Frequently Asked Questions

What professional treatments can help with acne?

A combination of medical-grade skincare and in-clinic treatments is often used. Hydrabrasion facials clear congestion, chemical peels address surface buildup and photofacials can calm inflammation. Our physician-led team builds a plan around your type of acne.

Q: Should I keep seeing my family doctor or dermatologist for acne? A: Yes. In-clinic treatments work alongside, not instead of, medical acne care. Hydrabrasion facials and chemical peels help clear clogged pores, and IPL may help calm redness, while prescription treatment from your family doctor or dermatologist treats the acne itself. Bring your current routine and prescriptions to your consultation.

Yes, treatments like hydrabrasion facials and chemical peels can help clear clogged pores, reduce bacteria, and improve overall skin health. They work well alongside your dermatologist's prescriptions.

What causes adult acne?

Adult acne can be caused by hormonal fluctuations, stress, diet, medications, and skincare products. Women may experience breakouts related to menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or menopause.

How often should I get professional acne treatments?

Depending on severity, monthly treatments are typically recommended for maintenance. Your treatment plan will be customized based on your specific acne type and skin needs.

Will treatments help with acne marks and scars?

They can. Photofacials address leftover colour, while microneedling with Procell and ClearLift laser improve texture. For deeper scars, fractional CO2 resurfacing is an option. Results vary.
