At Skin Architect, our doctors and skin therapists use a combination of prescription-strength skincare and targeted in-clinic treatments to effectively manage mild to moderate acne. Treatment options may include deep exfoliating facials with blackhead extraction, chemical exfoliation peels and other medical-grade approaches designed to clear congestion and improve overall skin health.
There are several types of acne, and understanding the severity of your breakouts is essential for creating an effective treatment plan. Acne can be mild, moderate or severe, depending on the number of blemishes, the level of inflammation and whether cysts are present.
Mild acne usually consists of a small number of pimples and blackheads, with little risk of scarring.
Moderate acne often includes more noticeable inflammation, papules and an increased chance of developing marks or scars.
Severe acne may involve cysts or deeper abscesses, which can be painful and more likely to cause long-term scarring.
At Skin Architect, we treat mild and moderate acne by combining prescription-strength skincare with targeted in-clinic treatments. These may include deep exfoliating facials with blackhead extraction and professional chemical exfoliation treatments designed to improve skin clarity and reduce breakouts.
Blackheads form when pores become blocked with excess oil, dead skin cells or debris. Although anyone can develop blackheads, they are most common in people with oily or acne-prone skin. Enlarged pores also increase the likelihood of blackheads because they naturally collect more oil and environmental impurities.
Factors that can contribute to blackheads include:
Best treatment for blackheads and occasional breakouts
A deep exfoliation and blackhead extraction facial is ideal for removing congestion and preventing new blackheads from forming. Prices start from £65.
Best treatment for mild acne
A personalised prescription skincare routine combined with regular deep exfoliating facials can help control breakouts and improve overall skin texture. Facials from £65.
Best treatment for moderate acne
A tailored prescription skincare programme alongside a course of chemical resurfacing peels can help reduce inflammation, prevent future breakouts and improve the appearance of marks left by previous acne.
Preventing future breakouts
Medical-grade skincare is essential for ongoing management. Your practitioner will recommend the most suitable routine following a consultation with our medical team.
Skin Architect is well known for providing effective acne treatments across Bradford and the wider Yorkshire area. Our acne treatment services are available at our Bradford clinic, where we offer a range of options to help manage mild to moderate acne, including our popular deep exfoliating acne facial and other advanced in-clinic treatments.
The most effective approach for treating mild to moderate acne usually involves a combination of medical-grade skincare and targeted in-clinic treatments. These professional treatments can help reduce inflammation, clear congestion and improve overall skin texture while skincare supports long-term prevention and control of future breakouts.
Back acne is often best treated with a combination approach. Topical prescription-based skincare can help clear congestion and reduce inflammation, while professional in-clinic exfoliating or resurfacing treatments to the back can further improve skin texture and reduce breakouts. In some cases, oral medication may also be recommended to help bring more persistent back acne under control.
