Acne Treatment
Acne can be effectively treate with intense pulsed light alone or in combination with other clinical treatments. Intense pulsed light treatments greatly reduce the number and severity of active lesions, lessening the inflammation and frequency of the break-outs!
How does the treatment work?
The light emitted from the intese pulsed light system directly targets overactive sebaceous glands, greatly reducing the total number and severity of active lesions, and lessening the inflamation and occurance of break-outs. The light stimulates the production of new collagen to improce skin texture, and can also reduce the appearance of red or brown areas of skin that are often associated with acne break-outs.
Am I suitable for treatment?
Almost everyone can be treated with this treatment, apart from very dark skinned or tanned individuals. If you are pregnant or taking Roaccutane (acne medication) it is best not to undergo laser or intense pulsed light treatment.
What should I expect after Treatment?
Immediately after treatment the skin may appear red and a warm tingling sensation may be felt. Typically the skin is cooled to ease any discomfort and a calming gel is applied to the treated area.
Are there any side effects?
The treated area can become quite red immediately after the treatment but this usually dissapears within a couple of hours. Most people experience no other side effects but a very small blister could form or the skin may become temoprarily lighter or darker.
How long does each treatment take?
Each acne treatment that we provide at Whiteroom Laser Ltd in Plymouth, South Devon, is approximately 30 minutes in length.
How many treatments are necessary?
The number of treatments necessary varies from person to person, but typically 6 treatments will result in a significant improvement.
