Treatment of Acne Scars
Acne scarring is permanent but can be treated. No treatment is 100% effective and the best result is improvement, not perfection.

Medical Facials, Crystal Peels, Microdermabrasion
A superficial chemical peel or microdermabrasion are quick, no downtime procedures that renew the skin by lifting dead cells off the surface of your skin and stimulating metabolism of the cells underneath. With a series of chemical peels you can quickly achieve substantial improvement in the appearance of superficial lines and uneven pigmentation, while making your skin look and feel softer, smoother, and more radiant. Acne scars and enlarged pores may become less noticeable, and acne breakouts may be reduced. |
FotoFacial
FotoFacial treatments involve the use of pulsed light and Radiofrequency energy gently directed at fine wrinkles, pink discoloration, rosacea and brown discoloration. The treatment stimulates the production of your own collagen and after approximately 5-6 treatments, the fine wrinkles appear smoother. The pulsed light also fades spider veins, brown spots and sun-damaged skin. FotoFacials™ produce a smoother, youthful, vital and less-blemished looking skin. This action works equally effectively on all colours of skin. |
