Innovations Acne Care is a unique and complete acne treatment system, built on years of experience and a wide array of safe, clinically proven treatments for both acne and acne-related scars. Because every patient’s skin is different, Innovations Acne Care starts with a free, personal consultation. This approach allows us to design a treatment regimen that will offer the best results for each patient, and gives our patients an opportunity to have a thorough understanding of the recommended treatments and possible outcomes.
Acne is an inflammatory disease of the skin. It is most common and severe in the teenage years but can continue into adulthood. Acne leads to skin redness, pimples and blackheads. When uncontrolled, acne can eventually lead to scarring. Innovations MedSpa offers a wide range of treatment options that can significantly reduce or eliminate acne in most cases. Recent advances in technology also offer several procedures that can reduce the appearance of acne scars and drastically improve the appearance of patients who have suffered from serious acne.
The Omnilux system delivers concentrated light in the precise wavelengths that destroy the bacteria that cause acne, and stimulate cells to help with the healing process and reduce the inflammation surrounding acne lesions.
Moisturizers, cleansers, peels and other topical products are an important tool in controlling acne. Innovations MedSpa carries a complete line of prescription and non-prescription cosmeceuticals, including topical retinoids.
Microdermabrasion removes dead skin and helps prevent and dislodge follicle plugs. When used as part of an acne treatment program, microdermabrasion can significantly enhance the clearing of active pimples.
Innovations MedSpa offers a wide variety of chemical peels suited to various skin types. Our newest offering, the VI Peel, is suitable for darker skin types, which were previously not treatable with peels.
Infra-red lasers such as Aramis reduce the size of sebaceous glands, decrease skin oiliness and decrease bacterial growth. Redness lasting a few minutes after the procedure and mild discomfort are side effects. Many patients respond to Aramis laser treatments even when they have failed to respond to other treatments.
