles become blocked with sebum – a substance secreted from your sebaceous glands, which are found near the surface of your skin. Sebum serves a useful purpose, protecting and moisturising the skin, but excess sebum clogs pores, leading to the sore, swollen, red blemishes known as acne. Cleansing the pores allows acne to clear, leaving you with a healthier, clearer complexion.

There are various ways to treat specific skin conditions, as demonstrated by the Dermalux LED therapy treatment – a single device which uses different wavelengths of light to treat varying skin concerns, depending on your skin type. We also use medical grade skincare products and/or skin peels to address the root causes of your skin conditions.

Dry skin is a common condition that affects people of any age. It has numerous causes, including cold or dry weather, sun damage, caustic soaps, and spending too long in the shower/bath. At Epsom Skin Clinic we not only provide you with lifestyle advice and medical grade skincare products to treat dry skin, but we offer treatments such as Profhilo – the ultimate in deep skin hydration.
