Pros:No side effects
Cons:Costly but worth it, uncomfortable treatment
Bottom Line:I've had acne since 13, now 23, like most of you I tried everything short of accutane. Antibiotics were the only success story for me until now.

First couple of treatments I was disappointed and started to worry if I wasted my money (again!), broke out mildly before the third treatment. I would say I'm now 80% clear, I still get spots but they're far smaller and heal quicker.

I had my treatments at the skin health spa in selfridges, the staff are perfectly pleasant but bottom line is they are selling you a product, and you get that feeling. But if you've done your research and want to try it who cares!

Had initial 3 treatments for £400 (this includes a glycolic peel and extractions before each laser) and I'm having a 4th done at reduced price of £100. After 4th I will have the top ups. I also bought the products to go with, they're Jan Marini and I think they help with pigmentation.

So far it's worth it, as long as the maintenence treatments that follow

Pros:None
Cons:Treatment is very expensive, and it doesn't work. The treatment itself is quite painful, and there is no aftercare.
Bottom Line:In my consultation, the nurse decided I should need three treatments in total, costing £225 each. I was told the treatment would clear up the spots and calm some of the permenent redness and scarring on my face. However, it is about a month after my third and final treatment, and my skin looks and behaves exactly the same way as before I had anything done. I have spent all this money and there are no results to show for it. Its a complete waste, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I felt that the nurse at The Private Clinic wasn't very knowledgeable or helpful, and when I queried the fact that there was no improvements, or even side effects during the treatment as you're ment to get an outbreak of spots, she just kept fobbing me off with " it takes time to see any results".

Pros:NONE
Cons:Where do i start? Very expensive. In-experienced members of staff. My skin actually got worse. The laser left a scar on my forehead. The machine kept breaking during one of my treatments. No after-care.
Bottom Line:I wish I had never had this treatment.

Pros:clears acne eventually, maybe gets rid of old marks for some (didn't for me)
Cons:expensive, takes at least 3 sessions to see a difference, the laser treatment itself isnt very nice, must do it fairly regularily otherwise skin will start to break out again
Bottom Line:i started the nlite when my acne was mild. the 1st 2 treatments did nothing for my skin, and by the 3rd the acne was severe. however, after the 3rd treatment (which was done on a higher laser setting), i started seeing an improvement, and by the 5th session (a month later) i had barely had any breakouts. however, it all started to go pear shaped from there, as the lady who did my treatment quit, so they transferred me to another clinic, where the new woman was useless, and within 3 months, my skin was as bad as its ever been. now ive got my skin under control again, and am 95% clear using the beauty skin acne lamp, which i would recommend to anyone who found their acne improved by the nlite, but wants a more affordable option.

Pros:Acne decreased slightly for about 2 weeks after 3 sessions
Cons:expensive, saw no real improvement
Bottom Line:Had 3 sesions and was told I'd have no problems, all would be great and after 3 session I would be acne free for at least 6 months. Told that it almost always works!! Went to the Private Clinic, no real assessment and absolutely no after care. So dissapointing. I wouldn't have minded the cost so much had it worked but there was no real improvement and 6 months down the line acne is worse than before.

Pros:improved fine lines on face temporarily, thats as positive as it gets!
Cons:did nothing to improve acne, incredibly expensive
Bottom Line:Absolute waste of money. Please, please do not get sucked in by the advertising- its a lot of money for a treatment which genuinely seems ( read forums like this and you will immediately see a greater amount of negative response) to have little effect on acne.

At least with accutane, which is by no means an ideal or risk free solution, it is more frequently effective.
