If you’re struggling with breakouts, I completely understand how frustrating it can feel. Acne isn’t just a skin issue - it can affect your confidence, your mood, and even how you show up day to day. Over the years, I’ve helped so many clients with acne treatments across Northampton who’ve felt exactly the same way, and I want you to know that there are solutions that really work.
Understanding Acne & Why It Persists
Acne is rarely just “surface.”
Under the skin, there’s often a mix of excess oil (sebum), clogged pores, bacteria, inflammation, and sometimes leftover pigmentation or texture from healed blemishes. Over the counter cleansers and creams can help, but when acne is persistent or recurring, deeper interventions are often needed.
That’s where targeted in-clinic treatments come in. They reach beneath surface layers to purify, balance, and support repair mechanisms.
Acne Lift®: The Targeted Acid Peel for Breakouts
The Acne Lift is one of our go to treatments for active, break out prone skin. Here’s why it works:
It’s a concentrated peel combining alpha and beta hydroxy acids (AHAs/BHAs) plus plant stem cells.
The combination helps exfoliate dead skin, unclog pores, control oil production, and reduce post acne dark marks.
It’s designed for skin that’s acne prone or oily, and can even help with mild back acne.
Downtime & Results
Mild peeling (a few days) that’s manageable, not extreme.
Some redness or sensitivity while skin adjusts.
Over time, you should notice fewer active breakouts, reduced oiliness, and fading of dark marks.
Ideal For
Those with active breakouts, blackheads, oily skin
Clients who want a strong, targeted treatment
Those willing to commit to a course (peels work best in multiple sessions)
Pro tip: We always begin with a skin consultation so we can gauge your skin’s strength and sensitivity, then tailor the peel strength accordingly.
We usually recommend a course of 4 to 6 treatments, depending on your skin’s condition and response. We always start with a gentler version of the peel to allow your skin to adjust before gradually increasing the strength over time — this helps avoid irritation and ensures long-term results.
Bespoke Luxury 90 Min Facial: Deep, Customised Skin Care
Sometimes, your skin needs more than just a peel. That’s when we bring in the Bespoke Luxury 90 Min Facial, a deeply personalised facial that addresses complex skin concerns, including acne, but with a relaxing, full experience.
Why It’s Powerful for Acne
Every facial is customised: double cleansing, exfoliation, targeted masks, serums selected for your skin’s current state.
It may include LED therapy, steam, and massage enhancements to support skin health.
There’s no downtime - this is a nourishing, restorative session that complements stronger treatments.
When to Choose This
If you’re beginning your acne journey, or after finishing a more intensive treatment
When your skin feels congested, dull, or needs resetting
For those who love combining results and self-care
Hydrofacial: Purify + Glow in One
This is one of the most talked about facials, often called the “red carpet facial”, and for acne prone skin, it’s a dream blend of big results and gentleness.
What It Does
Starts with hydro facial steps: cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration.
Then layers in LED light therapy (blue/red) to combat acne-causing bacteria and calm inflammation.
It addresses more than just acne, it also improves tone, texture, brightness.
Advantages for Acne Skin
No downtime; gentle but effective
Safe for regular use (monthly, or as your skin needs)
Works on skin stress, redness, post-acne marks, and active breakouts
How We Choose The Right Route (Or Combine Treatments)
Because no two people’s skin is the same, we don’t treat them the same! Here’s how we guide you:
Consultation & Skin Diagnostic
We’ll review your skin history, sensitivity, lifestyle, current routine, and goals.
Plan a Course & Transition
Many clients move from one treatment to another. For instance:
Begin with a series of Acne Lift® to reduce breakouts
Then shift to maintenance using Hydrofacial or the Bespoke Facial
Occasionally return to a peel “reset” if needed
Support with Bespoke Skincare
In between treatments, we’ll arm you with skin care specific to acne prone skin to support results and protect barrier health.
Acne Treatment Tips (Between Clinic Visits)
Use a gentle cleanser (avoid harsh scrubs)
Keep hands off your face
Use non-comedogenic moisturisers
Sunscreen is essential always, but especially after peels
Don’t overdo actives (e.g. strong acids) at home
Stay consistent with skincare and treatment appointments
