Acne

The majority of patients who are experiencing acne are suitable for at least one of our acne treatments.

We are unfortunately unable to treat patients under the age of 18 for any cosmetic skin treatments in clinic including acne treatment.

Suitability for acne treatment at The Private Clinic will be assessed at your consultation.

Combined treatment is a common way to deal with acne and will often be recommended by our specialist skin practitioners.

Acne can be treated in different ways with some treatments working to unblock your pores with others working to decrease oil production and bacteria in the skin.

Now that you are on the road to clear skin, check out our competitive prices and start your journey today.

N-Lite Acne treatment prices start from £270 for single treatments and £950 for a course of 4 treatments.

Consultations with our expert skin practitioners are £25 however this cost is redeemable against the price of any skin treatment you wish to book following your consultation.

You should start seeing visible improvements after your second N-Lite session with continued improvement over the following three months.

Results after a chemical peel can take two to three weeks but the best results are not seen until you are near the end of a course of treatment. It is worth noting that sometimes after acne treatment your skin may get worse before it gets better.

However patients undergoing acne treatment need to be prepared for the long term management of their acne. The nature of the problem means that things will change according to hormones, stressful events etc. This is something that we cannot control. However our range of treatments can control the outbreaks and keep them to a minimum therefore preventing the long term after effects such as pitted scarring and pigmentation.

Acne outbreaks are common for both males and females between 20-40 years old but it is also not unusual to have patients outside this age range too, especially during hormonal changes caused during menopause. It is a myth that only teenagers suffer from acne and unfortunately some people are just more prone to acne outbreaks than others.

In the majority of cases we will be able to find a treatment that is suitable for the type of acne that you are suffering with. Sometimes you may need to make lifestyle changes to help clear up acne too if we find anything additional to be direct cause. This will all be discussed within your consultation.

Here at The Private Clinic we have treatments to suit all skin types.

N-Lite

The SmartPulse™ laser light is directed at the affected area, targeting the bacteria and stimulating the natural repair mechanism of the skin. By destroying the bacteria, this laser treatment quickly clears the acne – sometimes in just a few sessions. Because the N-Lite laser targets the cause of the acne and not just the symptoms it reduces the risk of new acne developing and also reduces the risk of acne scarring. N-Lite is one of the most effective laser acne treatments available today.

Chemical Peel

Your skin will be cleansed before the chemical peel or enzyme solution is applied to your skin. Different peel types will have different treatment times. Once the time is up a neutraliser will be applied to your face to stop the chemical peel from working before it is removed from the skin. You will then have SPF applied to your face before your leave.

No, N-Lite is a pain-free treatment, though you may feel a slight tingling sensation as the laser light is absorbed by the skin.

Chemical Peels are not painful but you again, may feel a tingling or warmth as they are applied to your skin.

Each N-Lite session lasts 30 minutes.

Chemical Peel treatments take less than half an hour.

The results from a chemical skin peel or enzyme treatment will be long lasting if you continue to have regular courses of treatments every few months. The best results are seen when the recommended cosmeceutical products are applied following your treatment too.

N-lite acne treatment is painless and totally safe as long as it is carried out by skilled and experienced practitioners.

Adverse reactions following a chemical skin peel or enzyme treatment are rare. Chemical peel treatments are only performed by trained and experienced practitioners and all potential side effects will be discussed during your consultation.
