The Procedure
- 1
Skin Assessment
Our medically trained professionals conduct a comprehensive analysis to identify your acne type, severity, and contributing factors, allowing us to create a personalized treatment strategy.
- 2
Cleansing & Prep
The skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepared with targeted exfoliation to clear pores and maximize the effectiveness of the treatment.
- 3
Acne Treatment Application
Depending on your specific needs, we apply laser therapy, LED light therapy, chemical peels, or professional extractions to target active breakouts, inflammation, and bacteria. For laser sessions, we use the GentleMax Pro Plus, a dual-wavelength system (755 nm Alexandrite and 1064 nm Nd:YAG) that safely treats both light and deep skin tones across the full Fitzpatrick I–VI range without causing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Optional Hydrafacial
A Hydrafacial may be incorporated to deeply cleanse, extract congestion, and infuse anti-inflammatory and healing serums for enhanced results.
- 5
Post-Treatment Plan
Customized home care recommendations and a timeline for follow-up sessions are provided to ensure sustained clearance and prevent future breakouts. Because Calgary's dry, high-altitude climate weakens the skin barrier and can prolong redness after treatment, we tailor a non-comedogenic hydration and barrier-recovery routine to your skin type so results hold up against local conditions.
Acne Treatment by Type
Cystic & Hormonal Acne
Cystic and hormonal acne form deep beneath the skin's surface, which is why over-the-counter creams rarely touch them. Our approach combines laser therapy to calm inflammation at the follicle level with extractions and peels timed to reduce recurring breakouts — often tied to hormonal cycles, stress, or PCOS-related skin changes. We'll walk you through what's driving your specific pattern before recommending a plan.
Teen Acne
Teenage skin changes fast, and what works for an adult's skin can be too aggressive for a 14-year-old's. Our teen-focused protocols use gentler concentrations and shorter treatment series, paired with simple home-care routines that are actually realistic for a teenager to stick to.
Adult Acne
Adult acne often has different triggers than the acne of your teenage years — stress, hormonal shifts, skincare product buildup, or even mask-wearing and helmet use. We assess what's actually causing breakouts now, not what caused them a decade ago, and build a plan that fits an adult skincare routine and schedule.
Body Acne (Back & Chest)
Back and chest acne ("bacne") is one of the most under-treated forms of acne because it's hard to reach and easy to ignore — until it scars. We offer targeted laser and peel treatments for body acne that go beyond what a facial-focused routine can address.
Ideal Candidates
Acne treatment in Calgary is suitable for teenagers and adults dealing with any form of acne, from occasional breakouts to persistent cystic acne. It's also ideal for those with acne scarring or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation seeking effective laser treatment solutions. Perfect for individuals who want professional-grade treatment beyond over-the-counter products at Calgary's best skincare & laser clinic. Best results are achieved by patients committed to following the recommended treatment plan and home care routine.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to see results from acne treatment?
Initial improvement may be seen within 2-4 weeks, with significant clearing typically occurring after 6-12 weeks of consistent treatment. Severe acne may require 3-6 months for optimal results.
Will acne treatment work for hormonal acne?
Yes, our treatments are effective for hormonal acne. We may recommend specific treatments timed with your cycle and suggest complementary approaches for long-term management.
Can you treat acne scars at the same time as active acne?
We typically focus on clearing active acne first, then address scarring. However, some treatments like chemical peels can help with both concerns simultaneously.
Is there any downtime with acne treatments?
Most acne treatments have minimal downtime. You may experience mild redness or peeling for 1-3 days after chemical peels. We'll provide specific aftercare instructions for each treatment.
What's the difference between professional and at-home acne treatments?
Professional treatments use higher concentrations of active ingredients and advanced technologies not available for home use. We can also customize treatments based on your specific acne type and skin condition.
How does laser acne treatment compare to topical acids or Accutane?
Laser therapy uses focused light energy instead of systemic drugs or harsh topical acids to destroy bacteria and soothe sebaceous glands, avoiding severe dryness or internal side effects.
Is GentleMax Pro Plus laser treatment safe for darker skin tones?
Yes. GentleMax Pro Plus incorporates a 1064 nm Nd:YAG wavelength, which safely bypasses surface melanin to treat active acne in darker skin types without hyperpigmentation risk.
What is the downtime for laser acne treatments in Calgary?
Downtime is minimal. Most clients experience temporary mild redness or warmth for a few hours following the session.
