HealthCare Service
Acne Skin Clinic, Solihull
At ST Mary’s Pharmacy, we offer a private acne service to support clearer skin with a personalised approach. Acne can affect the face, chest and back and may impact confidence, so getting the right plan early can make a real difference. Our clinician team will review your skin concerns and recommend suitable treatment options based on your needs and medical history
Introduction to Acne Treatment
Acne is a common inflammatory skin condition that happens when hair follicles become blocked with dead skin cells and sebum. Bacteria can also build up in the follicle, leading to spots, pimples and sometimes deeper painful breakouts.
Benefits of Treating Acne Early
Treating acne properly can help reduce active breakouts, improve skin texture and lower the risk of marks and scarring over time. It can also help you feel more confident by giving you a clear routine that is tailored to your skin.
Acne Treatments at St-Mary’s Pharmacy
We may recommend topical options such as gels or creams, or tablet treatments when appropriate, sometimes in combination. Your clinician will consider what you have tried before, how sensitive your skin is and the type and severity of your acne before recommending the best next step.
What to Expect During Your Acne Session
HealthCare Service
Acne Skin Clinic
You will complete a short assessment about your skin and health and you may be asked for photos so we can understand your acne type and severity. A clinician will review your information and, if appropriate, recommend a treatment plan with clear instructions on how to use it and what results to expect. Some treatments can cause temporary dryness or irritation in the first few weeks, so we will explain how to support your skin while it adjusts.
Price varies depending on the recommended treatment plan and follow-up needs.

Is Acne Treatment Safe?
Acne treatment is safe when it is chosen appropriately for your skin and health profile. We review suitability carefully and will advise you if a treatment is not suitable or if you would be better supported by your GP or a specialist.
