Acne and Acne Scar Treatments Offered at Ideal Body Clinic Montreal

Acne is a common skin condition that affects people of all ages—not just teenagers. It occurs due to clogged pores, excess oil production, bacteria, and inflammation. Factors like hormones, stress, diet, and genetics can also trigger acne. Whether it appears on the face, back, chest, or shoulders, acne can impact your confidence and leave behind stubborn scars.

At Ideal Body Clinic, we specialize in advanced treatments to target both active acne and acne scars. Our expert team provides personalized care to help you achieve clear, healthy, and glowing skin. Here’s a breakdown of the powerful treatments we offer:

Treatments for Active Acne

1. AviClear

AviClear is the first and only FDA-approved laser specifically designed to treat mild to severe acne. This breakthrough technology targets and suppresses the sebaceous (oil) glands, reducing oil production and preventing future breakouts. AviClear offers a long-term solution without the need for harsh medications and comes with minimal downtime. 

At Ideal Body Clinic, we are a certified provider of AviClear, ensuring the highest standards of care and expertise. Our team has completed specialized training and received certification at Cutera Academy. If you’re looking to achieve long-lasting, visible improvements, contact us today to book your personalized consultation. We are here to help you on your journey to a more confident you!

2. Chemical Peels

Our medical-grade chemical peels, such as salicylic acid or BioRePeel, deeply exfoliate the skin to unclog pores, kill acne-causing bacteria, and reduce inflammation. These peels also help fade dark spots and acne scars, leaving your skin smoother and more even-toned.

3. Fotona Laser Acne Treatment

Fotona Laser is a non-invasive treatment that addresses both active acne and acne scars. It works by killing Propionibacterium acnes (the bacteria responsible for acne), reducing oil production, and stimulating collagen for healthier skin. This treatment is ideal for those with acne-prone or post-acne skin.

 

Treatments for Acne Scars

Acne scars come in various forms, and Ideal Body Clinic offers customized solutions for each type. Here’s a closer look at the types of scars and the best treatments for them:

1. Atrophic Scars (Indented Scars)

These scars occur when there’s a loss of tissue during the healing process. They are the most common type of acne scars and include:

  • Ice Pick Scars: Deep, narrow scars resembling small holes or punctures.
    Best treatments: Microneedling RF, CO2 Lase
  • Boxcar Scars: Broad, rectangular depressions with sharp edges.
    Best treatments: Microneedling RF, Laser Genesis, PRP + Microneedling.
  • Rolling Scars: Wide, shallow scars that create a wave-like texture on the skin.
    Best treatments: Microneedling RF,  Laser Resurfacing.

2. Hypertrophic & Keloid Scars (Raised Scars)

These scars form when the body produces too much collagen, resulting in thick, raised tissue.

  • Hypertrophic Scars: Raised but remain within the boundary of the original breakout.
  • Keloid Scars: Raised and extend beyond the original area.

Best treatments: Laser Therapy (e.g., Fotona)

3. Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)

PIH refers to dark spots left behind after acne heals, especially common in darker skin tones. These are not true scars but can still be bothersome.

Best treatments: Chemical Peels, Laser Genesis, JetPeel, Enlighten Laser, Brightening Skincare.

Our Advanced Acne Scar Treatments

Fotona Laser Resurfacing

Fotona Laser is a versatile treatment that targets both active acne and scars. It resurfaces the skin, reduces pigmentation, and smooths uneven texture by boosting collagen production and repairing the skin from within.

Microneedling RF

This treatment combines microneedling with radiofrequency to deeply stimulate collagen production and remodel scar tissue. It’s an excellent option for deep acne scars, large pores, and uneven skin texture.

 

Chemical Peels

Medical-grade peels exfoliate the skin’s surface and encourage skin renewal, improving the appearance of post-acne marks and scars. They are customized to your skin type and concerns for optimal results.

Laser Genesis

Laser Genesis is a gentle, non-invasive laser that stimulates collagen production to smooth acne scars, shrink pores, and improve overall skin tone. It’s safe for all skin types and requires no downtime, making it a convenient solution for busy individuals.

Enlighten

Enlighten is a cutting-edge laser treatment that helps improve the appearance of acne scars by targeting the skin’s deeper layers to promote collagen production and skin regeneration. Using a combination of nanosecond and picosecond pulses, the laser stimulates the skin to heal itself, smoothing out uneven texture and reducing discoloration caused by scarring. The treatment is effective for both atrophic scars (depressed scars) and hyperpigmentation, offering patients a non-invasive option to achieve clearer, more even skin with minimal downtime.
