ACNE

Acne occurs when dead skin cells clog the skin’s sebaceous glands, often contributing to increased breakouts, redness and oiliness. We recommend treatments and products that address this problem through detoxification and by targeting inflammation and oil production.

Usually the result of hormonal activity, stress and/or poor dietary habits, acne occurs when dead skin cells aren’t properly shed and clog the skin’s sebaceous glands (natural oil-producing glands). Characterized by excessive blemishing, redness and/or oiliness, acne often first appears during adolescence, yet can continue and reappear later in life. In addition to traditional treatments and antibiotics—which can be toxic to the system—harsh chemical ingredients like sodium lauryl sulfate and benzoyl peroxide can worsen this condition and spark rebound breakouts. Carol Robinson, lead Aesthetician, addresses this concern with soothing, natural ingredients designed to eliminate toxins and target inflammation and excess oil production.

The most exciting advancement in skin care in recent years! Chirally correct medical-grade peels are a cosmetic non-surgical technique used to  enhance facial skin by reducing wrinkles, evening out skin tone, treating sun damage, eradicating the appearance of acne scars and blemishes, and treating precancerous skin conditions.

Why is Chiral Better? Traditional chemical peels are placed on the skin and burn their way down to the desired level, creating inflammation and excessive wounding.  Our  Cosmedix chirally correct peels, however, are “intelligent,” in that they promote the health and integrity of the skin.  Once a  peel treatment is applied to the skin, it penetrates to the desired level and begins to stimulate and induce collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycans (promotes the ability of collagen fibres to retain moisture).  Also working to prevent further damage, the treatment will normalize the skin, regulate oil production and diminish free radical activity.

Party! Most people will see immediate results following their peel, such as improved texture, clarity of skin and diminished fine lines. Because these peels are non-inflammatory, you can head right out to a party without anyone knowing you just had a peel!
