Medical Precision — Lasting Results — Excellence on Harley Street
Acne is one of the most common — and most mismanaged — skin conditions. Whether you are experiencing active breakouts, post-acne scarring, or persistent congestion, a precise clinical diagnosis is the only reliable starting point for lasting clearance.
Acne develops when hair follicles become blocked with sebum, dead skin cells, and bacteria — triggering inflammation that ranges from surface-level blackheads to deep, painful cysts. Hormonal shifts, diet, stress, and an impaired skin barrier can all drive or worsen breakouts.
At PHP Aesthetic-Wellness, every acne patient begins with a thorough skin analysis by Dr Philippe Hamida-Pisal or Dr Jihyun Byun. We assess your acne grade, skin tone, history, and triggers before combining the most appropriate clinical modalities into a single, personalised treatment plan — in-clinic procedures alongside a precisely prescribed home routine.
Understanding Your Acne
Not all breakouts respond to the same approach. Identifying the type accurately directs which treatments will work.
“A correct diagnosis changes everything — the same breakout on two different skins may call for entirely different protocols. That is why we never prescribe without understanding the full picture first.” PHP Aesthetic-Wellness, 22 Harley Street
Our Acne Treatments
We use a combination of clinically proven modalities, chosen and sequenced to your specific acne grade, skin tone, and lifestyle.
Microneedling
Ultra-fine needles create controlled micro-channels in the dermis, stimulating your skin’s own collagen and elastin production. The most effective in-clinic approach for remodelling acne scars, refining pitted texture, and improving overall skin quality.
Chemical Peel
Medical-grade acids exfoliate the outer skin layers at a depth impossible to achieve at home — dissolving congestion, fading post-acne pigmentation, and accelerating cell turnover to reveal clearer, more even skin beneath.
LED Therapy
Specific wavelengths of light penetrate the skin to destroy acne-causing bacteria, reduce active inflammation, and support tissue repair — completely painless, with no downtime. Blue light targets bacteria; red light calms and heals.
Medical Creams
Prescription-grade topicals — retinoids, azelaic acid, benzoyl peroxide, topical antibiotics — prescribed precisely to your skin type and adjusted as your skin responds. The cornerstone of any lasting acne management plan.
Your Journey to Clear Skin
Every treatment plan at PHP Aesthetic-Wellness follows the same principle: understand first, treat second.
Skin Analysis
A detailed assessment of your acne grade, skin tone, barrier health, lifestyle triggers, and treatment history with Dr Hamida-Pisal or Dr Byun.
Personalised Plan
A combined protocol is designed — pairing the most appropriate in-clinic procedures with a daily prescription routine specific to your skin.
Active Treatment
In-clinic sessions every two to four weeks, monitored at each visit. Adjustments are made as your skin responds and clears.
Long-Term Maintenance
Quarterly check-ins and a refined home routine keep your skin clear and prevent future breakouts from taking hold.
