Acne is a very common condition caused by the inflammation of grease-producing glands in the skin, leaving blocked pores (blackheads and whiteheads) and inflamed red papules (spots.)
Acne treatment is very important for several reasons. Not only does acne temporarily affect your physical appearance and some people's confidence, but it can lead to permanent scarring if deeper cysts are left untreated.
At our Calgary skin care clinic, we offer effective acne scarring treatment options such as dermal fillers and microdermabrasion to quickly and safely clear up your skin.

Acne Treatment Options
Whether you have mild or severe acne, there are a number of acne and acne scarring treatments available at our Calgary skin clinic to cater to the needs of all our patients.
These include:
- Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are a minimally-invasive and effective way to treat and potentially get rid of certain types of acne scars including rolling, icepick and boxcar scars
|
How does the dermal filler acne scar treatment work? |
The dermal fillers are gel-like substances that are injected into the scars to smooth them. They help soften acne scars, eventually blending them with your normal skin for a smoother, clearer complexion |
| How is the dermal filler treatment performed? |
This acne scar treatment is done at our Calgary clinic. Prior to the treatment, a topical anesthetic cream is applied to the treatment area. Using an ultra-fine needle, the dermal filler is injected into the damaged skin. The gel acts to support injured skin tissue while adding volume for improved texture. |
| How long will the treatment take? | Depending on the size and number of scars, a full session of injecting dermal fillers can take up to 60 minutes. |
| What results can I expect from this acne scarring treatment? |
You will be able to return to your normal activities immediately after the dermal filler treatment. The results will be visible immediately but the appearance of scars will improve significantly over the next few days after the treatment. |
- Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is the process of removing the top layers of the skin using a wand tipped with diamonds. This encourages the growth of new, healthy skin cells, giving you a much smoother and clearer complexion by eliminating visible acne scars.
| How does microdermabrasion acne scarring treatment Work? | Using a handpiece called the DiamondTome, our microdermabrasion specialist will gently and effectively exfoliate the damaged top layer of your skin to reveal clear, healthier skin below. |
| How long will the microdermabrasion treatment take? | Depending on the size and location of the treatment site as well as the severity of the acne, this acne scarring treatment can take between 15-30 minutes. |
| How many microdermabrasion treatments will I need? | For best results, most patients typically require, 4-10 sessions spaced a week apart. |
| What results can I expect from Microdermabrasion? |
You will notice clearer, smoother skin after just one treatment. However, results will become more dramatic and improved after each successive microdermabrasion session. |
