Acne and Acne Scar Treatments in Toronto
Say Goodbye to Acne and Acne Scars with Expert Care
Are you struggling with persistent acne or scars that won’t fade? At Emerald Skin Lab in Toronto, we specialize in personalized acne and acne scar treatments designed to restore your skin's natural beauty.
Acne is a common skin condition characterized by clogged pores, excess oil, and bacterial buildup, leading to pimples, blackheads, or cysts.
Acne scars are the visible marks or indentations left behind after severe or untreated acne, often requiring professional treatments like Laser Acne therapy, microneedling, or chemical peels for effective removal.
What is this?
-
Blackheads
Blackheads are caused by clogged pores exposed to air, resulting in small dark spots.
-
Whiteheads
Whiteheads form when oil and dead skin cells clog pores, appearing as small white bumps.
-
Pustules
Pustules are inflamed, pus-filled pimples with a red base and white or yellow center.
-
Cystic Acne
Cystic acne is a severe type of acne with deep, painful, pus-filled bumps that can cause scarring.
“Clearer skin is achievable with the help of advanced acne treatments that target acne at its source. These treatments regulate oil production, unclog pores, and reduce inflammation, restoring your skin’s natural balance for a healthier, radiant appearance. Advanced care prevents future breakouts and promotes lasting skin health.”
Did You Know?
What are the Causes?
Hormonal Changes
Hormonal fluctuations, such as during puberty, pregnancy, or menstrual cycles, can increase oil production in the skin. This excess oil clogs pores, creating an ideal environment for bacteria growth, which often leads to acne breakouts and inflammation.
Lifestyle
Unhealthy diets high in sugar and processed foods can trigger acne, as can stress, lack of sleep, and sedentary lifestyles. These factors disrupt hormone levels and inflammation responses, contributing to clogged pores and persistent acne formation.
Bacterial Overgrowth
The presence of Cutibacterium acnes bacteria in clogged pores can lead to inflammation and acne development. Poor hygiene, sweat, and improper skincare routines exacerbate bacterial growth, worsening pimples and inflamed skin.
Skin Type
Some individuals are genetically predisposed to produce excess sebum, leading to frequent acne breakouts. Additionally, oily skin types are more prone to clogged pores, while sensitive skin may react negatively to certain products, aggravating acne further.

In order to stimulate the healing process, the wound must first be properly cared for. This includes cleaning, disinfection, moisturization and the application of sterile dressings chosen according to the cause and severity of the lesion: healing should not be left to chance.
-
The new skin created by the healing process is thinner and younger than on the rest of the body; it is therefore more sensitive to the harmful effects of the sun. In order to reduce the appearance of the scar, it is essential to protect it from UVA and UVB rays by applying an appropriate sunscreen and covering it as much as possible until it heals completely.
