Why choose Revessa for acne treatment?

Expert care

Consultant Dermatologist

Your consultation is with a UK-trained Consultant Dermatologist experienced in acne treatment.

Clarity and diagnosis

Understand your diagnosis

A consultant dermatologist can help you to understand the nature of your acne and help you to understand whether there are any other skin issues that you need to address.

Effective treatment

Talk through your options

This service is particularly suitable if you want to discuss the pros and cons of different treatment choices with an expert.

Transparent pricing

Fixed fee: £220

The fee covers your online dermatology consultation and a personalised written plan. Medication and blood tests (if needed) are charged separately.

What we can offer

Topical treatments

Including prescription-strength retinoids, antibiotics, and combination creams to target blackheads, whiteheads, and inflammatory spots.

Oral antibiotics

Courses for moderate to severe acne to reduce inflammation and bacterial overgrowth.

Hormonal therapies

Options such as spironolactone and winlevi for hormonal or adult-onset acne.

Skin care and scarring prevention

Advice on cosmeceuticals, pigmentation control, and steps to prevent or minimise long-term scarring.

What to expect

Your consultant dermatologist will review your history, triggers, previous treatments and skincare routine. You’ll get a clear, staged plan with prescription options and practical routines to follow.

Photo quality matters: well-lit, in-focus images (ideally natural light, no make-up) help ensure accurate advice and treatment.

If the diagnosis is unclear, it may be better to attend for an in-person consultation as examining the skin in person can make assessment easier.

Book Your Consultation How it works

How It Works

1) Book & upload photos

Choose a time and complete our short questionnaire. Clear photos are essential — use good lighting, steady hands, and include close-ups and a wider view.

2) Online consultation

Meet your dermatologist online to discuss symptoms, goals and treatment options. We tailor a plan to you.

3) Treatment & follow-up

Receive your plan in writing and e-prescriptions. Optional blood tests arranged if needed. Isotretinoin requires an in-person appointment and cannot be prescribed online. Follow-up to review progress.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who will I see for my consultation?

Your consultation is with a UK-trained Consultant Dermatologist experienced in acne treatment.

Can you prescribe isotretinoin (Roaccutane)?

No, due to government regulation Isotretinoin can only be started via an in person consultation. However, once started you can attend for follow up appointments with a consultant dermatologist remotely providing that you are tolerating treatment well.

Do I need blood tests?

Not everyone does. For certain medicines (e.g. spironolactone) blood tests are required. Your GP may be willing to perform these blood tests alternatively we can organise blood tests in central London.

How quickly can I start treatment?

Most patients receive a plan and prescription on the day of consultation. Some treatments require baseline blood tests before starting.

Is online suitable if I’m not sure what I have?

Online works well for many patients, but if the diagnosis is unclear it may be preferable to book an in-person consultation as it can be easier to assess the skin in person.

Can you issue NHS prescriptions?

No, unfortunately NHS prescriptions cannot be issued from a private consultation and the pharmacy charges for medication. Costs vary by medicine and are usually higher than the NHS prescription charge.

What is the cost?

The fee for an online acne consultation is £220. Medication, tests and follow-ups are additional.

What types of acne are not suitable?

The most effective treatment for severe nodulocystic acne is isotretinion. If you are seeking this treatment then an online consultation is not suitable.
