One of our available acne treatments involves using the Lynton Lumina which is a state-of-the-art Intense Pulsed Light System, which is also used by theNHS and private hospitals across the UK, to treat mild and moderate acne (grade 1 to 3) by utilising a broadband source of light of wavelengths targeting the major bacterial cause of acne, Propionibacterium Acnes through both superficial bacterial destruction whilst also targeting deep-seated bacteria existing in pustules and papules. Additionally IPL heats the overactive sebaceous glands thus reducing sebum output while also gentle heating of the skin promotes fibroblast activity and stimulates collagen tightening pores improving discolouration and mild acne scarring. Ultimately this treatment helps reduce redness, spots, skin tone, texture, pore size, improve inflammation and frequent breakouts with short treatment times and same day recovery.
