Industry-leading acne treatment and care in the Midlands ⚡️👨🏻‍⚕️👏

Acne is a common yet complex condition.

Our medical team at Midland Skin have extensive experience in treating acne - including hormonal acne, resistant acne, complex acne, maskne, acne that recurs following Isotretinoin courses and acne that is mild but chronic… and often difficult to control.

We also offer treatments for acne scarring, acne which leaves persistent red marks and acne which leaves persistent blemishes.

Your journey with us begin with an Acne Consultation with a Consultant Dermatologist.

Once you have had your first consultation, an individual treatment plan will be provided to you. This will include treatment options that are best suited to your individual type of acne. For some this may involve only a topical skin care product, usually prescription based. For others, alternative treatments may be required.

Further treatments may be added at regular follow-up consultations to get the best possible outcomes.

An assessment of your skin will also help establish if you have folliculitis, fungal acne, rosacea, perioral dermatitis or other overlapping diagnoses that may require a separate line of treatment.

Let’s talk: Bacne 👨🏻‍⚕️⬇️

Bacne (aka back acne) is one of those conditions a HUGE percentage of people experience in their lifetimes… but that no-one talks about 🤐

𝑫𝒊𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘?

✅ 1 in 2 people with facial acne have back and chest acne
✅ You CAN have just back acne without face acne
✅ Back and chest acne can often cause pain, inflammation, scarring & embarrassment
✅ Treatment includes prescription creams, tablets and lasers - including a new product called Trifarotene
✅ Back acne can cause keloid or atrophic scars, hyperpigmentation and redness, which can be treated with laser

If you have acne on your back and / or chest, you’re not alone. There are ways to treat it.

✅ Firstly, make sure you’re keeping your back clean by showering regularly and using a gentle exfoliating scrub to remove any dead skin cells that may be clogging your pores. Also, try to avoid wearing tight-fitting clothes or anything that may irritate the skin.

✅ Another great option is to use a topical treatment specifically designed for acne-prone skin. Look for products containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide which can help to unclog pores and reduce inflammation.

If you are experiencing persistent or severe back acne that is not responding to over-the-counter treatments, it may be time to consider seeing a dermatologist 👨🏻‍⚕️

Here are some specific situations where it’s important to seek professional help:

1️⃣ Your acne is causing scarring or on your back
2️⃣ You have large, painful or deep pimples or cysts on your back
3️⃣ Your back acne is spreading to other areas of your body
4️⃣ You have tried several over-the-counter treatments without success
5️⃣ Your back acne is affecting your self-esteem or mental health

A dermatologist can evaluate your skin and recommend an appropriate treatment plan that may include prescription medications, topical treatments, or in-office procedures such as chemical peels or laser therapy ⚡️

Don’t be afraid to reach out to a dermatologist if you’re struggling with back acne - they can help you achieve clearer, healthier skin 👨🏻‍⚕️🙏

Face to Face Progress: The Rhinophyma Treatment Healing Diaries 👃⚡️👨🏻‍⚕️

What to expect during your recovery - with real, patient-submitted images… snapped immediately post-treatment, all the way up to day 18 🙌

Rhinophyma: What You Need to Know 👃

Rhinophyma is a skin condition that leads to the gradual thickening and distortion of the nose - often linked to advanced rosacea, though not always.

One important myth to bust: Rhinophyma is not caused by alcohol, despite the outdated and damaging stereotype 🚫

The emotional and psychological impact of this condition can be profound.

At Midland Skin, we’ve had the privilege of supporting patients whose self-esteem was so deeply affected that they avoided social situations entirely.

Seeing those same individuals rediscover their confidence post-treatment is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do ✨

✔️ Healing time: Around 2–3 weeks
✔️ Results: Restored facial contours, renewed self-confidence

Take a look at this patients journey through the days and scroll back a couple of posts on the grid to see his before and after result - a powerful reminder of how expert care can truly change lives

Another amazing before and after result following a Rhinophyma laser treatment at Midland Skin ⚡️

Rhinophyma is a condition characterised by progressive thickening and deformation of the nose 👃

It often develops due to chronic inflammation associated with rosacea (but not always) - and, important to note, Rhinophyma is not caused by alcohol consumption, although there is a common misconception about this 🚫

The impact of Rhinophyma on a person’s quality of life can be significant 😞

Midland Skin have had the privilege of treating patients who have experienced such discomfort and self-consciousness that they withdrew from social activities altogether. Witnessing these individuals regain their confidence and return to their normal lives following Rhinophyma treatment is an incredibly gratifying aspect of what we do here 🙏

Treatment details:

⚡️ Early stages - treat inflammation aggressively, plus judicious gentle full field resurfacing

⚡️ Established Rhinophyma - fully ablative laser surgery with the CO2 and Erbium lasers, or high frequency Radiofrequency.

This patient was treated with the Lumenis Ultrapulse & the Sciton Erbium - both are workhorses for resurfacing 💪⚡️💯

✔️ Healing time - 2 to 3 weeks

Mole removal at Midland Skin 👨🏻‍⚕️👇

Do you have moles or lesions on your face that you feel self-conscious about? 🤔

There are many reasons why you might want to have a mole removed. Some common reasons are:

✔️ You do not like how the mole looks
✔️ The mole has grown and has become very obvious and prominent
✔️ The mole is catching and rubbing – for example when you brush your hair, or wear certain jewellery or clothes
✔️ The mole stops you from shaving comfortably
✔️ The mole is in an awkward or sensitive area
✔️The mole keeps getting red and inflamed

How do we remove moles at Midland Skin?

Moles are removed either by shave excision, laser excision or excision with stitches. We are among the few clinics in Birmingham that specialise in both forms of mole removal 👨🏻‍⚕️

Other skin lesions we can remove at Midland Skin:

We offer removal of warts, seborrhoeic keratoses, skin tags, genital skin tags, milia, cysts and lipomas

Can certain foods trigger acne? 👀💭👇

We’re asked this question a lot at Midland Skin - and what better time to talk about it than during AcneAwarenessMonth? 👨🏻‍⚕️👇

The relationship between the foods we eat and acne is complex and not fully understood. Whereby diet may have a role in helping to control acne, it’s fair to say that it is hardly ever possible to fully control acne with dietary changes alone 🚫

It is never a good idea to delay proper medical treatment for acne in the hope that changes in diet may clear the condition

Try to look at your whole eating pattern, and make changes for a sustained period of time rather than chopping and changing single ingredients 🥗🥪🍕

The key principles for eating well for acne are:

✅Ensure the total calorie intake does not exceed the daily requirements
✅Ensure that your calories come from a good balance of carbohydrates, proteins and fats

In addition, try to:

✅Avoid sugary foods – these have a high glycemic index and may stimulate Insulin Like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1), androgens and acne.
✅Avoid processed carbohydrates as these also have a high glycemic index – such as white bread, white rice and white pasta
✅Incorporate dietary fibre, vegetables and legumes – as these have lower glycemic index
✅Avoid large quantities of dairy products – as dairy may aggravate acne in large quantities
✅Avoid large quantities of whey protein supplements
✅Avoid large quantities of saturated fats such as those found in red meats.
✅Choose foods that have higher levels of unsaturated fats such as those found in avocados, nuts and fish

As you can see, a diet for acne is not far different from what is considered to be a healthy balanced diet in general. Keep it simple and something you can adhere to ✔️

Do you experience persistent facial redness or flushing that affects your confidence? You’re not alone - and if it affects your quality of life and impacts your self-esteem, we want you to know that you don’t have to live with it 🙏👨🏻‍⚕️

But there is good news: effective treatments do exist to manage and reduce redness. From tailored skincare plans to advanced laser therapies, Midland Skin’s team of Consultant Dermatologists offer evidence-based solutions to help calm and clear your skin 🙏👨🏻‍⚕️⚡️

At Midland Skin, we specialise in the diagnosis and treatment of facial redness and rosacea. As one of the few centres in the UK offering a comprehensive range of lasers to suit all skin tones, types and concerns; we create personalised plans to support your skin - and your confidence ✨
