Throughout life, we all deal with acne, whether in our teenage years or into adulthood. Most acne resolves naturally, leaving no scarring behind; however, for some, mild to severe acne scarring can occur and may become bothersome for years to come.
Acne usually occurs in most people during their teenage years due to hormones, but it can also be influenced by genetics and lifestyle choices such as stress, diet, or sleep. Acne scarring happens after the acne clears, leading to a loss of tissue that results in indentations on the skin’s surface. While this should naturally heal, it may not fully disappear unless laser acne treatment is applied.
Acne can develop on the face, neck, chest, back, and arms, potentially leaving scars behind. If you’re concerned about your scars, book an appointment for laser acne scarring removal.
What Is Laser Acne Treatment & How Does It Work?
Laser acne treatment utilises light from an Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) system, which directly targets overactive sebaceous glands. This significantly reduces the number and severity of active lesions while lessening inflammation and breakouts. The light stimulates the production of new collagen, improving skin texture and reducing the appearance of red or brown marks often associated with acne breakouts.
There are several benefits to IPL acne treatment, particularly when compared to traditional methods. For teenagers, this approach is increasingly important as it avoids the need for antibiotic treatments and prescribed medications that may have unpleasant side effects.
What Can You Expect During Our Laser Acne Treatment
Consultation
Before any treatment here at Harley Skin & Laser Clinic, you must undergo a consultation with one of our experienced aesthetic practitioners. This discussion will allow us to discuss your medical history ensuring you are suitable for the laser acne treatment and no contradictions are found.
The required areas for the treatment will also be confirmed before any steps are taken with a treatment working best on uneven areas such as the neck, face, back or chest.
The starting price for the laser acne treatment is £75, pricing will be discussed with you through your consultation as we work with you to get you the best results.
During Your Treatment
The treatment needed for acne varies based on its severity, with a typical laser course requiring 4-8 sessions lasting about 15 minutes each. Each session takes place in our Newcastle-under-Lyme treatment rooms, where your aesthetic practitioner will explain the process before starting.
The laser treatment may cause mild discomfort, often described as a sensation similar to being flicked by an elastic band, and no anaesthesia is necessary. A protective cooling gel is applied to the treatment area to minimize discomfort and protect the skin from the laser’s heat.
During the session, the IPL device is pressed against the skin, emitting flashes of light that target the affected areas. Each pulse treats a large section of skin, allowing for a quick and efficient treatment process.
After The Treatment
The treated area should experience few to no side effects at all once treatment is complete as the laser acne treatment causes minimal damage to the top layer of skin. The feeling of a slight sunburn that can last a few hours after the treatment will be felt by most patients along with the potential of slight bruising, redness or small blisters rarely appearing.
To help maximize recovery we advise using the Harley Skincare products such as ‘Reveal Cleanser’ and ‘Rejuvenate Serum’ on the treated area daily, ensuring it’s clean at all times and avoiding applying makeup when possible. If you’re heading out after the laser acne treatment is complete we always advise wearing Harley Skincare ‘Protect 50 SPF’ to avoid any sun damage as this can be very harmful to the skin.

The exact treatment needed will differ between people depending on the severity of your acne, with a typical laser acne treatment course taking between 4-8 sessions which last approximately 15 minutes each.
Taking place in one of our treatment rooms here in Newcastle-under-Lyme, your aesthetic practitioners will talk you through the treatment once more before beginning. The laser acne treatment is mildly uncomfortable but no anaesthesia is required, with many people describing the sensation as similar to being flicked by an elastic band.
Each treatment starts with a protective cooling gel being applied to the area about to be treated, this should help reduce any discomfort and keep the laser’s heat away from your skin while still allowing the IPL to flash through.
The IPL device is then pressed into the affected area and a flash of light is emitted into the skin. The acne laser treatment device is then moved around the treatment area, with a flash going off at designated treatment points. Each pulse of light treats a large area of skin and so the duration of treatment is very short.
The treated area should experience few to no side effects at all once treatment is complete as the laser acne treatment causes minimal damage to the top layer of skin. The feeling of a slight sunburn that can last a few hours after the treatment will be felt by most patients along with the potential of slight bruising, redness or small blisters rarely appearing.People who go through laser acne treatment should expect to see some improvements after their first session, however, full results won’t show until after the first few treatments are completed.
To help maximize recovery we advise using the Harley Skincare products such as ‘Reveal Cleanser’ and ‘Rejuvenate Serum’ on the treated area daily, ensuring it’s clean at all times and avoiding applying makeup when possible. If you’re heading out after the laser acne treatment is complete we always advise wearing Harley Skincare ‘Protect 50 SPF’ to avoid any sun damage as this can be very harmful to the skin.
