Acne Scar Removal Ottawa

At Body ‘N’ Bloom we use two types of treatments for acne scar removal:

Blue light  – which works safely and effectively, clearing up existing blemishes, and preventing future breakouts before they happen. Phototherapy can increase circulation, accelerate tissue repair, kill bacteria, and decrease inflammation. Most people require 2-10 treatments to obtain results. Treatments are usually performed 1-2 times per week for 30 min.

Sublative – Very effective treatment for Acne Scar where fractional energy is delivered to the skin with minimal epidermal disruption, where it can produce a significant increase in both collagen and elastin. This treatment is safe and effective for ALL Skin Types, providing visible results and low downtime. The number of treatments varies, it is usually between 3-5 treatments spaced approximately 4 weeks apart.

What Causes Acne?

Face, chest and back acne have the same root causes – a combination of dead skin cells, oil produced by the skin (called sebum), and bacteria  called Propionibacterium acnes (P. acne).  When P. acne bacteria builds up in pores, skin becomes inflamed, leading to form pimples and cysts on the skin.
