YOUR SATISFACTION IS OUR MISSION

Many think of acne as a persistent skin condition amongst adolescents, causing them to feel uncomfortable or self-conscious. The reality is that acne is equally common among pre-teens and young adults. If you’re one of the millions of people in the world suffering from acne, then you’re well aware of how big a hurdle it can be to overcome, especially when it comes to your own self-esteem. The good news is that with the experts at Dermis, you can overcome this common problem, leaving you feeling confident and comfortable in your own skin.

Acne is often characterized by pimples, cysts, oily skin, blackheads, and whiteheads. These developments are the result of sebum clogging hair follicles. Sebum is made up of accumulated fatty oils secreted by the skin, dead skin cells, and dirt. While pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads are common in healthy skin, hormones, bacteria, stress, cosmetics, and skin care products can all exacerbate these common issues and turn them into full-blown acne. Acne isn’t just limited to the face; it can show up on your back, shoulders, neck, chest, and even your arms. If it’s severe enough, acne can even leave permanent scarring on your skin.

Depending on the severity of your acne, we will help you find an appropriate treatment that will get you the results you want. Basic acne skin treatments in Ottawa focus on removing what is plugging the duct of the gland in question and, if necessary, killing the acne bacteria. This is done either through the application of a product to the skin, through internal medication, or through the use of a cosmetic procedure that will clear the skin and eliminate the bacteria in question.

OUR ACNE TREATMENTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR ALL AGES.

CARBON LASER PEEL $325

Five times more effective than chemical peels, this facial treatment is fast, safe, has minimal downtime, and is suitable for all skin types. Combining Lutronic’s Spectra dual-mode laser technology with medically activated carbon, the treatment removes damaged outer layers of skin and stimulates the production of collagen in underlying layers, all while minimizing skin pores. This procedure is also an excellent purifying process for deep cleaning and is very effective at controlling sebaceous secretion, inflammation, and acne. This treatment can be used on active acne.
