TREATING ACNE AND ACNE SCARS. Everything you need to know Acne is one of the most common skin conditions in the UK which affects most people at some point in their lives. Acne affects more than 80% of teenagers as children transition into adolescence and their hormones come under drastic change, affecting the skin in the process. The severity and longevity of the acne condition varies. For many, acne only lasts for a short time during puberty when hormone levels are changing, however for some, the effects of acne last much longer and can bring pain, scarring, and embarrassment. If you have already tried over the counter remedies and spoken to your pharmacist for advice on acne treatment or acne scar treatment, but your acne is still causing you problems, we can help.

Stretch marks are lines or streaks on the skin, which can be pink, purple or white in colour (depending on their age). They occur where there is a tear in the dermis accompanied by loss of elasticity. Commonly occurring on the stomach, hips, thighs, back and breasts, they are generally associated with rapid changes in weight e.g. in pregnancy, obesity and bodybuilding.

Microneedling is the use of tiny needles to penetrate through the skin to induce a wound healing reaction. This results in hundreds of microchannels created in the skin which increases the delivery of the specialist product and stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin fibres. Stratum Clinics offers a number of different microneedling treatments, such as Dermaroller and SkinPen. If you would like to find out more about individual clinics, please get in touch.
