What is acne?

Acne isn’t just a condition that strikes in your teen years, people of any age can develop acne due to hormone changes, stress, and certain dietary compounds. Acne includes outbreaks of pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. These lesions form when hair follicles and pores become clogged with oil, dirt, and dead skin. The bacteria gets trapped, leading to inflammation and infection. 

Acne can develop just about anywhere on your body but most often occurs on your face, chest, shoulders, and back. 

You don’t have to just let acne run its course. Doing so can actually make you vulnerable to scars and repeated outbreaks. The providers at Cascade Medspa & Laser Centre are ready to help with a variety of treatments. 

What acne treatments do you offer?

Cascade Medspa & Laser Centre customizes your acne treatment to your particular case. Your esthetician may recommend one or more of the following: 

Chemical peels

Chemical peels involve applying compounds to the skin that encourage the outermost layers of skin to exfoliate away. The peels also remove dead skin cells and bacterial buildup, too. This helps reduce acne and minimize acne scars. 

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a gentle, noninvasive exfoliation treatment that rids your skin of dead cells and impurities that build up to dull your complexion and clog pores. This discourages acne breakouts and leaves acne-scarred skin feeling smoother. 

Laser treatment

The estheticians use advanced Sciton Forever Young BBL™ to apply laser energy to your skin. The energy targets acne-causing bacteria without damaging the outer layer of your skin. This laser is also effective on redness and hyperpigmentation. You benefit from about six total sessions scheduled over several weeks. 

Diamond Glow® Dermalinfusion

Diamond Glow Dermalinfusion is an advanced skin resurfacing treatment that combines exfoliation, extraction, and infusion of condition-specific serums to improve skin health, function, and appearance. Your provider customizes the serum to your needs, such as oily or congested skin.

The procedure infuses the skin with specialized serums at the best moment to optimize penetration and absorption of the active ingredients. 

What can I do at home to control my acne?

In addition to in-office treatments and services for acne, Cascade MedSpa & Laser Centre offers pharmaceutical-grade products for home care. Your esthetician carefully evaluates your skin to determine your needs and directs you to cleansers, moisturizers, and other products to improve your skin and treat your acne.
