Lasers

I've had two treatments about one month apart. The first treatment worked better than the second. It reduced the acne along my troubled hairline when NOTHING else had worked.

Cons:

It hurts! It has not reduced my oily face, but I have been diagnosed with POS. My acne is hormonal.

It gave me improvements I had not seen with other products/services. I am going to pair it with other things like Proactiv and salicylic peels, but not all at the same time. It's also been helping to wash my hands and hair regularly, change my pillow case and clean my phones.

Pros:

I had very good results. My skin is very smooth and free from malasma. The wrinkles around my eyes and between my brow are virtually gone. I had it done 3 months ago. I hope to see more improvement as time passes.

Cons:

The procedure was very painful toward the end because the pain medication wore off. The first 5 days of recovery was miserable. I felt much better after 2 weeks.

It was worth it. I might have done fraxel instead of co2 lazer because of the awful recovery period.

Pros:

Good results

I've researched N-Lite on the Internet for a while and discovered many positive articles and rewiews about it. I've finally taking the treatment and I'm really happy with the results and I really mean it. I've read many postings in other forums as well and the positive responses are 85/90% in favour of N-Lite. I've also researched many Private Clinics and found some of them have been established for over 20 years. Surely if they were a waste of time as someone pointed out why are they still in business?

Pros:

Acne-free in 3 months (with the help of BP too) and completely soft and rejuevenated, healthy, toned skin.

Cons:

There isn't one. No acne sufferer could put a price on clear skin - its worth every penny. I've probably spent more than Â£450 over the years on sh*tty OTC products, fad diets and prescriptions that never worked.

To any one who has already used, or is currently using BP, this treatment works identically but in higher doses! It produces oxygen under the skin to kill bacteria and also stimulates collagen to promote healing. And it works. My skin had reached such a severe point I can honestly say that I'd given up on life. I used to think about ways to kill myself on the tube - I was so miserable. No treatment worked and I'd been fighting it for two years. I honestly just wanted to die. I found the N-lite treatment on the Skin health Spa website and thought why not. Its saved my skin and my life. I never had an initial breakout or bruising - it didn't hurt. I just carried on using BP (as I'd always done) and weeks after the 3rd and final treatment my skin looked perfect. I was and still am so happy and soo thankful. I'm still using BP in teeny tiny quantities but my skin is clear. My advice - don't waste your time, your money or your hopes on any other treatment.

Cons:

Seemingly no effect + very expensive.
Private clinic in London probably not the best place to have treatment: some of the staff are rude + unable to answer questions, too busy and emphasis is on 'Sales'.

Have only had one treatment with the private clinic in London, and haven't noticed any difference whatsoever. The treatment doens't appear to have damaged my skin, but neither has it improved it. The acne is supposed to get worse after the first treatment, but it looks exactly the same. From a treatment which is so expensive, I expected to see some results. If after my next treatment I see any developments, I will update this rating.

Pros:

A revolutionary treatment

Cons:

A little redness that disappears very quickly

I'm a salesman from Brighton. I have been researching a treatment for my bad acne and I've found N-Lite. I also found The Private Clinic, but I didn't go ahead with their treatment as they don't have a clinic in Brighton and I had the treatment done with a local clinic. However their website convinced me I should try N-lite. They have an interview from This Morning ' the ITV programme - which is conducted by a well known Doctor, and many articles about N-Lite from newspapers like the Daily Mail, the Sunday Times The Telegraph. Metro etc. Clearly N-Lite is a revolutionary treatment and it solved all my problems. I suggest everyone research a bit more about N-Lite (as there is so much information available) before drawing conclusions that don't make any sense and discredit reputable Clinics and well trained and qualified Doctors.

Pros:

I have not noticed many pros but then I may be too early to judge as I have only had two so far. Not that painful and no downtime.

Cons:

It is very expensive. It has also exasperated my acne. I am getting more cystic acne now.

I am a bit frustrated with the procedure. I have spent so much money on procedures over my life time to try to "cure" my acne and nothing has worked. I am 38 years old and still break out! I am hoping after the third or fourth time, I will notice a difference in oiliness, and cystic break outs. I will definately write back after my third treatment and update my opinion.

Pros:

can't think of any

Cons:

ruined my skin

I had a treatment done at the Laser Treatment Clinic 1in London, 1 Harley. The people you speak to are not qualified and do not check your skin. They mention the only side effect are some red marks that stay for 15 minutes. One hour after the laser treatment, I had some massive red marks all over my face. After 2 hours it died down but was left with very deep red marks. After 4 days the red marks turned into purpura and started having small buttons with white heads. I was so scared, I went to a skin specialist who gave me some cream with antibiotics. This helped to heal and I was left after 2 weeks with some marks that turned pink. After 4 weeks I still had some light pink marks and 6 months later, we can still see where the laser went. It left some marks and I now have some holes in my beard. This treatment did nothing for me. I still have the same level of acne but I now have marks for ever. So please don't go to these private clinic. They just want your money and are not qualified
