Sudbury Acne Solutions

Acne results from the obstruction and inflammation of the sebaceous glands, and it affects 80% of the population. As the secretory ducts of the sebaceous glands grow due to age or hormonal changes, sebaceous plugs, bacterial overgrowth, and acne lesions can appear. There are several different presentations of acne ranging from comedonal (blackheads and whiteheads), papular, pustular, and cystic acne. In many cases, many of these presentations of acne can be present on an individual simultaneously. Acne typically begins in adolescence with hormonal changes, however adults often suffer from acne as well. Adult acne sometimes requires a treatment program that differs from that used to address teenage acne.

Can you imagine waking up with clear, radiant skin?  SKIN MediSpa offers the very latest science and technology available in advanced acne management. The Acne Treatment Program addresses both teen and adult acne and includes the most comprehensive range of products, services and treatments available to treat both active adult acne and acne scarring. By combining medical treatments with the latest in scientific and technological advances for acne, our program can deliver exceptional results. The goals of the recommended treatment program include clearing up active acne, preventing further breakouts, eliminating red or brown spots caused by past acne papules, and improving or eliminating any scarring.

Your Steps To Clearer Skin



A SKIN specialist will review previous and current skin care, perform a detailed skin analysis, and discuss general health history before recommending a customized treatment program.

• SKIN Isolaz Acne Treatment Program uses a revolutionary new technology rated as one of the “hottest” products on the market at a recent  American Academy of Dermatology conference.  The Isolaz™ is powered by a breakthrough technology called Photopneumatics™ which is the only therapy in the world that combines a vacuum and painless broadband light to deep cleanse and purify your pores from the inside out.
  
  
  
  
• SKIN Blu-U Photodynamic Therapy with Levulan offers very dramatic improvement in active acne conditions. This revolutionary new treatment program offers a non-invasive and pain-free treatment for moderate acne. It is not a laser treatment. The equipment used emits safe, cool, visible, blue light to provide an effective solution for the treatment of acne. Adding Levulan prior to this treatment acts to photosensitize the skin to dramatically enhance the effectiveness of the photodynamic therapy in targeting the overactive oil glands.
  
  
  
  
• SKIN Fractional Skin Resurfacing SKIN MediSpa introduces the next generation in laser technology that helps improve skin texture through skin resurfacing. This exciting new fractional laser provides the dramatic effects of ablative skin resurfacing without the pain and recovery time associated with older technologies. The laser pulses create tiny ablative zones, targeting the epidermis and upper dermis. The treatment then triggers the body's natural healing process, stimulating the growth of new, healthy skin tissue and diminishing acne scars, wrinkles, lines, and hyperpigmentation.
  
  
  
  
• SKIN Medical Microdermabrasion involves abrasion using either salt crystals or "diamond tip" hand pieces to remove dead cells, clear pores and produce a clear, healthy complexion. The procedure takes about 30 minutes and clients can return immediately to regular activity. A series of treatments is recommended for best results.
  
  
  
  
• SKIN Epidermal Peels The peel solutions used at SKIN MediSpa are the most technically researched, results-oriented formulations available today. Biochemically compatible with human skin, the solutions contain a unique blend of AHAs and other active ingredients and nutrients in an aloe vera base. By eliminating the accumulated buildup of dead cells and debris on the surface of the skin, the exfoliation achieved by our chemical peels speeds cell turnover and reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and other imperfections in skin tone and texture, leaving your skin noticeably softer, smoother and clearer.
  
  
  
  
• SKIN Spa Facial Treatments For Problem Skin incorporate active ingredients to address adult acne and the conditions that often accompany its treatment. Several options exist within our facial spa area to hydrate and calm the skin as it heals.
  
  
  
  
• SKIN Medical Skin Care Program is a customized daily regimen for home care of your skin. It includes medical grade skin care products to maximize treatment results and maintain healthy skin.
  
  
• Prescription Medications are sometimes required to support the treatment regimen and ensure fast results. These are prescribed by Dr. Scott Barr, our Medical Aesthetic Consultant, who will discuss this decision with you during your consultation.

SKIN's proprietary combination of medical knowledge, cutting edge technology, and more than a decade of aesthetic experience offers clients dramatic results that have not been possible until now.
