Acne Awareness Month 2026

June is Acne Awareness Month, a time to breaking the stigma surrounding and helping people understand their treatment options.
At Thames Skin Clinic in Twickenham, a doctor-led acne clinic in London, we specialise in acne treatment in London for teenagers and adults, using innovative treatments like AviClear acne laser and ZO Skin Health programmes.
What Is Acne Awareness Month?
Acne Awareness Month is an annual campaign held every June to raise awareness and encourage conversations around this extremely common skin condition. Most people experience some form of acne during their lifetime, and many adults still deal with breakouts well past their years. Acne affects 9.4% of the global population and is considered the 8th most prevalent disease globally.
The message this June is simple. Acne is treatable, and you do not have to manage it alone.
. Because it’s multifactorial, it often requires a combination-based treatment plan.
Thames Skin Clinic provides doctor-led, including Twickenham, Richmond, Kingston, Wimbledon, and Chiswick. Our award-winning clinic specialises in acne and rosacea treatments and is led by, a nationally recognised medical doctor and former GP to Buckingham Palace.
Dr. Hemming has been recognised by the medical aesthetics industry for her clinical excellence, winning Medical Aesthetic Practitioner of the Year at the 2026 Aesthetics Awards and the 2025 Aesthetic Medicine Awards. In 2024, she was honoured with the Cutera Lifetime Achievement Award for her life-changing results in treating acne and scarring.
We treat the root causes of congestion, hormonal acne, and acne scarring using the innovative AviClear 1726nm laser and prescription-grade ZO Skin Health programmes. As a CQC-registered clinic, we prioritise safety and transparency with our .
For every acne patient, our treatment approach is guided by the. It keeps your care structured, safe and to you.
Acne treatment is a process that requires consistency. Most patients see the best results over a 6 to 8-month journey. If you’ve struggled with persistent breakouts, hormonal acne or scarring, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
At Thames Skin Clinic, we are proud to offer. It is the world’s first 1726nm laser developed specifically to treat acne at its source.
Many acne treatments rely on pills or topical creams. AviClear works differently. It and suppresses the sebaceous glands to regulate oil production. It is FDA-cleared for mild to severe inflammatory acne, and it is safe for all skin tones.
For patients who already have marks left behind, we also treat as part of a complete plan.
Dr Hemming is an international speaker and a key opinion leader for Cutera and ZO Skin Health, which we often use in combination for acne treatment for our patients. Thames Skin Clinic is also an ambassador. Her work has been featured by Vanity Fair, Tatler, Hello, the Daily Mail and Sky News.
At Thames Skin Clinic, we routinely treat
As a CQC-registered, doctor-led clinic in Twickenham, we use advanced and evidence-based treatments and products:
Acne is not limited to the teenage years. Many adults develop it for the first time in their twenties, thirties and beyond. Hormonal changes, stress and later in life, and our medical team treats teenagers and adults alike.
AviClear is safe for all skin tones. It works by targeting the sebaceous glands rather than the surface pigment, so it suits a wide range of patients with mild to severe inflammatory acne.
A doctor-led clinic, such as Thames Skin Clinic, assesses acne as a medical condition, not just a cosmetic one. Treatments are designed and overseen by qualified medical and use evidence-based methods and prescription-grade products. They are also delivered in a setting where patient safety comes first.
