Ive sufferd with bad acne since being at school (about the age of 15), i was put on a pill called Dianette wich helped loads and i was so confident but due to never having a periods and being worried each month i came off and my acne came back with avengance!
I lost all self confidence and hate looking in the mirror and im 21 and want to be enjoying life!
After spending tooo much money every month on face wash's, scrub's peel's the lot i decided to go for N-lite laser treatment and had my 1st treatment 2 weeks ago. (payed for a package of 3 treatments and face peels for 450 quid!!)
well at first my face was red for a bit (oh and by the way its not exactly what id call pain-free! its a wierd sensation but its bearable!) Then the next morning my face felt clean but the skin was really peeling all around the spotty areas and made my face look worse! over the next few days my spots seemed to be coming out and drying out it looked really bad and i felt pretty down but its been 2 weeks now and ive seen an improvement, I no longer have massive spots under the skin, The existing big ones have started healing and i have only had 1 or 2 new SMALL spots come up! to be honest im pleased(my skin hasnt completly cleared obviously, but i can see it improving and its feeling a lot smoother) and cant wait for my second treatment i can feel myself actually getting some confidence back!
Paying the 450 pounds was gutting, its a lot of money BUT a small price to pay if it works.
because i dont think people can realise how depressing acne can be, Id say give it a go if you can. Maybe i'll come back in a few weeks and give an update after my second treatment.
Wish me luck :)
And good luck to all you guys and girls looking for a good enough treatment. x x

I have been having N-Lite treatments for about 2 years, roughly every 5-6 months. From the first treatment my spots cleared, and my skin stays clear. I know when I need a treatment as I start to get breakouts, which stop as soon as I have the treatment. Maybe it only works on a certain type of acne, I am 40 years old, and my acne is hormone related as I usually only get them on my chin. I'm just so happy to have found something that works, after trying everything.

I can give a positive report. it has made a difference and reduced my acne quite significantly. it obviously depends on the person and the type of acne you have (as with everything). however, it did get worse at first (as they told me) so if this happens, just keep going for treatments - it will get better and it will hopefully be worth it. i am quite happy with the results and i hope they last - i am aware that i might need to go back in years time and i would pay for it again. basically, i think everyone needs to try a bunch of things and find what works for them - also remember, few people that find great solutions will be back on this website! they will no longer have to read endless reports on treatments! good luck.

I can safely say that I would NOT recommend n-lite to my worst enemy. I've had 4 treatments (including one "free" one because even the rip-off merchants [sorry "clinic"] who administer the scam must have felt guilty it was so ineffective) spaced a month apart. I've wasted a whole lot of time (3+ months) and money (around £450) for zero results. The cost annoys me, but the wasted time annoys me more.

I've since been - finally - to a good dermatologist (who will put me on roaccutane in 8 weeks if his antibiotic attempt fails). If you want to spend money and feel like you're "doing something", I would say get a consultation with a good dermatologist and stop hoping, like I did, that the hype would actualize.

Irony of ironies: the dermatologist that I saw (at a well-know private hospital in Birmingham) is currently researching/trialing n-lite because of his doubts about the technology - and guess what? He says that neither he, nor any of his colleagues, can reproduce anything like the results claimed by the manufacturers and n-lite's figurehead academic Dr Chu. His verdict: expensive, ineffective, and damaging. Damaging because in the time people are wasting hoping the n-lite is miraculously going to start working they are becoming increasingly scarred, depressed and desperate. I can certainly relate my experience to that verdict.

Hi, Recently under went my third treatment at the London clinic. I can honestly say it is a waste of money! It's made my acne much worse then before. I was told the same as other people on this forum. "After 3 treatements your acne, should be clear", was never informed as to the possibility that it may make it worse. After my third treatment the nurse said "thats unusual, it should be getting better now" and thats it, all she suggested was to get a fourth treatment and then book an appointment with the dermatologist there. I've already spent £700 on this treatment (its more expensive if you have it done in the evening.) To see the dermatologist it costs an additional £550. I haven't got a clue now, as what to do. I'm been keeping a blog on my website, I'll will upload the link when my current treatment from the clinic is complete. Theres some photos on there too, as it stands I would pay £400 to get my skin back to the state it was in before the N-lite!

Ok, I went for my second Nlite treatment a week ago and I was dissapointed. She asked me how I thought my skin was and I said I thought it had got worse. She said 'yeh that could be it, or it could be that your skin is just not responding'. I wanted to cry right there on the spot. For starters that's £600 (for 3 treatments) and to be honest I had pinned my hopes on it (I have tried everything, roaccutane, dianette - everything!). Also, nobody at the clinic told me that it might not work! I don't know what to do! I am due my next treatment in a week. Should I have seen improvement by now?? I feel like I should sue if it doesn't work because I wasn't told!

Hi everyone
Just under gone my 2nd nlite treatment at the mancheshter clinic after 1st treatment my skin did seem to get worse and was reassured this was normal now after my 2nd treatment i can see it beginning to work, spots have started to fade as well as my scarring and have begun using simple face wash and cream to help keep my skin from becoming too oily, fingers crossed i have one treatment left so will have to write again soon! dont give up as it does seem to make things worse first but if u can live with it a little longer they do start to fade and i am happy with the results!

i have had acne for quite a while n honestly i have tries everything even da nlite treatment but the best thing that rerally worked for me n some of my foiend if when we stopped eating everything that was "fries" made with oil exlucding thing that have been cooked in the oven or suthing like that but chicken n chips n fish n these kind of thing that have been make with oil give more "moisture" to ur body n ur body then tranform it into acne just try to stop eating things that are made with oil n then u will tell me how it really works

thanks for eading this message

Absolute rubbish. I have had 6 treatments now because I bought them in a group. They have done nothing for my acne, in fact it is now worse. Does nothing for scarring either.

I had my last N-Lite treatment in the private day surgery, London and it has been totally unsuccessful,even at 8 weeks after the 3rd treatment-when the acne is supposedly meant to improve! It has been very costly (up to 500 pounds) and i was not given any real advice when i went in for the final treatment. I see that people here have been offered microdermabrasion next-I agree this is just another way of making money and offering this next proves it! These people overcharge and i think its disgusting no sort of compensation is offered-They are taking something that plagues many people's lives and using it as a money making scheme.
