Self London is an expert-led dermatology, laser and lifestyle clinic that solves skin challenges and looks beyond them to see the full picture. We bring together consultants in skin, mental health, nutrition and fitness to get you back to feeling good and inspiring skin confidence.
We specialise in acne and acne scarring but have expertise across all skin conditions. The clinic embraces a personalised approach. Founded by leading Consultant Dermatologist, Dr Anjali Mahto, many of us have been on the same journey as you – we are here to listen and to empower you to feel healthy and happy.
Self London is currently the only UK Consultant Dermatologist owned and led service offering end-to-end acne management, from treatment of active disease, to closing the loop with scar management and long-term maintenance. We provide a comprehensive range of options to our patients, backed by vast amounts of experience, to deliver results. This includes brand-agnostic skincare advice, chemical peels and a variety of lasers to treat active acne (AviClear, BBL, 1064 Nd:YAG), together with prescription topical agents, “specials” which we can formulate, and oral prescription medications which only a Consultant Dermatologist is able to prescribe.
We are proud to be the first Consultant Dermatologist-led clinic in Europe to have the AviClear laser. The AviClear’s innovative 1726nm wavelength laser specifically targets the sebaceous (oil-producing) glands in the skin, treating acne at its source. It is safe, effective and drug-free, giving our patients more choice in how they wish to manage their acne. It is suitable for all skin types, produces lasting results, and can be carried out at any time of year. There is no downtime, and side-effects are mild and transient (redness and swelling), lasting only a few hours for most people. It is a game-changing piece of technology and redefines what is possible without a prescription. It can effectively be combined by a Consultant Dermatologist with other methods to bring acne under control across multiple body sites if necessary.
The Self London team also has in-house expertise to manage pigmentation, redness or scarring left behind once we have your acne under control. We have a comprehensive suite of light- and laser-based devices, including BBL/IPL, Nd:YAG, HALO, and fractional and fully ablative lasers, which work alongside other methods such as filler, subcision, surgery, TCA CROSS, microneedling, and medium-depth peels. We believe in fostering long-term relationships with our patients and all our care is Consultant-led throughout the entire patient journey.
We recognise that treating skin is more than simply getting it to look good; it is also about feeling good, and we are here to inspire confidence in your skin. We recognise the importance of good mental health, diet and also screening for underlying medical conditions or hormonal issues which may be contributing to your acne. Self London believes in giving you the self-confidence and empowerment you deserve.
I have been treated by Dr Mahto for 4 months now for adult acne and the results so far have been fantastic. It took me a long time to find a doctor who seemed to understand my issue and treat my acne seriously.
