Acne Treatment Cardiff
Effective acne treatment for congested skin
Our targeted acne treatments are designed to clear blocked pores, reduce inflammation, and improve overall skin clarity using safe, clinically proven methods.
Does Laser Treatment Help Acne?
Acne can be effectively treated using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), either on its own or alongside clinical treatments such as skin peels and facials. At LaserWise, we provide acne treatments in Cardiff for a wide range of skin types and conditions. IPL helps reduce the number and severity of active breakouts while calming inflammation.
How Does Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Work?
The light emitted from the Intense Pulsed Light system directly targets overactive sebaceous glands, greatly reducing the number and severity of active lesions. The light also stimulates the production of new collagen to improve skin texture and can reduce the appearance of red or brown areas of skin commonly associated with acne breakouts.
We also offer other treatments, including skin peels and facials. Once active acne has cleared, treatments such as microneedling can help improve acne scarring.

Am I suitable for this treatment?
Almost everyone can be treated, apart from very dark-skinned or tanned individuals. If you are pregnant or taking Roaccutane (an acne medication) it is best not to undergo laser or Intense Pulsed Light treatment.
How does the treatment feel?
Treatment is mildly uncomfortable, but no anaesthesia is required. Many people describe the sensation as similar to the flick of an elastic band.
What should I expect after the acne treatment?
Immediately after treatment, the skin may appear red and a warm tingling sensation may be felt. Typically, the skin is cooled to ease any discomfort, and a calming gel is applied.
Are there any side effects?
The treated area can become quite red immediately after treatment, but this usually disappears within a couple of hours. Most people experience no other side effects, but very rarely, a small blister could form, or the skin may become temporarily lighter or darker.
How is the treatment carried out?
A layer of chilled gel is applied to the skin to help guide the light. The light guide is placed onto the skin and a short pulse of light is released. The applicator is passed over the skin several times before moving onto the neighbouring area, and the process is repeated until the whole area is treated. Each pulse of light treats a large area of skin, so the treatment duration is very short. The gel is removed and the skin is moisturised. During treatment, protective eyewear will be provided. A typical treatment session is approximately 30 minutes.
How many acne treatments are necessary?
The number of treatments necessary varies from person to person, but typically 6 Intense Pulsed Light and 6 exfoliating treatments will result in a significant improvement.
