ALL CLEAR

Over a third of UK adults suffer from acne at some point in their lives, and 3.5 million will seek professional help. However, energy-based machines that are typically used to treat active acne can damage melanin-rich skin if the wavelength used is too penetrative. Similarly, the incorrect depth or intensity of a chemical peel or microneedling treatment can lead to scars and hyperpigmentation, so it’s important to research not only the treatment but the experience of the practitioner.
