Acne Treatment

The skin is the largest organ of the body which contains several layers. The subcutaneous layer, the dermis and epidermis.  The outermost layer of the skin which seals the epidermis is the stratum corneum layer. This layer actively sheds as the skin's cells naturally divide and multiple at the dermis-epidermis junction.  The process of cell division and shedding is what we call skin regeneration. When the skin does not shed properly or if skin cells are being produced at an abnormally quick rate (faster than normal), the end result is often what is known as acne.

Acne forms when sebum and bacteria become trapped in follicles in the skin. The cycle begins when testosterone is converted by the skin which stimulates sebum production in the pores. The oils cause dead cells to stick together while nurturing bacteria. Blemishes appear when these oils prevent the skin from naturally shedding which may be in the form of whiteheads, blackheads, pimples or cysts. Severe cases of acne will often leave indentations or scars on the skin.

We offer a variety of treatments depending on the type of skin you have.

For skin with acne we do glycolic acid peels combined with topical acne creams as well as specialized products specifically for your skin type.

For pigmentation and ache scars, microdermabrasion and specialized products to treat hyper-pigmentation are the required treatments.

We also offer treatments for sensitive skin and skin with rosacia.
