Whiteheads

Whiteheads

These tiny, closed bumps form when pores become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Whiteheads can be persistent and annoying, often caused by hormonal fluctuations or excess oil production.

Blackheads

Blackheads

In contrast to whiteheads, blackheads stay open at the surface, allowing trapped oil and dead skin to oxidise and take on a dark hue. Often found on the nose, chin, and forehead, these pesky blemishes can be frustrating for many.

Papules

Papules

Papules are the red, raised bumps of acne that don't have that pesky pus inside. Clogged pores often cause them and can be a bit tender.

Pustules

Pustules

Pustules are the inflamed, red bumps of acne that have a noticeable white or yellow pus-filled center. Pustules can be painful and often appear on the face, back, chest, and shoulders. If left untreated, they can worsen and lead to scarring.

Nodules

Nodules

Nodules are a severe form of acne characterised by large, hard, painful lumps that form beneath the skin's surface. Unlike other types of acne, nodules are not filled with pus and can last for weeks or even months.

Cysts

Cysts

These are deep, painful acne lesions that are filled with pus. They develop when pores become clogged and inflamed, often leading to significant scarring. Unlike other types of acne, cysts usually require medical treatment to manage effectively.

Acne Mechanica

Acne Mechanica

This type of acne is caused by friction and pressure on the skin. It's common in athletes and others who wear tight-fitting gear. The rubbing can irritate the skin and lead to pimples.

Hormonal Acne

Hormonal Acne

Hormonal acne is a type of acne caused by hormone fluctuations. It often appears in adults, especially women, and is characterised by deep, painful cysts. Treatment may involve hormonal therapies.

Types of Acne

Discover the diverse world of acne: from mild breakouts to severe cystic acne!

Treatments for Acne

For acne treatment, Shumailas can offer a wide range of both clinical and aesthetic treatments designed
to target the underlying causes of acne, reduce breakouts, and improve skin texture.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are effective treatments for various skin concerns. The salicylic acid peel targets oil and acne by penetrating deep into pores to reduce blockages and inflammation. In contrast, the glycolic acid peel exfoliates the top layer of the skin, promoting faster cell turnover and helping to reduce acne scars and pigmentation. Jessner's peel combines multiple acids for a more intensive approach, making it suitable for reducing acne scars and active acne lesions.

Laser Treatments

Laser skin resurfacing using Erbium YAG effectively reduces acne scars by removing damaged skin layers and stimulating collagen production. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) targets bacteria and reduces inflammation, making it particularly effective for active acne and post-acne pigmentation. Additionally, blue light therapy specifically kills acne-causing bacteria (P. acnes) and reduces active breakouts without damaging the surrounding skin, providing a gentle yet effective solution for acne management.

Microneedling with Mesotherapy

Microneedling, whether combined with mesotherapy or performed alone, is an effective treatment for improving skin texture and reducing acne scars. Microneedling with mesotherapy enhances healing and stimulates collagen production, delivering additional nutrients to the skin. Meanwhile, microneedling alone creates micro-injuries that stimulate skin repair and collagen formation, further aiding in reducing acne scars. Both approaches promote healthier, more resilient skin.

HydraFacial

The HydraFacial with Acne Treatment Booster is a non-invasive facial designed to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate while targeting acne concerns. Enhanced with salicylic acid, it unclogs pores, reduces oil, and calms inflammation, making it ideal for mild to moderate acne. Enjoy clearer, smoother skin without downtime just remember to avoid heavy makeup and direct sun exposure post-treatment for best results.

Medical-Grade Skincare

Medical-grade skincare offers powerful options for acne treatment. Prescription strength retinoids, such as tretinoin, promote skin cell turnover, effectively reducing acne. Topical antibiotics like clindamycin target acne-causing bacteria and help minimise inflammation. Benzoyl peroxide further reduces bacteria and aids in clearing active acne lesions, while niacinamide helps control oil production, reduces inflammation, and promotes skin healing. Together, these ingredients provide a comprehensive approach to managing and improving acne-prone skin.

LED Light Therapy

LED light therapy offers two effective treatments for acne and its aftermath. Blue LED therapy targets and kills acne-causing bacteria while also reducing inflammation, making it ideal for active breakouts. In contrast, red LED therapy calms skin inflammation and helps diminish post-acne redness, promoting overall skin healing. Together, these therapies provide a holistic approach to improving acne-prone skin and enhancing its appearance.

Exosomes Therapy

Exosome therapy for acne is an advanced treatment that uses regenerative cell derived particles, called exosomes, to repair and rejuvenate skin at the cellular level. Packed with growth factors and anti-inflammatory properties, exosomes help reduce acne by targeting inflammation, accelerating skin healing, and promoting a smoother, clearer complexion. This non-invasive treatment is ideal for those seeking long-term improvement in skin texture and a reduction in breakouts, leaving the skin healthier and more resilient over time.

Oral Medications (to be prescribed by a dermatologist)

Oral medications prescribed by a dermatologist can be crucial for managing more severe or persistent acne. Oral antibiotics are often used to treat cases that do not respond to topical treatments, helping to reduce bacteria and inflammation. For severe acne that remains unresponsive to other therapies, isotretinoin (commonly known as Accutane) is a powerful prescription option that addresses the condition comprehensively, often leading to significant improvement. Together, these medications provide targeted solutions for challenging acne cases.

Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is an effective, non-invasive treatment for acne-prone skin, gently exfoliating to remove dead skin cells and fine hair that can trap oils and bacteria. By creating a smoother surface and allowing better absorption of skincare products, dermaplaning helps to reduce clogged pores and minimise breakouts. Ideal for those with mild acne or acne scars, this treatment leaves the skin feeling refreshed, clear, and radiant with no downtime.

The hyperpigmentation treatment works wonders. I had really bad acne scars and marks, but after this treatment my face was clear from all the blemishes. I would really recommend this treatment to anyone suffering from acne scars/marks. Finally the staff were all really friendly and kind they made sure to answer all questions I had during my treatment journey and even helped me for the post treatment care.

I was a student and I was suffering from a skin condition that was triggered by a wrong treatment in Pakistan. My skin was in a very bad state of pigmentation ,so much that it used to make me depressed and already with so much stress in this country when you move from abroad, it was not helping me. I have contacted many clinics but people were so, cold towards me and nobody really show me any help I have found out Shumaila’s online and I have booked my consultation. I came and see Nazia who were not only informative, but she was very nice kind and polite to me as well. She’s such a nice person. She recommended me the treatment and help me to understand the whole procedure. I was suffering with some financial problems when I called her back she was really accommodating and did not make me feel bad at all. She helped me a lot with the entire procedure and for me a dream coming true to see my face and walking out without even thinking about make up , I have spoken to my mother on video call and she is very happy in this holy month. I can give you lots of prayers Nazia thank you so much for everything.

Marima is extremely knowledgeable and professional, and she took the time to listen to my concerns and understand my skin issues.

HYDRA FACIAL AND FACIAL HAIR LASER TREATMENT …

"I had never undergone any skin treatment before, but since I have PCOS, I decided to try something new for my skin. After researching, I discovered Shumaila's London and was initially hesitant to trust anyone with my skin. However, after my treatment, I am now 100% confident in Shumaila's London. The hydrafacial and laser treatment left my skin feeling amazing! I'm so glad I took the leap and trusted their expertise."

Review about reducing hyper pigmentation

Hii I have a lovely experience with shamulias They guide as per my concern first i booked counselling session where they test my skin what i need to do on my face they have all explained to me on counselling session . My face is full of dark spots and hyperpigmentation . Then, when i visited again they did hydra facial and gave me prep kit which prep my skin for next stage peeing of session was started where staff applied products and within next few days my skin started peeling off . This stage was hard where i face pain and swelling on my face but staff guided me well . Whenever i contact staff regarding this or visit to clinic they always welcome me with whole heart and reply quickly . When this peeling off was done my skim looks so clear and fresh . Majority of spots were gone . They have also given me a appropriate products which i used . This helps me lot To get rid of more hyperpigmentation they have done micro needling which clear my skin and tighten as well . Am still using the products and day by day my skin looks more clear and fair . Overall , my experience at shamulias was very good . Staff was co-ordial , helpful and they guided me well whenever i faced problems like pain , swelling , redness . I will recommend if you are facing problems with acne and especially with hyperpigmentation this is must visit staff will definitely guide you as your concerns . Thanls

I came in with hyperpigmentation

I came in with hyperpigmentation amd acne scaring. I was recommended the Cosmelan treatment by Fajar who was not only extremely kind and answered all my questions, but reassured me that she will always be available should I have any concerns. I am one month post treatment and still undergoing my journey, and the consultants at the Hammersmith branch have been so wonderful. Anytime I had any questions, Fajar was fully on hand and walked me through any questions or concerns I had. My skin is so much better that I haven't seen it like this in years. I am beyond excited to continue this skin journey I am on.
