Acne & Blemishes

End the battle against acne

Acne is a common but frustrating skin condition that impacts people of all ages. In many cases, acne is thought to be genetic, and its side effects—including blemishes, whitehead, blackheads, oily skin or even scarring—can cause considerable distress to those affected.

Our talented and professional team of experts will tailor a treatment plan and at-home routine to help you reach your goals.

BLU-U Light Therapy

BLU-U Light Therapy is a specific blue light wavelength that kills the bacteria that cause skin to break out. BLU-U Light Therapy is an effective way to address moderate acne, and for some patients can be an alternative to medication.

Interested in BLU-U Light?

These treatments are safe and painless, and don’t require any downtime. Once your session has ended, you can carry on with your activities as normal. In most cases, the course of treatment takes place over five weeks, and sessions last for 30 minutes each, once or twice a week.

Who is it most recommended for?

BLU-U Light Therapy is ideal for individuals dealing with acne, rosacea, or breakouts. It’s particularly beneficial for those with difficult-to-control or moderate acne, as well as mild to moderate skin conditions. This gentle, non-invasive treatment is perfect for those seeking a safe, long-term solution without the side effects of oral medications.

Peels

Chemical peels can be an effective treatment for acne. They work by exfoliating the outer layer of the skin, which helps to unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and promote the growth of new, healthy skin cells.

See our clinical skin therapies for more information.

Curious About How Chemical Peels Can Help Your Skin?

At Vitality Medi Spa, we offer a variety of chemical peels tailored to suit different skin types and acne severity. Each peel is designed to exfoliate, rejuvenate, and refresh your skin, leaving you with a smoother and healthier appearance.
Chemical peels work by exfoliating the skin’s outermost layers, making it easier for new skin to emerge and reducing acne lesions.

Who is it most recommended for?

Chemical peels are suitable for a wide range of individuals looking to improve the appearance and texture of their skin. Whether you’re dealing with mild scarring, superficial wrinkles, acne, or uneven pigmentation, a chemical peel can help reveal smoother, more radiant skin. This treatment is especially effective for those with fair skin but can benefit a variety of skin types looking for enhanced clarity and tone.

Photo Rejuvenation

Photo Rejuvenation is an advanced treatment that uses gentle pulses of light to target acne, redness, and skin imperfections, helping to restore clarity and balance to your complexion. This non-invasive procedure works by stimulating your skin’s natural healing processes to promote smoother, healthier-looking skin.

Ready to Restore Your Skin’s Clarity with Photo Rejuvenation?

Photo Rejuvenation works by delivering controlled light energy to your skin, helping to target acne-causing bacteria and reduce inflammation. The process helps to decrease the appearance of active breakouts while improving skin texture over time. Sessions are quick, comfortable, and typically involve no downtime, so you can easily fit them into your busy schedule.

This treatment not only addresses current acne, but also helps to prevent future breakouts by balancing oil production and reducing the factors that contribute to acne formation.

Who is it most recommended for?

Photo Rejuvenation is ideal for individuals struggling with chronic sun damage, rosacea, or uneven skin tone. It’s also a great option for those with mild to moderate acne who want to improve their overall complexion. If you’re looking for a gentle, non-invasive treatment that helps restore your skin’s natural clarity and glow, this could be the perfect option for you.

Photodynamic Therapy & Multi-Dynamic Therapy

Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) and Multi-Dynamic Therapy (MDT) are advanced light-based treatments designed to target a variety of skin concerns, including acne, pigmentation issues, and even pre-cancerous lesions. These treatments use a combination of light energy and prescription photosensitizing agents to improve skin texture, reduce inflammation, and promote overall skin health.

Both therapies address superficial and deeper layers of the skin, offering a comprehensive approach to treat stubborn acne, rosacea, and other skin conditions that haven’t responded well to other treatments.

Looking to Take Your Acne Treatment to the Next Level with PDT & MDT?

Photodynamic Therapy is a two-stage process that uses a prescription topical photosensitizing agent along with targeted light energy. This treatment has been a gold standard for managing acne and other difficult-to-treat skin conditions. It works by reducing the size of oil glands, soothing inflammation, and promoting skin rejuvenation.

On the other hand, Multi-Dynamic Therapy combines two types of light energy with a photosensitizing agent, allowing for deeper skin penetration. This dual approach improves acne, pigmentation, rosacea, and sun damage.

Both treatments are typically quick and effective, with minimal downtime. After treatment, our team will provide a personalized post-care routine to enhance and maintain your results.

Who is it most recommended for?

These treatments are ideal for individuals who have persistent acne, rosacea, or other difficult-to-treat skin conditions. PDT is particularly beneficial for those who have struggled with acne treatments in the past, while Multi-Dynamic Therapy is a fantastic choice for those seeking long-term solutions to a combination of skin concerns, including pigmentation and texture issues.
