Patient receives laser acne treatment by technician at Dr. Kuzel's clinic

acne and acne scarring

If you’ve had moderate to severe acne, you know the effects of acne and acne scarring can take an emotional toll. A Canadian study of nearly 500 patients with acne, published in the British Journal of Dermatology, found that even mild acne can cause low self-esteem and is a significant risk for depression. Fortunately, there’s an extensive range of tools to treat acne and acne scarring.

The right treatment plan will depend on skin type and the severity of the acne and scarring. If your acne is mild, good habits and well-chosen skincare products might be all you need. For moderate to severe acne or acne scarring, there are a number of evidence-based, therapeutic skincare products, medications and dermatology procedures to help you achieve a clear, healthy, smooth complexion. Here are a few of the treatment options that Dr. Kuzel may recommend:

CO2 Laser Resurfacing

CO2 laser resurfacing removes the top layer of damaged skin and heats the underlying tissue, promoting collagen production. This helps to improve the appearance of acne scars and blemishes, resulting in smoother, clearer, and more even skin tone.

Fotona fractional laser resurfacing

The highly customizable treatment uses fractionated laser beams to penetrate the skin, creating thousands of microscopic treatment zones. This stimulates collagen production and tissue remodelling, resulting in smoother, more rejuvenated skin with minimal downtime.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

PRP treatments use a patient's own blood plasma to promote cell growth and regeneration. It helps with acne by stimulating the body's natural healing processes and reducing inflammation. The growth factors in PRP can also help to rebuild collagen and improve the texture and tone of the skin, reducing the appearance of acne scars.

Radio Frequency (RF) Microneedling

RF Microneedling promotes collagen production and creates tiny channels in the skin, allowing for better absorption of topical acne medications. It can reduce acne inflammation, unclog pores, and improve overall skin texture.

Peels

Refresh your skin with an exfoliating peel from the professional aesthetics team at Rejuvenation. Ask Dr. Kuzel whether one of Rejuv’s peel options are right to help you improve your skin tone and texture.
