Our Signature Acne Treatment
Acne treatments at Liberty Hall in Leicester are tailored following a professional skin assessment to ensure treatment targets the specific causes of your breakouts.
We combine targeted in-clinic skin treatments with medical-grade skincare and clinically proven LED phototherapy to help decongest pores, reduce acne bacteria and calm inflammation while supporting the skin’s natural healing process.
This personalised approach helps the skin become clearer, healthier and more balanced over time.
Where acne scarring is present, treatments such as microneedling may also be recommended to increase collagen production and improve uneven skin texture.
Acne Treatment Aftercare | Liberty Hall - Leicester
Following your acne treatment, your skin may feel warm, slightly sensitive or appear mildly flushed. This is a normal response as the skin begins its natural renewal and healing process.
Depending on the treatment performed, you may notice:
• Mild redness
• Slight tightness or dryness
• Increased skin sensitivity
• Light flaking or roughness over the next few days
Some clients may also experience a temporary purging phase, particularly if the skin is congested.
This occurs because professional treatments help accelerate skin cell renewal and bring underlying congestion to the surface. As blocked pores clear and impurities are released, you may notice a short period where existing breakouts appear more active before the skin begins to settle and improve.
This is a normal and temporary part of the skin clearing process.
It is also important to remember that visible peeling is not always necessary to achieve results. Many professional peels work beneath the surface to improve skin clarity and reduce breakouts
Post-Treatment Care
To support healthy skin recovery and achieve the best results, please follow these simple aftercare guidelines.
For the first 24–48 hours
• Avoid touching, picking or scratching the skin
• Avoid heat treatments such as saunas, steam rooms or hot baths
• Avoid intense exercise that may cause excessive sweating
• Avoid direct sun exposure
Skincare at Home
For the next few days:
• Cleanse gently morning and evening
• Use soothing and barrier-supporting skincare recommended by your practitioner
• Avoid active ingredients such as retinol, exfoliating acids or scrubs until advised
• Keep the skin well hydrated with calming moisturisers
Once the skin feels comfortable again, you may gradually return to your normal skincare routine.
Sun Protection Is Essential
Your skin will be more sensitive to sunlight after treatment.
Please ensure you:
• Apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ daily
• Avoid direct sun exposure where possible
• Do not use tanning beds or artificial UV exposure
Protecting the skin from UV helps prevent post-treatment pigmentation, irritation and skin damage
Supporting Healing with Dermalux Tri-Wave MD
At Liberty Hall, many acne treatments are enhanced with Dermalux Tri-Wave LED therapy to increase skin recovery and improve treatment results
Dermalux uses clinically proven wavelengths of light that support the skin during the healing process.
Blue light (415nm)
Targets acne-causing bacteria within the pores, helping reduce breakouts and prevent future flare-ups
Near Infrared light (830nm)
Penetrates deeper layers of the skin to stimulate healing, improve circulation and support collagen production.
This combination helps to:
✔ reduce acne-causing bacteria
✔ calm inflamed breakouts
✔ accelerate skin healing
✔ reduce the risk of post-acne marks
✔ support clearer, healthier skin over time
Important Advice
To protect the skin while it heals, please avoid:
• Picking or peeling flaking skin
• Harsh exfoliation
• Strong active ingredients unless advised
• Excessive heat or sun exposure
Allow the skin to renew naturally for the best results
When Will I See Results?
Skin clarity improves gradually as inflammation reduces and blocked pores clear.
For acne-prone skin, a course of treatments may be recommended to help balance the skin and reduce recurring breakouts.
Your practitioner will guide you on the most suitable treatment plan for your skin.
If you have any questions about your recovery or skincare, please contact the clinic for advice.

Acne Treatment Frequently Asked Questions
What causes acne?
Acne develops when the skin produces more oil than the pore can clear. Hormones often trigger this increase in oil production. When oil and dead skin cells build up, pores become blocked. Bacteria can then grow inside the pore, leading to inflammation and breakouts
Can adult acne be treated?
Yes. Acne can affect adults as well as teenagers. Treatment depends on the type of acne, oil production levels and skin sensitivity. A personalised treatment plan helps regulate oil, reduce inflammation and support clearer skin safely.
How many acne treatments will I need?
This depends on the severity of the acne and how long it has been present. Many people benefit from a course of 3–6 treatments, combined with medical-grade home care to accelerate improvement.
Do acne treatments hurt?
Most acne treatments cause mild discomfort, depending on the procedure used. Some treatments may create temporary warmth or tingling. Your practitioner will explain what to expect before treatment begins.
Is there downtime after acne treatment?
Some treatments may cause mild redness or sensitivity for a few days. Depending on the treatment, temporary purging or light peeling may occur. Recovery time varies based on your skin type and the procedure used. Your practitioner will advise you on aftercare.
Will acne treatments help with acne scarring?
Active acne treatment focuses on clearing breakouts and reducing inflammation. If scarring is present, treatments such as microneedling may be recommended to improve skin texture and acne scarring
Can acne return after treatment?
Acne is often influenced by hormones. Treatment can significantly improve breakouts, but ongoing skincare and maintenance is recommended to help prevent recurrence.
Is acne treatment suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. Treatments are tailored to your skin type and condition. If you have sensitive or reactive skin, this will be addressed when planning your treatment.
