Acne & Acne Scars Treatment Before & After
Chemical Peel - Acne And Acne Scars Treament
What Are Chemical Peels?
A chemical peel is a procedure which involves the application of a chemical solution to the skin in order to remove its top layer.
Why Are Chemical Peel Effective For Acne Scars?
Chemical peels are effective for acne scars as they target the inner layers of skin, increase new skin cell formation and, in turn, help cover up the acne scars over time.
How Are Chemical Peels Used For Acne Scars?
When you go to the doctor to get a chemical peel for your acne scars, they will start the procedure by applying a chemical solution to your skin through a cotton tip applicator. This solution is left on the skin for some time. After this, the chemical is removed from the skin, and the skin may be treated with a cold compress to soothe it further.
What Are The Benefits Of Chemical Peel For Acne Scars?
The major benefits of chemical peels for acne scars include their ability to improve skin tone and texture along with their effect on skin scarring. In addition, chemical peels can simultaneously unclog the pores and exfoliate top skin layers, preventing further acne outbreaks.
Who Is A Good Candidate For Chemical Peels For Acne Scars?
You may be a good candidate to undergo chemical peel for acne scars if you are over the age of 18 and free of any present skin infection or inflammatory condition. In addition, individuals with skin discolouration and age spots may be encouraged to also undergo this procedure as it helps correct these skin conditions.
SilkPeel - Acne And Acne Scars Treatment
What is SilkPeel?
SilkPeel is a unique facial treatment that works by exfoliating dead skin and application of serums that are customized for different skin conditions like Acne and Acne Scars.
Why Is SilkPeel Effective For Acne Treatment and Acne Scars Treatment?
The way in which SilkPeel works for acne scars is that it helps removes the scarred and damaged top layer of the skin. This removal of the dead skin allows the serum to be better absorbed into the skin, improving cell turnover and skin texture.
How Is SilkPeel Used For Acne Scars?
The SilkPeel procedure for acne scars is conducted in an in-office setup. Once you are seated for the procedure, the doctor will start using the SilkPeel machine on your skin, which will not only abrade your skin gently but also deliver a chemical solution designed for your acne scars.
What Are The Benefits Of SilkPeel For Acne Scars Treatment?
While SilkPeel helps improve the skin texture and diminishes the acne scars over time, it may also promote skin brightening and hydration. It is also found to be effective for fine lines, dark spots and other signs of aging that form on the skin over time.
Who Is A Good Candidate To Undergo SilkPeel For Acne Scars?
You may be considered a good candidate to undergo SilkPeel for acne scars if you are over the age of 19 and present with mild to moderate acne scarring. Individuals with fine lines, wrinkles and other minor skin defects may also benefit from this procedure. It can be used for individuals of all skin tones and skin types.

PRP For Acne And Acne Scars Treatment
What is PRP?
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma, a liquid derived after the blood is processed into a centrifuge to remove the red blood cells. Targeting acne scars with PRP is found to be effective and has become a popular treatment all over the world.
Why Is PRP Effective For Acne And Acne Scars?
PRP is effective for acne and acne scars because it consists of numerous proteins and growth factors that allow the healing of the skin surface from the inside out. Injecting the PRP into the acne scars can allow the natural healing of the scars over time and the associated skin to improve in texture and tone.
How Is PRP Conducted For Acne And Acne Scars Treatment?
The PRP procedure starts with a health professional drawing blood from your arm. Next, this blood is placed into a centrifuge for further processing. Once the blood has been processed, the platelet-rich plasma is extracted into a syringe and injected into the areas of the skin containing acne scars. The entire process takes about 30 minutes to be completed.
What Are The Benefits Of PRP For Acne and Acne Scars Treatment?
The benefits of PRP for acne scars are based on this procedure’s ability to heal the skin and promote new cell formation. This leads to more hydrated and plumper skin, improving skin texture and tone.
Who Is A Good Candidate To Undergo PRP For Acne Scars Treatment?
You may be considered a good candidate to undergo PRP for acne scars if you are in good health and free from any active skin infections on the face. You may also be considered a good candidate if you have visible signs of aging other than acne scars only. This is because PRP can stimulate skin cell turnover, leading to more collagen formation and improvement of the skin texture.
Dermal Fillers For Acne And Acne Scars Treatment
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers have a gel-like consistency and are often injected under the skin’s surface. The dermal fillers are usually used to create a smoother and fuller appearance of the skin, which is why they are also used for acne scars.
Why Are Dermal Fillers Effective For Acne and Acne Scars?
Dermal fillers help lift the skin that has been depressed or indented by the acne scar. These depressed areas are visible even after the scar is healed, which is why dermal fillers can help uplift them and even out the skin.
How Are Dermal Fillers Used For Acne and Acne Scars Treatment?
The dermal fillers procedure for acne scars involves the health care professional injection of minute amounts of fillers under the skin consisting of the acne scars. While you may not feel much pain during this process, you may still be given an anaesthetic or a numbing agent before the start of the procedure. The entire process may take between 30 minutes to an hour.
What Are The Benefits Of Dermal Fillers For Acne and Acne Scars Treatment?
When hyaluronic acids-based dermal fillers are used for acne scars, they have numerous additional benefits for the skin, other than their effects on the scars. They may help improve the skin tone and skin texture and help provide hydration to the skin,
Who Is A Good Candidate To Undergo Dermal Fillers For Acne And Acne Scars Treatment?
You may be considered a good candidate for undergoing dermal filler for acne and acne scars if you are over the age of 18 years and have depressed scars on your face. You may also be considered a good candidate if you are free from ongoing skin infection or a severe acne outbreak.

Stages of Acne
Various terms are used to describe different forms of acne. These include comedones, papules, pustules, nodules and cysts.
There are three levels of acne severity:
Mild: a few small lesions that are close to the skin surface, and may or may not be inflamed.
Moderate: marked by more extensive whiteheads/blackheads and somewhat larger and inflamed red spots covering greater area of the face, and possibly also appearing on the back and chest.
Severe: more extensive acne spots and some deeper cysts or nodules, causing redness and inflammation over much of the face and/or back and chest.
Acne Do's & Don'ts - When To Get Acne And Acne Scar Treatment
- Do wash your face. Use a recognized acne cleanser once or twice daily, but not more often, as this can cause further irritation.
- Do apply sunscreen. When you use acne treatment products, your skin is much more sensitive to UV rays. Choose a product that is non-comedogenic and non-acnegenic.
- Do use oil-free products if you wear makeup. Look for non-comedogenic products – those that don’t contain pore-clogging ingredients.
- Do launder pillowcases and sheets often. Bedding absorbs oil, and can lead to the accumulation of dirt and oil on your skin.
- Do wash makeup brushes with antimicrobial soap. Makeup applicators can store bacteria, so it is important to clean them frequently.
- Don’t pop acne pimples. Picking and squeezing leads to more bacteria being distributed, thus inviting more acne. It can also lead to permanent scarring.
- Don’t stress out! Stress can inadvertently worsen acne by causing increased hormonal activity.
- Don’t feel alone. Nearly everyone gets acne pimples at some point in their lives.
- Don’t scrub too much! It can irritate your skin and aggravate acne.
- Don’t wear makeup. Give your skin a chance to breathe and heal by avoiding makeup at least once a week.

Acne Treatment and Acne Scars Treatment in Toronto
There are many effective acne treatments available in Toronto, but acne can be stubborn and difficult to treat. If you suffer from acne, you may feel that it is very slow to heal, and as soon as the pimples and lesions disappear, others begin to form.
Severe acne can cause emotional distress for many people. It can also lead to scarring. The earlier you start treatment, the lower your risk of enduring these problems, but what matters most is that you do seek treatment at any time of life.
Effective acne treatments reduce overproduction of oil, speed up skin cell turnover, fight bacterial infection and reduce inflammation — all of which can help prevent scarring. Progress can seem slow, however, since most acne treatments take 4 to 8 weeks before results become visible, and your skin may get worse temporarily before it gets better.
When choosing Vita Cosmetic & Laser Clinic for Acne and Acne Scar Treatment in Toronto, you choose a medical doctor overseen clinic that specializes in several advanced treatments for acne and acne scars that are carefully picked based on your needs and skin condition.
Causes for Acne Leading To Acne Treatment
Several factors can cause acne to flare up or lead to breakouts. Although triggers can vary from person to person, you can help to control acne by avoiding things that you notice seem to aggravate the condition.
Cosmetics
Makeup and hair care products can contribute to clogged pores. When shopping for these products, look for labels with acne-friendly terms such as ‘oil-free,’ ‘non-comedogenic’ or ‘non-acnegenic.’
Physical Pressure
Pressure due to a chinstrap, phone receiver, sports helmet, headband, guitar strap, bra strap, shoulder pads and other restrictive items of clothing can lead to acne developing at the point of skin contact.
Sweating
Excessive sweating can worsen acne in some cases, especially when sweat is trapped under damp clothing.
Excessive Washing
Washing your face twice a day with a mild cleanser is recommended for acne-prone skin. Cleansing it more often, scrubbing/exfoliating or using strong cleansers or astringent products (i.e. toners with alcohol) can irritate the skin.
Medications
Certain medications such as oral corticosteroids, some contraceptive pills (progestin only) and anticonvulsants can cause acne to worsen.
Menstrual Cycle
Many girls and women notice that acne flares up near their monthly period due to increased hormonal activity.
Picking and Squeezing
Picking and squeezing acne spots can make them worse and increase the risk of permanent scarring. This manipulation can extend sebum and bacteria into surrounding skin tissues, leading to more swelling, redness, and possible infection.
Food
If a certain kind of food seems to aggravate your acne, you should avoid it. There is some evidence to suggest that avoiding dairy products or following a diet with a low glycemic index may reduce symptoms for some people.
