Acne Treatment in Hitchin
When breakouts just won’t stop — at any age
Acne isn’t only a teenage problem; plenty of the adults who come to us from Hitchin have battled breakouts for years, cycling through products that work for a fortnight then stop. It’s exhausting, it affects confidence, and it rarely clears with shop-bought skincare alone — because that only treats the surface, not the congestion and renewal problems underneath.

Why acne is so persistent
Breakouts are driven by blocked pores, excess oil and bacteria, often made worse by hormones and an out-of-rhythm renewal cycle. Lasting improvement usually needs a professional, consistent approach rather than a single product — and a plan tailored to your skin.
Easy to reach from Hitchin
A 10–15 minute drive north up the A600, with easy parking and a calm, private setting.
How we treat acne at Shamrock Clinic
After assessing your skin, Ann Gibbons may recommend a combination of:
- A chemical peel (such as the AcneMed peel) to unclog pores, reduce oil and calm breakouts
- Microneedling to improve marks and scarring left behind
- Dermalux LED light therapy to reduce acne-causing bacteria and inflammation
- A course of bespoke facials plus home-care guidance to maintain results
Ann’s honest, healthcare-led approach means she’ll recommend only what will genuinely help — and refer you on if your acne needs a GP or dermatologist.
