Active Acne Treatments

Acne is an extremely common skin disease that impacts millions of people. This condition occurs when sebaceous glands become obstructed and is characterized by pimples, blackheads, whiteheads and sometimes deeper cysts or nodules on the face, neck, chest, back, shoulders, and upper arms.

Acne typically begins in adolescence and continues through a person’s twenties and thirties. Some struggle with acne all their life.

Regardless of the duration, acne can reduce self-esteem and leads to anxiety or depression.  If left untreated, acne often results in scarring.

While there are many treatment options available for acne, both prescription and over-the-counter, these do not work for everyone. When acne is particularly stubborn or severe, a more advanced solution may be needed.  In the past patients with persistent, moderate acne have been treated with only topical or systemic antibiotics.  New technology now offers hope for those afflicted by this skin condition with long lasting results.

Defeating active acne, with lasting results!

We offer advanced acne treatment solutions in etobicoke using a proprietary pulsed light technology known as AFT (Advanced Fluorescence Technology). This innovative system effectively targets inflammatory acne without the side effects commonly associated with traditional acne medications. AFT works by converting unused UV light into an optimal spectrum, where intense blue wavelengths help destroy Propionibacterium (P/Acne) bacteria without harming the surrounding skin.

With simultaneous contact cooling, this acne treatment ensures a comfortable experience with little to no discomfort and requires no topical anesthetics. It is a non-invasive procedure suitable for all skin types, delivering clearer, smoother skin and long-lasting results.
