Acne is not only a teenage problem. Breakouts, redness and oily skin can carry on well into adult life and affect how you feel about your skin. If you live in Kidwelly and creams and cleansers have not been enough, IPL treatment at our Llanelli clinic can help to calm active acne and reduce how often you break out.
Cowell St Skin & Hair Clinic is in the centre of Llanelli. We are a doctor-led clinic registered with Healthcare Inspectorate Wales, and we have been treating clients since 2016.
Every client starts with a free consultation. There’s no pressure and no sales pitch, just an honest view of what treatment can and can’t do for you.
Breakouts happen when overactive oil glands and dead skin cells block the pores. The trapped oil feeds bacteria, which leads to the inflamed, sore spots we recognise as acne. Many Kidwelly clients tell us they’ve tried cleansers, creams and spot treatments for years with little lasting change.
Acne can range from blackheads and whiteheads to inflamed spots and deeper cysts, typically on the face, chest and back. It’s influenced by hormones, family history and medication, and has nothing to do with hygiene.
At Cowell St Skin & Hair Clinic, a doctor-led clinic registered with Healthcare Inspectorate Wales, we treat active acne with the Lynton Lumina IPL system, from £60 a session.
Our Lynton Lumina IPL system uses a 585nm handpiece that sends pulses of light into the skin. The light acts on acne-causing bacteria, reduces inflammation and redness around active spots, and can help to reduce oil production.
It also helps to fade the red (PIE) and brown (PIH) marks that spots can leave behind. Most people have a course of sessions, spaced around four weeks apart.
Most people need three to six sessions for a significant improvement, with fewer and less inflamed breakouts as the course goes on. Maintenance treatments can be arranged if needed.
IPL helps to control acne. It is not a permanent cure, and results vary from person to person. For severe or scarring acne we may advise you to see your GP as well, because prescription treatment may be needed.
IPL is suitable for skin types up to Fitzpatrick type 4. Tanned skin cannot be treated, and that includes fake tan.
Your first visit is a full assessment. We examine your skin, check your skin type and ask about your acne history, what you’ve already tried, and any medication or skincare you use, including retinol and antibiotics.
You’ll leave knowing whether treatment is suitable, how many sessions we recommend and the cost, with no obligation.
To secure your appointment we take a £30 deposit. It comes off the price of your treatment, or we refund it in full if you decide not to go ahead. Please read our cancellation policy before you book.

Kidwelly is only a short drive from our clinic, which makes a course of sessions four weeks apart easy to keep up.
Our clinic is at 10 Cowell Street in the centre of Llanelli, about 9 miles south-east of Kidwelly. It is a simple drive down the A484 through Pembrey and Burry Port, and trains run from Kidwelly station to Llanelli. There is parking in the town centre.
The clinic is also within reach of Mynyddygarreg, Ferryside, Trimsaran, Llansaint and Pembrey. Appointments are short, so many people fit a visit around work or the school run.

Prices start from £60 per session and depend on the size of the area. We confirm your price at the free consultation, before any treatment.
You may feel warmth or tingling with each pulse. Most people find it comfortable enough, and it passes quickly.

Usually around 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
No treatment cures acne for good, but IPL can calm active breakouts and reduce flare-ups. Maintenance sessions help keep things under control.
We can’t treat during a course of retinol or certain antibiotics. Let us know what you’re using, and we’ll advise on when to start.
For discolouration left by spots, yes. Indented scars respond better to fractional laser, which we also offer.
