Here’s what matters most as you consider booking your consultation with us.
How Does Laser Treatment for Acne Work?
Not all laser treatments work the same way. The technology matters.
We use advanced laser systems that target your sebaceous glands directly. These are the glands that produce the excess oil feeding your acne. By addressing oil production and eliminating acne-causing bacteria at the source, we’re not just treating symptoms.
Recent clinical studies show impressive results. The latest 1726 nm laser technology achieves an 87.3% response rate at 26 weeks, with results lasting up to one year. Patients experience an average 70% reduction in inflammatory acne lesions after just four treatments.
This is the kind of technology we bring to our London and Essex locations.
Bottom line: Advanced laser technology targets sebaceous glands at the source, achieving 87.3% response rates and lasting results up to one year.
Does Laser Treatment Work on All Skin Types?
One concern we hear often: “Will this work for my skin?”
The answer is yes. Modern laser treatment works safely and effectively across all skin types, from Fitzpatrick II through VI. This is particularly important because older light-based treatments had limitations for patients with more pigmented skin.
We don’t use a one-size-fits-all approach. During your consultation, we assess your specific skin type, acne severity, and treatment goals. Then we create a plan tailored to you.
Your treatment will be yours alone.
Bottom line: Modern laser treatment works safely on all skin types (Fitzpatrick II-VI) because we customize every treatment plan to your specific skin type and acne severity.
