Acne treatment clinic in Coquitlam
Acne treatment works best as a plan, not a single facial. We look at the type of breakout, what triggers it and what you have already tried, then combine in-clinic treatments with a home routine you can actually keep up.
How it works
Breakouts start when oil and dead skin block a pore and bacteria multiply inside it, often driven by hormones. In clinic we clear blocked pores with professional extractions, use chemical peels to keep them from reblocking, and use LED light to calm bacteria and inflammation. Medical-grade products at home keep that progress going between visits.
What a course of treatment looks like
Most people see a clear improvement within four to six sessions. Moderate or persistent acne often continues with monthly maintenance. Once breakouts are under control, we can move on to marks and scarring.
Is it right for you?
Usually a good fit
- Blackheads, whiteheads and congested skin
- Mild to moderate inflamed breakouts
- Post-acne dark marks
- Teen and adult acne
We may advise against it if you have
- Severe, deep or cystic acne that scars. This needs a physician’s care, and we will refer you.
- Isotretinoin (Accutane) use now or in the past six months, which rules out peels and extractions
- Pregnancy, which limits some peel ingredients. Tell us and we will adjust the plan.
This is general information. Your consultation covers your own health history before anything is booked.
Before and after your appointment
- 1Bring the names of the products and medications you are currently using.
- 2Some redness after extractions is normal and fades within a day.
- 3Do not pick between sessions. It spreads bacteria and causes marks.
- 4Wear SPF daily. Peels and many acne ingredients make skin more sun-sensitive.
