Acne Treatment in Haywards Heath

We treat the full range of acne, from blackheads and inflamed spots to deep cystic acne, and we assess and manage scarring as part of the same care rather than sending you elsewhere for it. The earlier severe acne is controlled, the less scarring it leaves.

Every plan starts with an accurate diagnosis of the type and severity of your acne, because that is what decides the right treatment.

The consultant reviews your history and what you have already tried, examines your skin, and sets out a staged plan with a realistic timescale for improvement.

Treatment runs from topical and oral options through to isotretinoin for severe or scarring acne, prescribed and monitored closely by your consultant.

You see a consultant dermatologist from the first appointment, not a GP or nurse. Dr Pallavi Gupta leads on acne and hormonal skin, and our consultants hold Royal College of Physicians and British Association of Dermatologists memberships.

You will find us at Nuffield Health Haywards Heath, Burrell Road (RH16 1UD), with most patients seen within weeks and no referral needed.

We see patients aged 16 and over at Haywards Heath. Younger patients are welcome at our Matlock Road clinic in Brighton, which sees skin patients from age 13.

Acne scarring takes different forms, from shallow rolling and boxcar marks to deeper pitted scars, as well as the red or brown discolouration that lingers after a spot has healed. Each responds to a different approach, which is why assessment matters.

Treating active acne promptly is the single best way to limit scarring, so the earlier severe acne is brought under control, the less correction is needed later.

Mid-Sussex patients can book directly at Haywards Heath. Fees are confirmed upfront. Some insurers no longer cover acne treatment, so many patients self-pay, and costs are always explained first.
