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 Neath 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 is caused by a combination of excess oil, dead skin cells and bacteria in blocked pores, which together lead to inflammation under the skin. We see many clients from Neath whose adult acne has returned or flared up later in life.
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.

From Neath, our clinic is an easy drive west along the M4 for each monthly session.
Our clinic is at 10 Cowell Street in the centre of Llanelli, about 20 miles west of Neath. The usual route is the M4 west to junction 48, then the A4138 into Llanelli. There are also trains from Neath towards Llanelli, some with a change at Swansea. There is parking in the town centre.
The clinic is also within reach of Skewen, Briton Ferry, Cimla, Tonna and Resolven. Appointments are short, so a visit is easy to combine with a trip into Llanelli.

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 mild discomfort, usually described as warmth or tingling, which goes once the session ends.
Typically three to six sessions, around four weeks apart, though this varies from person to person. Maintenance sessions can help afterwards.
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.
IPL fades the red and brown marks spots leave behind. Pitted scars need fractional laser, and we can assess both.
