Acne Treatment
Acne Treatment at Aesthetic Nurse's Clinic in Edinburgh uses IPL/DPL technology as part of a structured six-session programme.

The clinic does not specify aftercare for this service; follow the practitioner’s personalised advice, including any sun-protection guidance. This treatment should be viewed as a cosmetic option, not a diagnosis or guaranteed cure.
