acne & acne

Acne is a common skin condition which affects many individuals, both male and female. It often begins in the teenage years, when hormone levels increase, but it can also occur at any age. Symptoms of acne include oily skin, blackheads and whiteheads (comedones), pimples, cysts, pus-filled lesions and nodules. Acne can cause physical discomfort as well as psychological distress such as embarrassment or anxiety.


At Esthetics by Emi we are experts in treating acne with customized treatments to suit each patient's individual needs. We offer several options for treating acne including topical medications, laser therapy and chemical peels. Topical medications may be applied directly to the affected areas to reduce inflammation and clear blocked pores; these may be used alone or in combination with laser therapy. Laser therapy targets the underlying causes of acne, including bacteria and overactive oil glands. Chemical peels can also help to reduce inflammation, clear blocked pores and remove bacteria from the skin surface.


When it comes to treating acne scarring, Esthetics by Emi offers a variety of options depending on the severity of the scars. For mild scarring, we offer Microdermabrasion which is a form of exfoliation that removes the topmost layer of damaged skin cells and reveals healthier skin beneath them. This can help to give your skin an even tone and texture, as well as making it look brighter and smoother. We also offer chemical peels for deep exfoliation that can help to reduce the appearance of scars.


For more severe acne scarring, we offer laser treatments such as Fraxel or Clear + Brilliant which are designed to stimulate collagen production and improve the appearance of scars. We also offer a range of non-invasive procedures such as microneedling which creates micro-injuries in the skin surface that promotes healing while helping to fill in deep scars. In addition, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is available for cases where there is significant scarring; this treatment involves injecting a concentrated form of your own platelets into the affected areas which helps to accelerate healing and reduce scar tissue formation.


At Esthetics by Emi, we understand how uncomfortable it can be to live with acne and acne scarring. We are committed to providing effective treatments that help you achieve the clear, healthy skin you want. Our team of experienced professionals will work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that is tailored specifically to your needs and goals.
