Acne treatment has advanced so much in the last ten years. The modern acne treatment uses high-spec laser technology to destroy the acne bacteria and stimulate the immune system.
Acne treatment is now safe, fast and effective. Freedomhealth uses the most modern acne treatment.
Unfortunately most of us will suffer from acne at some point in our lives. It's not just a teenage thing and lots of adults suffer for years too. Damaging your self-esteem, it can really affect your self-confidence and interfere with social and work life. Even when those big red spots have faded, the scars remain.
Recent developments have given us very effective acne treatments for both active acne and scarring. The new N-Lite V3 laser system is described by Consultant Dermatologist, Dr Tony Chu, a World Expert on Acne as "The biggest breakthrough in treatment of acne vulgaris in 20 years". In Dr Chu's studies at the Hammersmith Hospital in London there was a clear improvement in people subjected to just one laser acne treatment. 87% of people improved after a single treatment and 58% enjoyed a 50% reduction in spots after a single acne treatment
Current treatments for acne involve the use of antibiotics for long periods of up to 6 to 8 months or harsh drying lotions like benzoyl peroxide that bleach clothes and hair and need someone else to apply it to tricky areas. Resistance to the commonly used antibiotics is currently around 65% in some areas of the UK.
As you might expect, Freedomhealth is at the forefront with the N-Lite V3 laser in acne treatment. The laser is very safe, and a single acne treatment produces remarkable improvements. N-Lite V3 laser acne treatment is fast, comfortable, convenient and very effective, even from the first treatment.
Initial consultation and treatment takes just 40 minutes! The study by Dr Chu indicated a marked improvement from just one treatment - and for some people the acne treatment gave a complete cure.

More Details about N-Lite Laser Acne Treatments
There are many interacting factors which result in acne. These have become better understood over the last 20 years and now acne treatment can be better aimed to improve individual acne.
Acne is a disease of the very specialised sebaceous follicles found on the face, neck, back and upper chest and buttocks. These glands produce excess oil or sebum and also they collect abnormal amounts of old dead cells from the walls of the cysts. This results in glands filled with oil and blocked by cells. These may then just turn into black or white heads or may get really inflamed and turn into big red spots. The skin has its own resident bacteria, P.Acnes, which thrives on the oily/dead cell mix.
P.Acnes is rapidly developing antibiotic resistance with resistance rates of up to 65% in some parts of the UK, explaining frequent treatment failures.
Work by Dr Chu, Consultant Dermatologist and world expert on acne has established that P.Acnes is a pigment containing bacteria which can be killed by exposure to certain wavelengths of light. This explains why all of us acne sufferers get better temporarily during periods of sun exposure. It also explains why the N-Lite V3 Laser system improves the outcome so enormously.
Other acne treatments are tailored as far as possible to the cause. The amount of oil can be reduced by using specialised drugs like Roaccutane which is a hospital only prescription in the UK.
