How to Treat Acne in Port Coquitlam

In a world that often seems obsessed with flawless skin, Acne Awareness Month encourages us to embrace the facts. It’s more common than not, and the best thing we can do is understand it and manage it. 

Approximately one in three people seeking medical help for acne are 25 years or older, challenging the misconception that acne is exclusively a teenage problem.

Almost one in five women and 3% of men experience adult acne, showing that this issue is not limited by age or gender. Genetics play a significant role though, with half of adult acne sufferers having a family member with a similar condition.

Acne can persist for years, leaving scarring in 95% of cases, highlighting the importance of effective management strategies. Acne affects a substantial portion of the population, with 5.6 million Canadians, half of the country’s populace, experiencing its challenges. Unsurprisingly 99% of cases target the face, making it a highly visible concern.

When we look at the numbers, it’s clear acne is a common condition, but the good news is that it’s manageable with the right treatments and home care. 

Our favourite treatments for addressing acne:

Chemical peels exfoliate the skin, unclog pores, and stimulate collagen, reducing acne and improving skin texture.

IPL treatments target acne bacteria, reducing inflammation, redness, and active lesions for a clearer complexion.

Morpheus8 promotes collagen production, addressing active acne and scars, offering tighter skin, making it effective for multiple acne-related concerns.
