Acne
Do you have acne/acne scars? Do your kids have acne? If so, we would like to give you something to think about. We use braces to correct or prevent crooked teeth… So shouldn’t we do what we can for Acne? The confidence that comes with having clear, smooth, blemish-free skin is just as important as a nice smile, don’t you think? The value is comparable but the cost is far less. Acne is a common skin condition that affects many people at some point during their lives. It is a complex and continuous cycle that can be caused by many factors, resulting in a hormonal fluctuation that stimulates oil production. It is most common in adolescents but can be experienced at any age and range from mild to severe. Too often, people squeeze spots and blemishes because of their unpleasant appearance. Unfortunately, the habit can increase inflammation and in extreme cases lead to permanent results.
FAQ
Acne occurs when the oil glands respond abnormally to levels of the male hormone testosterone. Excess oil is produced which combines with dead skin cells on the top layer of the skin.
A sticky mixture is formed which blocks the skin pores, trapping oil and bacteria inside. As the oil glands continue to produce excess oil the follicle begins to swell producing blackheads, pimples, spots, and whiteheads.
It is common during adolescence but can strike anyone at any age. Acne is more common among teenagers because it is only with the onset of puberty that the body begins to produce hormones.
Vancouver Medi Spa treats Grades 1 to 3 effectively and safely with results. Our faces and bodies are covered with tiny hairs that fit into a hair follicle or ‘pore’. Deep within these pores are glands that produce a natural oil called ‘sebum’. Sebum’s function is to keep the skin lubricated and prevent it from drying out.
Typical treatments for acne include a variety of over-the-counter and prescription lotions and solutions that include antibiotics, retinoids, and vitamin A derivatives. Some patients benefit from the use of peels that use glycolic or salicylic acids but these can cause dryness of the skin and irritation.
Additionally, oral treatments include drugs that inhibit the production of acne-causing hormones while in women the use of the oral contraceptive pill has shown to help lessen acne.

I have been dealing with acne and insecurities around my skin since I was a young girl, and I've tried everything! ...... Till I met Kam and her blessed Medi Spa. This woman is more than an aesthetician, she cares deeply about who I am and gives it her all to provide the best results--WHICH ARE MIRACULOUS! Thank you Vancouver Medi Spa, for your humble, warm, and delivering clinic. Laser is amazing, and Kam provides a plethora of education from A to Z. My face is now clear after 2 sessions...Something I dreamed of having since a young girl. The place is so clean, and filled with positivity. I especially love the ambiance of music and mantras that play in her spa during the sessions. She truly goes above and beyond to make her clients happy. :) Top laser medi spa in Vancouver for sure!!!!! Won't anything like this anywhere else. God Bless!

This review is for genuine knoweldge and kindness of kam. I went there for consultation and to get skin treatment but kam instead suggested i need to focus on my diet and be healthy from inside. She did not try to grab money like other estheticians. She suggested i should come back again once i get on track with my diet. Manu Wr2024-02-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been getting laser treatments from Kam for the past few months. She is incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and professional. I’ve had laser treatments in the past that haven’t worked, so I was worried about investing in more. However, Kam did multiple test patches to see how my skin/ hair would react before charging me for any full treatments. I’m happy with my progress so far and can’t say enough good things about Kam! Isabel Gittins2023-12-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kam is super professional she knows what she is doing. Also she makes you feel so comfortable and welcomed. I’d recommend to anyone her clinic. Don’t hesitate to contact her. Monika Dienes2023-12-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just love how Kam takes care of me, she really did great on my skin. Now I'm smooth as butter no need to shave. She even advised me on how to take care of my skin properly. I will definitely come back and highly recommend Vancouver Medispa.
