ACNE & ACNE SCARRING
What is Acne?
Acne is a common skin condition characterised by the appearance of inflamed spots, blackheads, and cysts, commonly found on the face, back, and shoulders. Acne occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil (sebum), dead skin cells, and bacteria, leading to inflammation and breakouts.
The main causes of Acne include:
- Hormonal Changes: Fluctuations in hormones, particularly during puberty, menstruation, or pregnancy, can increase oil production in the skin.
- Excess Oil Production: Overactive sebaceous glands can produce more sebum than the skin needs, contributing to clogged pores.
- Dead Skin Cells: When the skin sheds dead cells, they can accumulate in hair follicles, leading to blockages.
- Bacteria: The presence of bacteria, particularly Propionibacterium acnes, can trigger inflammation and worsen acne.
- Genetics: A family history of acne can increase an individual's likelihood of developing the condition.
- Diet and Lifestyle: Certain foods, stress, and lifestyle factors can also influence acne severity.
Living with Acne can be very unpleasant, not only does it affect our confidence, it can also be painful and result in scarring if left untreated. With the right care and guidance from a professional, many individuals can experience a significant improvement in both their acne and acne scarring.

WHAT IS IPL AND HOW DOES IT TREAT ACNE?
At The Laser Lounge UK in Stoke-on-Trent (Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire) we specialise in the treatment of Acne using Intense Pulse Light (IPL) treatment.
IPL is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses broad-spectrum light to address various skin concerns, including acne. Our state of the art, Medical-Grade IPL device emits multiple wavelengths of light, which penetrate the skin at different depths, targeting pigmented lesions like acne scars and inflamed areas caused by active acne. The light energy is absorbed by these targeted areas, generating heat that helps eliminate the bacteria responsible for acne, such as Propionibacterium acnes, while also reducing inflammation and redness.
This treatment has been scientifically proven to significantly reduce the number and severity of Acne breakouts, improve overall skin texture and reduce the apperance of Red Acne Scarring.
HOW DO CHEMICAL PEELS TREAT ACNE?
Here at The Laser Lounge we use a uniquley blended chemical peel to effectivley treat Active Acne, Blackheads and Acne scarring. Our Medical-Grade, advanced peel contains a specialist blend of both salicylic acid and glycolic acid:
Salicylic Acid: Pentrates deep into the pores, to exfoliate away dead skin cells and dissolve excess oil. This key ingredient tightens and brightens the skin whilst its anti-inflammatory properties work to significantly reduce redness and swelling associated with acne.
Glycolic Acid: Glycolic acid works on the surface of the skin, promoting exfoliation and enhancing cell turnover to fade post-acne marks and promotes a brighter complexion.
When combined together these acids effectively target both the surface and deeper layers of the skin, resulting in clearer, smoother skin. Our unique peel not only treats existing acne but also prevents future breakouts by killing Acne causing bacteria and maintaining a clearer pore environment.
At The Laser Lounge UK in Stoke-on-Trent (Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire), we offer a range of safe and effective treatments for Acne, Blackheads, and Acne Scarring. Our Gold-Standard IPL and Chemical Peel treatments can be used on various areas of the body, including common areas like the back, chest, and shoulders.
