Light reaches below the surface, where creams can’t, to calm redness and help reduce excess oil.
Treatment follows doctors’ protocols, with your skin type, acne history and medication checked first.
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 Morriston 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.
Acne starts when the skin’s oil glands produce too much sebum. That oil, mixed with dead skin cells, blocks the pores, bacteria multiply inside them and the skin becomes inflamed. Morriston clients often describe how breakouts affect their confidence at work and socially.
It shows up as blackheads, whiteheads, red spots and deeper, painful lumps, usually on the face, chest and back. Hormones, family history and some medicines all play a part, and it is not caused by poor hygiene.
Our Llanelli clinic is doctor-led and registered with Healthcare Inspectorate Wales, and acne treatment with the Lynton Lumina IPL starts from £60 a session.
The Lynton Lumina IPL, fitted with a 585nm handpiece, delivers light pulses that target the bacteria behind acne. It reduces redness and inflammation around active spots and can help control oil, making breakouts less likely.
The same treatment fades post-inflammatory marks, both the red (PIE) and brown (PIH) types. You’ll usually have a course of sessions 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.
At your consultation, we assess your skin and skin type and talk through your acne history, previous treatments and current medication and skincare, including any retinol or antibiotics.
You’ll leave with a clear recommendation, an estimate of sessions and the cost per session, with no obligation to go ahead.
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.

Morriston is a quick trip along the M4, so monthly acne sessions fit easily around work.
Our clinic is at 10 Cowell Street in the centre of Llanelli, about 10 miles west of Morriston. You can take the M4 from junction 45 to junction 48 and then the A4138 into Llanelli, or drive across through Penllergaer and Gorseinon and over the Loughor Bridge. There is parking in the town centre.
The clinic is also within reach of Clydach, Llansamlet, Ynysforgan, Treboeth and Llangyfelach. 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.
There’s some discomfort, but most people tolerate it well. Expect a feeling of warmth or tingling that passes once treatment finishes.
Most people have a course of three to six sessions, about a month apart. We may suggest maintenance sessions to keep results.
Usually around 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
IPL won’t permanently cure acne, but it can significantly reduce active spots and breakouts, with maintenance sessions to help sustain results.
Not at the same time. Retinol and some antibiotics make the skin more sensitive to light, so we’ll plan your start date around them.
It lightens marks left by spots. For textured or indented scarring, fractional laser is the better option, and we’ll advise at your consultation.
