Cost of Treating Acne

Prescription acne treatments are available on the NHS, and prescriptions are free for certain patients (see NHS.uk for more information). Prescribed oral contraceptives are also free. Prescriptions normally cost £7.10 per item. Over the counter acne treatments and those bought online vary in price, and their efficacy cannot be guaranteed. Laser or light therapy for acne could cost anywhere in the region of £100-£300 per session. A chemical peel would cost around £60-£100 per treatment and you would usually require a course of eight.
