Whiteheads
Whiteheads, also known as closed comedones, are a common form of acne that affects many people of all ages. They appear as small, white bumps on the skin that are caused by clogged hair follicles.
Free, about 40 minutes, in London, Birmingham or Manchester. A written plan and the price before you decide.
The clogging happens when excess sebum, dead skin cells, and bacteria get trapped in the follicle, leading to the formation of a whitehead. Whiteheads are typically found on the face, particularly the nose, forehead, and chin. They can also appear on the chest, back, and arms. These unsightly bumps can not only be painful but can also cause self-esteem issues for those affected. At The Clinic Room, we understand the impact whiteheads can have on an individual's confidence and wellbeing. That's why we have a range of treatments designed to help reduce and prevent the appearance of whiteheads. Our team of skin experts are well equipped to help you achieve clear and healthy skin. One of our popular treatments is the Hydrafacial, a deep cleansing and exfoliating treatment that helps to remove impurities and unclog pores. For a more intensive approach, we offer the Ultrasonic Skin Scrubber. This device uses high-frequency sound waves to gently exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and impurities that can contribute to whitehead formation. Finally, we offer Chemical Peels. This treatment uses a combination of acid-based solutions to exfoliate the skin, encouraging the growth of new, healthy skin cells. Chemical peels can be tailored to your individual skin type and concern, making them a highly effective solution for whiteheads. At The Clinic Room, we are dedicated to helping you achieve clear, healthy skin. If you are experiencing whiteheads, don't wait any longer to seek help. Our team of skin experts are here to help and guide you through the best treatment options available.

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.
