Understanding Acne and Acne Scarring in Congleton
Clear, healthy skin is something many people strive for, yet acne and its lasting scars remain a common challenge for individuals of all ages.
Living near Congleton, many of us experience acne at some point, whether during our teenage years or later in adulthood. For most, acne clears up on its own without leaving scars, but some people may develop mild to severe acne scarring that can be frustrating for years.
Acne commonly appears during adolescence due to hormonal changes, but factors like genetics, stress, diet, and sleep habits also play a role. Acne scars form when the skin loses tissue after the acne heals, creating indentations, pitted scars, or uneven texture. While some acne scars may improve over time, they often require targeted treatments such as laser acne scar removal, IPL acne therapy, or other professional skin treatments to fully fade.
Acne can affect areas such as the face, neck, chest, back, and arms, sometimes resulting in visible scarring. If you’re looking for acne treatment in Congleton, or want to reduce the appearance of scarring, consider booking a consultation for professional acne scar removal near Congleton.
What Is Laser Acne Treatment & How Does It Work?
For those living near Congleton and searching for advanced acne treatment options, laser acne treatment uses light from an Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) system to target overactive sebaceous glands. This process helps reduce both the number and severity of active acne breakouts, while calming inflammation and preventing future flare-ups. Additionally, the light stimulates collagen production, which improves skin texture and helps reduce the red or brown pigmentation often left behind by acne.
IPL acne treatment offers several advantages over traditional acne therapies. Especially for teenagers and adults in the Congleton area looking for non-invasive acne treatments, this method provides a safer alternative to antibiotics or prescription medications, which can sometimes cause unwanted side effects.
What Can You Expect During Our Laser Acne Treatment
Consultation
Before any treatment here at Harley Skin & Laser Clinic, you must undergo a consultation with one of our experienced aesthetic practitioners. This discussion will allow us to discuss your medical history ensuring you are suitable for the laser acne treatment and no contradictions are found.
The required areas for the treatment will also be confirmed before any steps are taken with a treatment working best on uneven areas such as the neck, face, back or chest.
The starting price for the laser acne treatment is £75, pricing will be discussed with you through your consultation as we work with you to get you the best results.
During Your Treatment
The treatment needed for acne varies based on its severity, with a typical laser course requiring 4-8 sessions lasting about 15 minutes each. Each session takes place in our Newcastle-under-Lyme treatment rooms, where your aesthetic practitioner will explain the process before starting.
The laser treatment may cause mild discomfort, often described as a sensation similar to being flicked by an elastic band, and no anaesthesia is necessary. A protective cooling gel is applied to the treatment area to minimize discomfort and protect the skin from the laser’s heat.
During the session, the IPL device is pressed against the skin, emitting flashes of light that target the affected areas. Each pulse treats a large section of skin, allowing for a quick and efficient treatment process.
After The Treatment
The treated area should experience few to no side effects at all once treatment is complete as the laser acne treatment causes minimal damage to the top layer of skin. The feeling of a slight sunburn that can last a few hours after the treatment will be felt by most patients along with the potential of slight bruising, redness or small blisters rarely appearing.
To help maximize recovery we advise using the Harley Skincare products such as ‘Reveal Cleanser’ and ‘Rejuvenate Serum’ on the treated area daily, ensuring it’s clean at all times and avoiding applying makeup when possible. If you’re heading out after the laser acne treatment is complete we always advise wearing Harley Skincare ‘Protect 50 SPF’ to avoid any sun damage as this can be very harmful to the skin.

What Is Laser Acne Treatment & How Does It Work?
For those living near Congleton, laser acne treatment uses light from an Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) system to target overactive sebaceous glands directly. This process helps reduce both the number and severity of active acne lesions, while also calming inflammation and preventing future breakouts. Additionally, the light encourages new collagen production, which improves skin texture and diminishes the red or brown marks that often follow acne.
IPL acne treatment offers several advantages over traditional acne therapies. Especially for teenagers in the Congleton area, this method provides a safer alternative by avoiding antibiotics and prescribed medications, which can sometimes cause unwanted side effects.

The exact treatment needed will differ between people depending on the severity of your acne, with a typical laser acne treatment course taking between 4-8 sessions which last approximately 15 minutes each.
Taking place in one of our treatment rooms here in Newcastle-under-Lyme, your aesthetic practitioners will talk you through the treatment once more before beginning. The laser acne treatment is mildly uncomfortable but no anaesthesia is required, with many people describing the sensation as similar to being flicked by an elastic band.
Each treatment starts with a protective cooling gel being applied to the area about to be treated, this should help reduce any discomfort and keep the laser’s heat away from your skin while still allowing the IPL to flash through.
The IPL device is then pressed into the affected area and a flash of light is emitted into the skin. The acne laser treatment device is then moved around the treatment area, with a flash going off at designated treatment points. Each pulse of light treats a large area of skin and so the duration of treatment is very short.
The treated area should experience few to no side effects at all once treatment is complete as the laser acne treatment causes minimal damage to the top layer of skin. The feeling of a slight sunburn that can last a few hours after the treatment will be felt by most patients along with the potential of slight bruising, redness or small blisters rarely appearing.People who go through laser acne treatment should expect to see some improvements after their first session, however, full results won’t show until after the first few treatments are completed.
To help maximize recovery we advise using the Harley Skincare products such as ‘Reveal Cleanser’ and ‘Rejuvenate Serum’ on the treated area daily, ensuring it’s clean at all times and avoiding applying makeup when possible. If you’re heading out after the laser acne treatment is complete we always advise wearing Harley Skincare ‘Protect 50 SPF’ to avoid any sun damage as this can be very harmful to the skin.
