Acne Laser Treatments in Ottawa: Clear Skin, Renewed Confidence
Struggling with acne and the scars it leaves behind can be frustrating—but effective, non-invasive solutions are within reach. At Dermis Advanced Skin Care, we offer acne laser treatments in Ottawa that target both breakouts and the lasting effects they leave on your skin.
Our approach is clinically backed, physician-led, and tailored to your unique skin. From active acne to textural concerns and pigmentation, we combine cutting-edge technology like Laser Genesis and Clarifying Hydrafacial to restore clarity, balance, and smoothness without downtime.
Laser Genesis for Acne and Scars
Treat breakouts and boost skin healing
Laser Genesis is one of our most popular acne treatment options. This non-invasive laser uses gentle heat to treat the deeper layers of skin, stimulating collagen while reducing inflammation and bacterial activity.
Key benefits include:
- No surface injury or peeling
- Bacteria reduction to prevent future breakouts
- Collagen stimulation to help fade acne scars
- Improved skin tone and pore refinement
It’s safe for all skin tones and can be used on the face, chest, neck, or other areas affected by acne or scarring.
Laser Genesis vs. IPL
Choosing the right technology for your skin
Clients often ask whether Laser Genesis or IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is better for treating acne. The answer depends on your skin tone, concerns, and goals.
- Laser Genesis uses a single wavelength to precisely target inflammation, bacteria, and uneven texture
- IPL uses broad-spectrum light to address pigmentation, redness, and sun damage
- IPL is typically best for lighter skin tones, while laser is more versatile across all tones
During your consultation, we’ll recommend the best path forward based on your unique skin profile.
What to Expect From Treatment
Gentle, effective, and zero downtime
Laser Genesis treatments are quick, relaxing, and entirely non-invasive. There’s no need for numbing cream or recovery time.
What you may experience:
- A warm sensation during treatment—no pain or discomfort
- Mild redness or swelling that fades within hours
- Immediate return to your normal activities
We recommend applying broad-spectrum sunscreen post-treatment to protect the skin and avoid any hyperpigmentation.
How Often Should You Book Laser Genesis?
Build results with consistent care
For best results, we typically recommend 4 to 6 sessions, spaced about 3 to 4 weeks apart. You’ll see gradual improvements throughout the series, with optimal clarity and tone appearing after multiple treatments.
Each session builds on the last—think of it as training your skin to stay clear, calm, and smooth.
Complementary Treatments for Acne
Combine therapies for next-level clarity
In addition to laser, our Hydrafacial is an excellent complement to your acne protocol. It gently exfoliates, extracts congestion, and uses blue LED light to combat acne-causing bacteria.
Benefits of combining treatments:
- Deep cleansing paired with targeted light therapy
- Boosted hydration and healing alongside laser rejuvenation
- Clinical studies show 100% of participants experienced clearer skin after a Hydrafacial series
Alternating between laser and Hydrafacial allows your skin to recover, renew, and stay clear.
