Acne Treatment Nottingham: Personalised, Professional Care for Clearer Skin
Personalised, Professional Care for Clearer Skin
Struggling with breakouts, acne scars, or ongoing inflammation can knock your confidence — which is why our acne treatment service in Nottingham focuses on personalised, practitioner-led care rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. At our boutique clinic in the Lace Market, we help you treat acne safely and effectively using advanced, evidence-based skin treatments designed to improve clarity, reduce inflammation and support long-term skin health.
Why Acne Happens — And Why It Needs the Right Treatment
Acne is a common skin condition, and while it affects everyone differently, it often develops when pores become blocked with dead skin cells, excess sebum from the sebaceous glands, or when bacteria trigger inflammation within the skin. Hormonal changes, stress, genetics and even certain skincare products can all contribute, which is why acne rarely has one single cause.
Active acne can appear as blackheads, whiteheads, surface-level breakouts or deeper, more severe cysts. If left untreated, inflammation can damage the skin's structure over time, leading to visible acne scars, including rolling scars and boxcar scars. While acne scarring is common, it can be distressing, and many people worry whether acne scars are permanent. With the right approach, scars can be significantly improved.
Because everyone’s skin type, symptoms, and triggers are different, choosing the right acne treatment is essential. Proper treatment helps reduce acne, calm redness, protect the skin barrier, and prevent long-term scarring — supporting a clearer, smoother appearance over time.
Our Acne Treatment Options in Nottingham
At Lace Market Aesthetics, we use effective, practitioner-led acne treatment options designed to improve active acne, reduce inflammation and target both new and established acne scarring. Your treatment plan is shaped around your skin type, skin concerns and desired results — ensuring every approach supports healthy, long-term skin improvement.
PRP Therapy
LED Blue Light
Microneedling for Acne Scarring & Uneven Texture
Microneedling is one of the most effective treatments for improving acne scars, including rolling scars, boxcar scars and uneven skin. By creating controlled micro-channels in the skin, it stimulates natural collagen production, helping to remodel scar tissue and refine enlarged pores.
It also supports overall skin renewal, improving the appearance of scarring, pigmentation and texture irregularities over time.
This treatment is ideal if you want to soften established scarring, smooth uneven skin, and enhance skin firmness with minimal downtime.
PRP Therapy for Skin Healing & Inflammation
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) uses a concentrated sample of your own plasma, rich in growth factors that support the immune system, skin repair and overall healing.
It reduces inflammation, supports collagen and improves the appearance of scarring, making it a popular option for stubborn or long-term acne marks.
PRP can be used alone or combined with microneedling for enhanced results, depending on your treatment plan.
LED Blue Light Therapy for Active Acne
LED blue light therapy is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that targets bacteria within the skin — one of the leading causes of active acne.
It helps calm redness, reduce inflammation and regulate oily areas, making it especially effective for breakouts triggered by hormonal fluctuations or congested pores.
LED therapy is also suitable for mild to moderate acne and can be used between other treatments to maintain clarity.
Your Personalised Acne Treatment Plan
Every skin journey at Lace Market Aesthetics begins with understanding your skin — your triggers, symptoms, goals and the type of skin condition you're experiencing. Because acne varies from mild to severe, and because different skin types respond differently to treatment, we create a plan tailored specifically for you.
Initial Consultation
Your initial consultation is conducted by a qualified practitioner specialising in acne and acne scarring treatments.
During this appointment, we:
Assess your skin type, active acne, scarring, redness and sensitivity
Discuss potential triggers such as hormones, stress, lifestyle or medication
Review current routines, including any creams, antibiotics or over-the-counter products
Identify whether your acne is inflammatory, hormonal or congestion-related
Plan safe treatment options if you are pregnant or experiencing hormone-related changes
This ensures every step is evidence-based, safe and aligned with your skin's needs.
Your Bespoke Treatment Plan
Once we understand your skin concerns, we create a bespoke treatment plan to gradually and safely improve your skin. This may include:
Treatments targeting acne scars, including rolling scars and boxcar scars
Support for active acne, congestion and blocked pores
Combination treatments such as microneedling with PRP
Chemical peels to clarify skin and reduce breakouts
Blue light therapy to calm inflammation and reduce bacteria
Guidance on your skincare routine, active ingredients and how to protect your skin
Nutrient support, including gentle introduction of vitamin C where suitable
Your plan reflects your goals — whether it's reducing breakouts, softening scarring, controlling oily skin, improving appearance, or achieving smoother, healthier skin overall.
Follow-Up Appointment
A follow-up appointment allows us to monitor improvements, adjust your treatment schedule and ensure your skin continues to respond well.
We take this opportunity to refine your plan, review symptoms, and maintain progress — giving you structured, long-term support rather than short-term fixes.
Transforming Acne & Acne Scarring with Safe, Expert Care
Effective acne treatment isn't just about reducing breakouts — it's about supporting the skin so it can heal, rebuild and stay healthier in the long term. At Lace Market Aesthetics, every treatment is delivered with precision and care to improve both acne and scarring, calm inflammation and refine overall appearance.
Our advanced, non-surgical treatments help treat active acne, reduce redness and restore balance to the skin while safely improving acne scars, including rolling scars and boxcar scars. By stimulating collagen, reducing bacteria, managing excess oil and repairing damaged tissue, we help your skin achieve meaningful, visible improvements without harsh or aggressive methods.
Whether you want clearer skin, softer scarring or a more even complexion, we focus on results that feel natural and healthy — not overtreated. Our clinic is designed to be calm, discreet and welcoming, with on-site parking to make your visit easier.

How much does it cost to get acne treatment?
The cost of acne treatment depends on the type of treatment, the severity of your skin condition, and the number of sessions required. During your initial consultation, we will assess your skin concerns, discuss suitable treatment options, and provide transparent pricing before any treatment begins. You will always receive a personalised plan based on your needs.
What is the best treatment for acne?
There is no single "best" option for everyone — the most effective treatment depends on your skin type and whether you have active acne, congestion, inflammation, or acne scarring. Options such as microneedling, PRP, chemical peels, blue light therapy and targeted skincare can all help treat acne and improve the appearance of your skin. A practitioner-led consultation ensures the right combination for your goals.
How do you 100% remove acne?
No treatment can guarantee "100% removal" of acne because it is influenced by factors such as hormones, bacteria, lifestyle, genetics and the immune system. However, with the right approach, acne can be significantly improved and long-term scarring reduced. Professional treatments, a tailored skincare routine, and consistent management often deliver transformative, sustainable results.
Can acne be treated by a GP or dermatologist?
Yes — GPs and dermatologists can diagnose acne, prescribe medication (antibiotics or topical creams), and help manage severe cases. Many people choose clinic-based treatments to complement medical care, mainly when focusing on long-term scarring, texture, appearance, or when breakouts persist despite prescription options.
Are acne scars permanent?
Many people worry about whether acne scars are permanent, but most can be significantly improved with the proper treatment. Microneedling, PRP and chemical peels help remodel collagen, soften rolling scars and boxcar scars, and refine uneven skin over time.
