Maskne
Maskne, or mask-induced acne, is a common skin issue that has arisen due to the widespread use of masks in recent years. With the prolonged use of masks, the skin is exposed to friction, humidity, and bacteria, leading to a surge in breakouts.

Who is affected by Maskne?
Maskne affects people of all ages and skin types. However, individuals with oily, acne-prone skin and those who use heavy makeup and moisturizers are more susceptible to this condition. How to treat Maskne: Treating Maskne requires a multi-pronged approach that incorporates both skincare and non-surgical treatments. Here are some of the most effective ways to manage Maskne: Medical Grade Skincare: The use of medical-grade skincare products that contain active ingredients like salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and retinoids can help to unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and prevent future breakouts. Lasers: Lasers, such as the Fraxel laser, can help to improve the overall appearance of the skin and reduce the severity of Maskne. Photon Light Therapy: Photon light therapy, also known as LED light therapy, is an effective treatment for Maskne as it helps to kill the bacteria that cause acne and reduce inflammation. Health Assessment: A health assessment can help to identify any deficiencies in the body that may be contributing to the development of Maskne. At The Clinic Room, we offer a range of treatments to help manage Maskne and achieve clearer, healthier-looking skin. Our team of experts are highly trained in delivering non-surgical treatments such as Lasers, Photon Light Therapy and a Health Assessment. With thousands of men and women treated every month, we are dedicated to helping our clients achieve their best possible skin health. So, if you are struggling with Maskne, book a consultation with us today and let us help you get back your healthy, radiant skin.

Questions people ask before booking
Is the consultation really free?
Yes. About 40 minutes, in person, in London, Birmingham or Manchester. You leave with a written plan and the price. No obligation.
How much will it cost?
It depends on what your skin needs. Your figure is written into your plan at the free consultation, before you decide, and there are flexible instalment options with no interest or admin fees.
How many visits, and how long?
A standard course is three to six visits over six to ten weeks. If there is a date you are working to, count back ten weeks and tell us.
Does it hurt?
Most treatments feel like warmth, tingling or a quick sting rather than pain, and numbing cream is used where it helps. The practitioner tells you exactly what to expect for your treatment before you decide, and you can stop at any point.
How many visits will I need?
It depends on the treatment and on your skin. Many plans are three to six visits over six to ten weeks; some single treatments are one visit. Your written plan says the number before you pay for anything.
When will I see a difference, and how long does it last?
Some treatments show a change within days; those that work by building collagen take six to twelve weeks to show fully. How long results last depends on the treatment, your skin and how well it is protected from the sun. The practitioner gives you a realistic timeline rather than a promise.
What is the downtime?
Anything from none to a few days of redness or peeling, depending on the treatment. Each treatment page says what to expect, and the plan is timed around your diary where it matters, for example before an event.
Is it safe for darker skin?
Darker skin has more active pigment cells and marks more easily, so settings and treatments are chosen for your skin type and some are avoided. Tell us your skin type at the consultation and the plan is built around it.
Who should not have it?
Pregnancy, some medications, active infections and certain medical conditions rule some treatments out. The consultation goes through this with you, and if a treatment is not suitable the practitioner says so and suggests what will work instead.
Can I combine treatments?
Often, and the programmes are built that way. The order matters: active acne is calmed before scarring is treated, for example. The practitioner sets the sequence.
