Answer: Thank you for your email enquiry.
Firstly, I would like to invite you for a Dermatology Consultation with our speciality Doctor in dermatology and aesthetics Dr Fatima, during this appointment you can discuss your concerns fully with the Dr and discuss possible treatment options.
A Spot Injection, otherwise known as ‘Cortisone Injection’ or ‘Steroid injection’ is the popular, go-to treatment for eliminating blemishes. They work rapidly to calm inflammation and redness at the source of the problem within 48 hours.
Cystic acne, whether chronic or intermittent, is one of the most frustrating kinds of acne lesions to deal with. It is usually triggered by a surge in hormones such as those which occur during a women’s menstrual cycle.
The skin’s oil glands become hypersensitive to this cascade of hormones and react by overproducing sebum. The result? The oil gland itself becomes enlarged, swollen and hardened with the excess oil. Cysts are most likely to affect your chin and jawline since this area has many oil glands – which means a higher probability of breakouts and blocked pores.
Cortisone is a hormone which works by reducing inflammation and calming the activity of the local immune system. The technical term for this procedure is intralesional corticosteroid injection, and the procedure involves using a very thin needle to inject the steroid in the affected area and they are very fast acting.
The Dermatology costs are as follows:
Consultation: £175.00 (£50 deposit payable upon booking)
Consultation under 18 £120.00 (£50 deposit payable upon booking)
Prices start at £165 and if this treatment is carried out on the day of the consultation then the consultation cost is waived and just the £165 would be payable.
Dr Fatima’s working hours are:
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday’s 9am – 4:30pm
If you have any further questions or would like to book your Consultation, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will be more than happy to help.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Answer: Hello Pocaa
We have extensive experience treating acne, surgical and trauma scars with RF microneedling the results are really amazing. Currently we do not treat keloid scars because treatment can make the scarring worse and I haven't seen good results with steroid injections.
Kind regards
Dr Victoria
