What is Acne?
Acne is a common complaint amongst teenagers and adults alike. It is formed when bacteria, dead skin cells, and oil clog your pores, resulting in a breakout. If you are experiencing active acne, we recommend working with one of our naturopathic doctors to get to the root cause of your breakouts. Acne blemishes can often leave behind scarring and pigmentation, and we offer treatments that can reduce the appearance of acne scars.

Microneedling
Microneedling, a collagen induction technique is one of the best treatments for acne scars. This method uses small needles to perforate the skin, to stimulate collagen production that can smooth scars. A topical numbing cream is used before the procedure for comfort.
There are different treatment options for varying types and severity of scarring:
Classic Microneedling
We use the SkinPen for classic microneedling with hyaluronic acid, platelets and/or growth factors. Your doctor will discuss options and help you decide which treatment is right for your skin type.
Radiofrequency (RF) Microneedling
Radiofrequency has all of the benefits of classic microneedling, with the addition of radiofrequency energy. Adding radiofrequency can mean faster results and may reduce the number of treatments needed. It also provides the added benefit of lifting and tightening the skin.
Topical Treatments
Our doctors specialize in natural, non-toxic skincare to treat acne and acne scars. If needed, a customized prescription from a compounding pharmacy is utilized. Your doctor will create a personalized skincare regimen based on your skin concerns and goals.
