Acne: Treatment is Virtually Pain Free

The acne treatment will often be determined by the degree of the acne problem. Practicing good skin care can help control mild acne; treatment my be needed if a more severe case of acne is not addressed.

The inflammation and the embarrassment of acne can now be treated without any of the pain, discomfort or other unpleasant side effects of a traditional acne treatment; and best of all, without the recovery time usually associated with an acne treatment.

A skilled NUU nurse or esthetician can perform an Acne Treatment (Cleansing) using a high intensity light which kills the bacteria which causes acne and thoroughly cleanse the pores in the area affected by acne. This acne treatment can be performed in as little as twenty minutes time and you'll begin seeing the results after your first acne treatment; however, multiple treatments may be needed to produce optimal results.
