Acne.org’s Real World Take
Laser therapy works by harming skin oil glands. That can lead to some improvement in acne, and perhaps even long-term relief of some acne symptoms. However, evolution gave us skin oil glands for a reason and what happens long term when you permanently disable them is still unknown. Proceed with caution.

Cons:
Expensive, time consuming, kind of painful. gives false hope.
I had one treatment and acc. to THE PRIVATE CLINIC and other reasearch by tony chu online, the first one should've helped. It did nothing for me.
The nurse tries to brainwash u by telling you how others have benefited and the theory behind it and by being extra nice. NO IT DOESNT WORK
if you have super-spare money try 3-6 and see if it works.

Pros:
cleared up acne, skin is softer and smoother.
much better than antibiotics and dianette.
Cons:
expensive! products they gave me has caused dry skin around mouth area - minor!!!
I went to the private clinic in manchester. The staff were very helpful and sympathetic. I have had 3 n-lite treatments - 2 weeks apart. After the 1st treatment I had an outbreak. I've just had my 3rd treatment today and I am very pleased with the results. My skin is soft, - a bit dry around my mouth due to the products they gave me - thinking of going back in a few months for a chemical peel to get rid of scarring.I am very happy with the results so far! definately worth the price

Pros:
It is worth every single penny
Cons:
No cons
N-Lite has incredibily improved my skin texture and completely got rid of my acne and my spots. It has given me a huge confidence boost. I had my treatments at The Private Clinic in Harley St. I've found them very friendly and very professional. Highly recommended.

Pros:
It works
Cons:
It takes a few treatments to get results
I can honestly say the N-Lite treatment worked for me. I had 5 treatments at the Private Clinic. After the first treatment I got worse and after the second was not better and
it wasn't until after the forth treatment when I saw an improvement. About after 4 weeks of the fifth treatment my skin was clear
and 5 months later is still clear. I'm going back for a top up treatment in the new year.

Pros:
Made my skin less oily & spots cleared at first
Cons:
After 6 treatments, skin became worse than before having ANY treatment!
Ive had 'spots' for over 11 years and have tried many different treatements, creams, tablets and lotions, but very little has made a difference.
So I saw NLite advertised on a TV program and the results looked great! The patient's skin was worse than mine, but after 3 months was smooth and clear.
I had a consultation and was advised to have 3 treatments (1 a month) and 'see the results' after.
Each treatement costing 180 pounds was pretty steep but i believed it would really help!
My skin just got worse (which i was warned about) but after the 5th session, my skin was pretty good! I was told I should have more, but ofcousre!!
I left it for 2 months to see if it was healing, but they came back, big time!
I've had one more since and my skin is the worst its been in about 2 - 3 years!
I've spent almost 1000 pounds and I feel like ive wasted very penny.

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.

Pros:
hyperpigmenation less by 5-10% after the 1st tx
Cons:
small white rashes and itchy
i had my 1st tx last jan.15 on my neck and upper arms and everything well but after 2 weeks, i had small white cysts probably milia. this is probabaly the response of my skin which is hypersensitive after the laser tx. and im not gonna continue my other 3 treatments since im afraid it will even get worse. my advice for those who have filipino-asian skin, better go to a derm doctor that specializes on your skin type/race.i will just continue with my derma sweep microdermabrasion eventhough it has minimal results, at least it will not cause more harm to my skin. fraxel is the trend right now but wait till everyone is happy with it.

Pros:
It did get rid of a few red bits on my face
Cons:
Acne didn't REALLY leave my face THAT much a few but no big deal
What a lie!!!!! its all aload of cack!!! lol it cost me a £1000 and a few spots left my race not to mention the fact that it can hurt but my skin is sensitive. i guess it did take sum redness away but for a thousand pounds i would of liked a spot free face!!! if u have about 3spots yeh i say go 4 it but if u really do have acne i don't waste your time or your cash!!

Pros:
Great results
Cons:
I could not find any
I've done some research for N-Lite treatment and found the Private Clinic on top of Google. I was convinced to go with them when I saw their feature on 'This Morning', the newspaper articles, and all the clients testimonials. I've had 4 N-Lite treatments and it has been a remarkable success. I could not recommend a better treatment and a better Clinic, their staff are very knowledgeable, polite and very relaxed. I am sorry to hear some people have had negative results from N-Lite but their personal experience should not stop anyone from trying the treatment. There is a great section on what the papers say on the Private Clinic website that anyone having the treatment should read.
