Emma

Emma (30) had briefly suffered from acne when she was a teenager and so was dismayed to find herself plagued again in her late 20’s.

She felt like she had tried everything and after exhausting all the treatment options that her GP could provide; she was even seen at the local hospital by a dermatologist. Sadly, Emma didn’t feel that anyone really understood how badly she had been affected by having acne and nothing suggested by anyone ever made any lasting difference.

“Having acne made me really depressed and my self esteem was so low! Because it was on my face I just wanted to hide. I felt that I looked disgusting and my spots were very very noticeable -this made me self conscious – often people would stare and ask ‘what's happened to your face?’"

“I WISH I HAD KNOWN THAT IT COULD BE SO EASY TO MANAGE MY ACNE. MY SKIN NO LONGER STRESSES ME AND I LOVE CATCHING UP WITH MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS”

Emma actively avoided socialising as much as possible and was actually glad that lockdown gave her an excuse to hide away. Her parents were worried about her but just didn’t know how they could help – until her dad saw an advert for Temple Clinic in the Press & Journal. Initially Emma was sceptical but on seeing the improvement featured in the article, agreed that she had nothing to lose by seeing what they had to offer. 

“The difference in the young lassie’s face was astonishing. I just had to try Temple Clinic for myself”

Emma was impressed by the information she found on the website  – not only were the before and after pictures of the case studies encouraging but she also liked the sound of their holistic approach and so booked a consultation.

“I was surprised by the length of my initial consultation which lasted nearly an hour. I was giving so much information by Dr Sam which she then followed up with an email explaining everything in more detail. She taught me to consider things that I would never of thought would affect my skin (diet, exercise, sleep etc) along with providing helpful advice on what I could do differently.”

Over the next few weeks, Emma noticed a huge change to her skin. She really didn’t find it difficult to change her diet and actually found that paying attention to other lifestyle factors such as sleep, stress management and exercise have made her feel healthier overall.

“The skincare products and treatments provided by Temple are such good value and I now appreciate the importance of using products that are powerful enough to be effective but not so harsh that they damage my skin.

"ALTHOUGH I KNOOW THAT MY SKIN MAY ALWAYS BE PRONE TO GETTING SPOTS, I FEEL SO MUCH MORE CONFIDENT AND OPTIMISTIC ABPUT MY ABILITY TO MANAGE IT"

I have found all the Temple staff to be genuinely knowledgeable, kind and interested in improving my skin. I really look forward to seeing the skin therapist, I feel that she really knows me and my skin!”

When Emma reviewed her pictures with Dr Sam after her most recent course of peels and light therapy she could not believe the difference.

“I had forgotten how bad my skin was before coming to Temple. Although I know that my skin may always be prone to getting spots, I feel so much more confident and optimistic about my ability to manage it. Not only do I get much fewer breakouts, but when I do, they heal up more quickly and with much less scarring”

Emma continues to attend Temple Clinic – having largely brought the acne under control, the focus is now on addressing the residual pigmentation and scarring. She continues to use clinically effective skincare products but is now embarking on a course of microneedling with expected improvement likely to continue over the coming weeks and months

“I wish I had known that it could be so easy to manage my acne. My skin no longer stresses me and I love catching up with my family and friends. They can’t believe the difference in me or that I will actually go out without make-up on. Thank you Temple for transforming my life!”
