Skin & Acne

Everyone is born with beautiful, flawless skin. Due to years of cumulative sun exposure, genetic and lifestyle factors or illness, your skin can lose its smooth, youthful appearance. It’s possible to develop premature signs of ageing like wrinkles and poor texture, pigmentation issues, acne and acne scarring. Although these conditions are not life-threatening, they can make you look older than your chronological age. Fortunately, there are a number of highly-effective and minimally-invasive treatments that can reverse some of the damage and restore your skin’s healthy appearance with minimal downtime and discomfort

Benefits of Skin and Acne Treatment

Three fundamental changes occur at the cellular level that can cause skin to lose its healthy glow. These include: collagen breakdown resulting in lines, wrinkles and loss of elasticity, skin trauma causing texture concerns such as pigmentation, acne, acne scars and finally volume loss due to disappearing fat pads and bone. Skin and acne treatments successfully address two of these: collagen breakdown and skin trauma. The best approach to comprehensive skin rejuvenation is to combine multiple non-surgical procedures to achieve improvement in the following areas

Texture and Plumpness

We have been successfully using anti-aging modalities such as Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), Skin Needling (Also Collagen Induction Therapy) and Fractional Laser to promote collagen synthesis for smoother skin. Patients often experience some improvement in skin texture, firmness and wrinkles after one session; however, a series of treatments are recommended for the best outcome. Once the desired correction has been achieved, results can last for several years or longer

Acne and Acne Scars

Our expertise is using a multifaceted approach to acne and acne scars. First we address the underlying cause of active acne (clogged pores, bacteria and inflammation) by combining Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) with Blue Laser and topical treatments to control acne breakouts. Then we target pigmentation (post-inflammatory) and texture issues (raised or depressed scars) with laser, dermal filler and/or skin-needling for smoother and blemish-free looking skin

Pigmentation and Vascular Issues

Whether you have excess pigment in your skin (hyperpigmentation), vascular concerns (broken capillaries, rosacea) or both, we can improve your skin’s appearance with BBL™ (Broadband Light) treatments. This technology removes both brown and red pigment, evening out your skin tone while rejuvenating the skin on a cellular level. Melasma is a pigmentation disorder that’s a little more complex but it can be effectively controlled with injections of Tranexamic Acid
