TREATING ACNE AND ACNE SCARS. Everything you need to know Acne is one of the most common skin conditions in the UK which affects most people at some point in their lives. Acne affects more than 80% of teenagers as children transition into adolescence and their hormones come under drastic change, affecting the skin in the process. The severity and longevity of the acne condition varies. For many, acne only lasts for a short time during puberty when hormone levels are changing, however for some, the effects of acne last much longer and can bring pain, scarring, and embarrassment.

We use the Intense Pulsed Light system, which acts directly upon the sebaceous glands. Treatment cuts down the number of lesions and considerably reduces the occurrence and severity of inflammation and breakouts. IPL stimulates the fibroblasts in the skin to make more collagen, improving the texture of the skin. It may also have a beneficial effect on its appearance by reducing brown or reddened patches caused by breakouts of acne.
