Acne Clinic

Who says only teenagers would grow acne?

Studies have show over 40% of adults have persisting acne problem. For most people, this problem resolves quickly, but for some, it is a problem that continues well into adult life, with recurrent outbreaks of redness, blackheads, and pimples, that can lead to permanent scarring.

Can you do something about it? You sure can! There are several treatments that have been proven to work easing acne and acne scarring. Medical Spa Club in Richmond, B.C. can help you with your acne and hyperpigmentation (permanent scarring) issue to help you look and feel your best. We start by assessing you for medically treatable causes of acne. It may be a matter of adjusting your diet, or managing a medical condition such as a hormonal issue. There are a number of medications and skin care products that can help too.

 

Fighting Active Acne Problem

If medications do not provide you with sufficient relief, there are a multitude of new treatments available to you thanks to the recent advances in aesthetic medicine. These treatments include:

 

Battling Acne Scars

Acne scarring and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation can both occur after a breakout.

Post-acne scars can be addressed by using a combination of scar revision procedures to smooth-out and reduce the appearance of them. Find out more on our available scar revision procedures.

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation will usually fade on its own over time – depending on your metabolism it can take months to even years for it to become less obvious. There are options to speed up the process, such as a medical facial.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Do I Take Care Of Acne On My Own?

Prevention of acne is possible. Read some of our tips on how to reduce acne and reduce its damage to your skin here. However, if acne has become a problem that is causing you low self-esteem or pain / damage, you should consider getting it treated before it gets out of hand.

Schedule a consultation today to let our doctor assess the severity and discuss with you treatment options. We’re happy to help every step of the way.

Are acne and rash the same thing? Can you treat my rash?

Absolutely not. There are several skin conditions that look like acne, but are caused by different reasons.

For example, dermatitis causes a rash which often looks like acne. People diagnosed with rosacea have persisting facial redness and sometimes acne-like breakouts. Keratosis pilaris causes small, red bumps that can be mistaken for acne. A skin disease may also produce acne-looking bumps and redness.

Note: Medical Spa Club is a cosmetic clinic that provides treatment options for medical acne. Otherwise, you should visit a dermatologist office for skin disease and infection diagnosis and treatments.

How do cortisone shots work?

Corticosteroid is injected directly into a cyst to reduce inflammation, swelling, and pain of cystic acne (one of the most severe forms of acne).

Corticosteroid shots can also make acne scars less visible. But steroid injections may have side effects, such as thinning the skin or changing its colour.

What Is The Best Treatment For Me?

Acne may be mild (few, occasional pimples), moderate (inflammatory papules), or severe (nodules and cysts). Treatment depends on the severity of the condition. Schedule a consultation with us today and talk to our doctor for treatment options best suited to your unique condition.

How much is the treatment?

Treatment depends on the severity of the condition and the types of procedures you decide to undergo.

Acne may be mild (few, occasional pimples) and may only require a few medical acne facials to keep your skin clear. Moderate (inflammatory papules) or severe (nodules and cysts) acne and acne scars may require a combination of procedures to produce satisfactory results.
