Pros:Great results
Cons:No problem
Bottom Line:I had N-Lite laser treatment for Acne at The Private Clinic in London. My acne is not longer there and the results are quite incredible. My advise is to listen the recommendation of the Clinic staff and be realistic as things improve after you get worse. A special thank you to the nurse who was very attentive and very professional.

Pros:YET TO SEE ANY. I was treated with the Nlite 10 days ago. It was 1st treatment and it has made my skin worse. Yet to see any inprovement
Cons:Makes skin worse initially. If you are very concerned about an initial flare up this treatment may not be for you.
Bottom Line:I have tried the majority of topical treatments, antibiotics and nlite.Personally i think minocycline antibiotics have the best effect. In combination with benzoyl peroxide antibiotics work great. They take about 4-6 weeks to take effect but i think they are better than nlite. You just have to take them correctly, when your skin clears come of them gradually or else spots will come back. All this means - ANTIBIOTICS INSTEAD OF NLITE.
Recommended:No

Pros:My skin felt and looked better for a while.
I had breakouts after N-lite, but they went away faster, they sort of dried up. Plus the pimples and papules were much smaller.
At least it didn't make my skin worse.
Cons:The results were quite good, but they didn't last as long as I was promised (6 months or longer) - my skin stayed quite clear only about two weeks and then I started having breakouts again after every treatment.
Bottom Line:Altogether I took three treatments, because that's what the staff recommended. After the third treatment they wanted me to have another one. I'm still wondering what to do. I'm not sure if N-Lite is the best option, if you think about how much it costs and the poor results that you get from spending so much money. At times the clinic staff seemed to only care about money and they knew how desperate I was. After the first appointment they promised that next time will be cheaper, but they lied. I could not refuse to pay, because I had had the treatment done already and I was too nervous to say anything. But maybe I should take the fourth treatment to see if the results would last, before saying N-lite is all lies. Yet another BUT, when I first mett the staff "the magic word" was three. They promised that after three treatments my skin will be clear but now the number has changed to four and I bett after that it will be five and so on...

Pros:dried out some of my acne.
Cons:assistant who performed treatment was not that helpful and attentive. I went to Private Clinic, Harley Street
Bottom Line:I've had one treatment and am going back for a second this week. I did get an initial breakout which is still on my face. My neck has a lot of flaky dry skin on it now. I was shocked after my first visit when I was told I had to buy £90 worth of skincare products to compliment the treatment. I wasn't told this on my initial consultation. The assistant was not very attentive and did not pass the n-lite laser behind my lower ear and neck. (this is where my acne is particularly bad). I was too nervous to say anything, but I will this time! I will write another review after my next treatment. I'm putting down that I don't recommend it, as I am not as yet satisfied with the service or the results. This may change after the next treatment and the third and final one.

Bottom Line:I can only give a very positive recommandation. N-Lite has made a huge difference and reduced my acne quite incredibly. It very much depends on the person and the type of acne (as with everything). Althought it did get worse at first (as they told me) just keep going for treatments - it will get better and better after a few treatments. I am very happy with the results and I can strongly recommend The Private Clinic. That's where I had my treatments. They are very professional and very friendly which helps a lot of you're nervous about the treatment.

Pros:None it has ruined my face
Cons:scarring, burning, bruising, horrendous acne, sensitive skin, skin peeling
Bottom Line:I started getting acne when I was 10. I tried everything and nothing worked so I decided to try the N-lite at Hammersmith Hospital. After the first treatment my skin was awful and it has stayed bad ever since.
Before I went for the laser i had about 3 medium and 1 huge spots per week and had a few scars on my cheeks and chin. I have now had 3 laser treatments (each 2 months apart) and I am now getting at least 3 medium and 1 huge spots a day!
They say that a week after the laser you are supposed to get a breakout and then its supposed to clear up until a couple of months later when the laser wears off. I get the breakout a week after the laser but then my skin doesnt get any better.
Not only this but it has made my skin so unbelievably sensitive. I can now only use soap and water on my face and have to moisturise about 3 times a day or i feel like my skin is burning and it all flakes off.
This treatment is the most barbaric thing ever!!!

Pros:Had three treatments a year and a half a go and the results were unbelievably fantastic
Cons:Initial first break out after 1st treatment, plus dont suggest doing in lunch break as im pale skinned and was left red and slightly bruised for about half a day
Bottom Line:I had the three treatments about a year and a half ago and the results were fantastic.I went to the clinic in Manchester the Private Clinic, after the treatment s i noticed such a fantastic difference in my skin, so much so that people constantly mentioned the clearness.I am considering having one or two top up treatments just to maintain the effects
The cost may seem expensive but think how much you spend trying product after product at around £5 a time...that mounts up...try N Lite!!!!!
Recommended:Yes

Pros:In the long term, it has worked very effectively. I haven't had a breakout for over a year since completing the course of treatment and my scars have completely faded.
Cons:For the first couple of treatments it was horrendous. I got loads of spots, worse than before and I was worried it wasn't working but I stuck with it and the improvement is just amazing.
Bottom Line:Yes, it makes your skin worse to begin with. Yes, it's not cheap. BUT a little patience and I have been rewarded with the clearest skin I've ever had and my confidence has grown massively. Personally, I can't put a price on that. I think it was worth every penny. I'm also rather impressed that the benefits seem to be lasting. It's been over a year now and my skin's still good. The Private Clinic (in Manchester) told me I may have to come back for a top up treatment but so far so good. They were also prepared to give me some extra free sessions if my six sessions weren't going to be enough (I had terrible spots around 3rd session). But my skin seemed to clear very suddenly and then stay that way.

Bottom Line:I wasn't sure about N-Lite but I became convinced once I've read many articles about it.

I went to the Private Clinic in Harley Street and the treatments have been very successful.

My acne was really persisitent but now my skin has improved so much, almost beyond recognition.

I can only say that N-Lite has changed my life completely.
