  Acne Treatment Kelowna

  Symptoms of acne include whiteheads and blackheads, painful red bumps that are called papules or pustules, or in more severe cases, large nodules or cysts that form under the skin and cause discomfort and scarring. Acne is most common in teenagers but can affect people of any age. Breakouts occur most often on the face, but can develop anywhere on the body including back, chest and arms as well.

  Acne can cause emotional and social hardships for teenagers and adults alike, affecting their work and school, relationships and extra curricular activities. Whether symptoms are mild or severe, those affected often feel unable to interact with confidence due to their condition, while those with acne on their bodies tend to avoid sports and physical activities that would reveal their condition. Add to this, if left untreated can cause permanent scarring of the skin, and it is easy to see why professional skin care is a must for acne patients.

  At Cerulean Medical Institute, we have successfully treated many patients with acne to give them beautiful, healthy looking skin they are proud to show off. Using a combination of topical creams, oral medications, medical grade chemical peels, dermal fillers, lasers and advanced technologies we help our patients to look and feel their best.
