Acne without antibiotics
Prepare for your confidence to rise and for your spirits to be uplifted - life with majorly reduced acne and acne related scarring is possible and all without the use of antibiotics.
When your dermal layer is functioning properly, excess hormonal sebum is not produced and dispensed through the skin in the same way. Through the design of a medical grade skincare routine that will not clog your pores, your skin will glow with health once more, leaving you to feel great.
A Word From Dr Irena Daniels:
‘Acne is an aspect of skincare which can really lower someone's self esteem, so to see the transformation in the skin and the patient's confidence is one of my favourite things at SkinID.
Dermatological skin issues can be fixed with the correct solutions to the point where you can come off the drugs and manage it through intelligent skincare treatments.
Radiance may be a word that you've forgotten, however in a relatively short space of time, we can have your skin functioning as it should do again’.
Solutions for your SkinID
Every patient is different so your journey to skin health will begin with a private consultation with either Dr Irena Daniels or one of her highly skilled practitioners. They will assess your SkinID and formulate a treatment place that may embrace one of, or a mix of varying options.
Medical grade skincare ritual
Our aim is to get your skin and dermal layer to function as it should. Topical lotions found in the shops can overwhelm and compromise this.
When you come to the Clinic, we will examine your clean skin on a cellular level and create a skin health journey for you.
By following a prescribed, medical grade skincare routine we reduce sebum production, increase cell turnover and stimulate collagen production to remind your dermal layer how it should be functioning.
This is closely monitored with checkups and we alter the concentration of your prescription over time as your skin adapts and heals.
Medical grade skincare treatments
Listed below are a few of the options that we have at the clinic. Your practitioner will guide you through them and create a skin health plan based on your personal SkinID needs.
We pride ourselves on caring for each of our patients, long past their treatments, so please rest assured that if you ever have any questions, either pop in or send us a photo and we can advise.

To speed up the healing process of your skin, it might be that your clinician advises you to supplement your skincare ritual with a monthly facial and/or chemical peel.
This will serve to fully cleanse the skin, further stimulate the deeper dermal layer to function correctly and heal surface level skin.
An essential part of your facial will be LED light therapy. The blue light is anti-bacterial so it reduces the level of bacteria associated with acne.

If you have depressed acne scars then microneedling could be a powerful option for you to reduce the look of them. It works by utilising hundreds of tiny needles that pierce the skin tissue, to induce skin healing and regeneration through collagen production. Our clinician will minimise the risk of skin tearing, using medical grade solutions to target the exact areas of the dermis that we need to boost the results.
For deeper scars, radiofrequency microneedling may be suggested as more appropriate.

This could be recommended for you, post-acne to break down and heal any scarring of your skin.
This treatment is a more advanced and effective form of microneedling without side effects or downtime. During a normal micro needling treatment a patient will achieve a 1mm to 1.2 mm depth in that area alone. However, radio frequency microneedling works across multiple skin levels in a cross layering effect. We work to a 2.25mm or even 3.5mm depth, using a very fine needle to heal all the layers of your skin.
This treatment is amazing for general skin health and vibrancy, stimulating collagen for plumpness and skin density.
All of these treatments can be combined to optimise the results.
Our clinicians will design a safe and more effective skin health journey for you.

IPL can work well to reduce sebum production and bacterial load. A patient will come for treatments that only take 10/15 minutes and see a dramatic improvement in their skin quality.
-
This works for acne scarring. A patient will normally have three to four treatments, four weeks apart to majorly improve skin appearance and quality.
FAQ's
Does radiofrequency microneedling hurt?
No. We will clean and prepare your skin before treatment, using an anesthetic cream to numb the sensation.This means that all you will feel is a light pressure and slight heat on your skin, with minimal pain.
What is the downtime to radiofrequency microneedling?
The beauty of RF Microneedling is that it does not cause extensive damage to the surface of your skin – the epidermis. There is no bruising. You may find that your skin is slightly pink and hot to touch for 24-48 hours afterwards, however this will quickly lessen. Over the next three months the skin reacts by creating new collagen and elastin.
How many microneedling treatments will I need?
Generally patients can expect to have one treatment every month for a minimum of three months. This causes the collagen to be stimulated enough to see credible results over the 12 weeks. Whether you will need more will be assessed and advised based on your individual SkinID.
What is the downtime for a chemical facial using LED?
Blue LED is an extremely quick and effective treatment with no downtime.
However if you have been advised to have a facial with a chemical peel, your practitioner will advise you of the suspected healing and peeling time, this will vary based on the depth of the peel. Some people may find their skin peels for up to seven days afterwards, so if you have a big event in the diary it's worth mentioning this to your therapist so they book you in with enough time to heal and glow. Your skin will be highly sensitive to sunlight during this period so using your prescribed SPF will be essential. Your therapist will advise you fully on your skincare regime post-treatment to optimise the effects of the treatment and ensure that you look and feel your best.
