Cosmetic Care

Acne Solutions

There are several ways to address acne problems. When you come to Cosmetic Care, our knowledgeable personal image consultants will review your issues and help to guide you in your acne treatment decision path. A healthy balanced approach always works the best.

The first steps in solving acne problems are:

Acne Prevention: Everyone should begin with excellent skin care. It is important to understand the role of our hormones, medical history, skincare products, and medical acne products. The personal image consultant will provide each client with education on UV protection, use of topical vitamin C, the use of live stabilized cellular creams, and the use of your prescription regimen.

Active Acne treatment: Medical acne treatment – Our medical team may start with a recommendation for pharmacologic products. We offer cosmetic medical advice as a service to all our clients. In order to keep our medical team accessible to our cosmetic caseload, we provide this service to clients who are obtaining cosmetic treatments. We are not able to handle the volume of regular medical dermatologic conditions. Thus, anyone desiring a medical dermatologic opinion is referred back to their primary care physician, or their regular dermatologist.

Oxygen Therapy: Oxygen is critical to the good health of every human cell. It is vital for the production of collagen, which keeps the skin moist and firm. Sadly, as we age, our skin loses the ability to use and hold onto oxygen, so regular boosts in oxygen from an oxygen therapy treatment can give fresh, clear, healthy skin.

Cosmetic Care utilizes OxyMist® for its oxygen therapy in many of our treatments. As a skin rejuvenation program, regular OxyMist® oxygen therapy treatments soothe and regenerate the skin. The mist distributes intensive nourishment to all the layers of our skin, cell by cell. The result is fresh, vibrant skin, glowing with good health that looks and feels younger. It is recommended to have one oxygen therapy treatment per week for skin maintenance.

Cover Fx: Cover Fx is a revolutionary medical grade concealer designed by the dermatology clinic at Sunnybrook hospital. Cover Fx is an excellent choice for anyone looking for an immediate acne solution, on a restricted budget. It is also a good choice for others who elect to go further into more advanced acne treatments, but who want immediate improvement while they wait on the results of their advanced acne treatments.

Advanced Microdermabrasion with glycolic peels: These acne treatments work by causing exfoliation and improved oxygen delivery into the skin. Acne bacteria are ‘poisoned’ by oxygen, thus our rational for exfoliation and oxygen treatments. Microdermabrasion is a gentle process of precision skin polishing. This acne treatment uses very refined crystals to buff off the old dead skin cells to open the pores. A glycolic acid peeling follows the microdermabrasion and oxygen is applied to the skin for dramatic acne reduction. The oxygen component of this acne treatment is coupled with a misted serum of skin nourishing amino acids and vitamin E.

Blue Light IPL (IPL = Intense Pulsed light): These treatments are our most advanced anti-acne care. In this gentle series of treatments the blue light strikes the acne bacteria, activating certain agents in the bacteria, to cause their ultimate demise. This acne treatment effectively and dramatically reduces the acne. Extra benefits with this acne treatment includes a reduction in undesired red spots and brown spots. Occasionally, improvements in tone, texture and pore size lines can be observed. A series of 12 is recommended.

Blue light IPL with Levulan (PDT – photo dynamic therapy): This is the most advanced form of IPL treatments. In this acne treatment regimen, a brief microdermabrasion treatment is performed, followed by the application of Levulan. Levulan is a light sensitizing medication. We intentionally use this type of medication with the lights to enhance the penetration of the light into the tissue for the most rapid and dramatic of results. A series of 3 IPL + Levulan treatments are recommended. Results are long lasting with remissions in acne extending up to one year.
