Face Condition

Acne & Scarring

Acne is a skin condition that can present itself as pustules, pimples, blackheads or whiteheads. Acne often occurs due to hormonal changes that may be more aggressive during puberty, pregnancy or menopause.

As well as hormonal changes influencing the condition of the skin, acne can also be aggravated through bacteria that breeds and is transmitted on the outer layers of the dermis. Where bacteria is a concern, a regular cleansing and exfoliating regime can dramatically reduce the appearance of acne that most commonly presents on the face, neck, back and shoulders.

About this condition

Breakouts of acne can also arise from blockages to the pores, as excess oil, sebum and dead skin cells accumulate on the skin’s surface.

Whilst manual extraction through picking or squeezing the affected area brings some immediate relief or satisfaction, it is not recommended as this can cause further damage to the skin through rupturing the skin which may result in scarring.

Where infection is present, picking the skin can cause the infection to be more readily spread by the bacteria being transmitted via the fingertips as debris can easily get trapped under the nails in particular.

Acne scarring is recognisable as an uneven texture to the skin that may resemble craters, dips or take on a ‘rolling’ appearance.

Acne or acne scarring can be an embarrassing condition that is not easily concealed with makeup, which can also lead to further spreading and exacerbating the condition. At Nassif MedSpa, we have a number of treatments available that can help with both acne and acne scarring, through cleaning, exfoliating, extracting and healing the skin.

During your consultation we will assess that cause of your acne and will recommend that correct course of action for you. Some of our preferred treatment programmes may include: facials, peels, medical grade skincare or lasers, for more extreme cases.

I love going here, from the moment you enter you are greeted by lovely friendly staff, you even get a beautiful macaroon and lovely coffee or tea! The staff are knowledgeable, empathetic and want the best results for you. Amanda and Dr Jamie looked after me through every PRP treatments I’ve just had my third one! And both are highly, highly professional and so, so lovely and they really know what they are talking about. I couldn’t recommend Dr Nassif Medical Spa enough and I couldn’t recommend Dr Jamie and Amanda enough. I can’t wait for my next treatments ! Thank you so much guys see you in January ! :D

I had the best experience at NassifMD Medspa UK. The spa itself is beautiful and luxurious and in a great location on the Quays. On arrival I was met by Amanda and immediately I felt relaxed and at ease. My consultation with Dr Jamie was a joy ! His knowledge and experience is vast and nothing was too much trouble when faced with my endless questions and concerns. I was given several options of treatments and between us we decided on a course of action …. The results ? Well I’m absolutely thrilled ! I can’t wait for my next appointment.

I have had many services here and the service is not only impeccable the knowledge Amanda gives is fantastic. The Dr’s and nurses at Dr.Nassif’s medical spa are amazing. My hydrafacial was the best one I’ve ever had. I get PRP and profhilo, also the best. I’ve recently just had nucleofill for my under eyes & with what was left over the Dr noticed I had a slight outbreak of spots and administered the nucleofill there. 1 day post treatment my eyes look much better and my spots have started to clear up! The initiative and attention to detail on top of already an amazing treatment is what makes this clinic the best I’ve ever been too. I won’t go anywhere else. Thanks team for being so amazing! I wouldn’t trust my face with anyone else!

I’ve had 2 courses of Halo laser and my experience with Nassif Medical Spa has been amazing. Special thanks to Amanda who really goes the extra mile when caring for her clients. I’ve felt so supported by her throughout the entire experience from initial consultation through to aftercare and I throughly recommend her and this clinic! Amanda provides the compete package including well informed guidance, effective treatments and thoughtful aftercare. Her holistic approach will help you not only get the results you need but also work to then maintain them afterwards. Thanks again to her and the team! A well deserved 5/5 - I can’t fault them!

My 1st visit to this clinic , first impressions - such a beautiful well run , professional atmosphere. Amanda and staff helped put me at my ease and explained everything before my treatment. This included previous clients photos of before and after treatments and a thorough discussion of my needs, which put me at ease. My rosacea is much improved already after treatment and I look forward to my return for follow up and a second treatment.
