Compared to the risks of treating acne with medical prescriptions, the risks of what we offer at our clinic are almost nil. At most, you may be a little red from a microdermabrasion, HydraFacial or a mild laser peel. A chemical peel is meant to cause your topmost layer of skin to shed considerably, so you should expect that to happen. Good skincare products would only be an issue if you happen to be allergic to their ingredients. That said, some of our more intense laser treatments, such as a fractional CO2 laser resurfacing session, or a Fraxel DUAL treatment, can require some dedicated healing time. These treatments are limited to the dermis (i.e. your skin). Their potential side effects are rare, too. If they happen, they are more along the lines of fixable discolouration issues, rather than affecting organs and your body’s biological processes. We encourage you to read more about each of our acne treatments at the links mentioned above. Explanations on possible side effects are given in their descriptions. Plus, during your initial consultation with us, we will go over more details pertaining to your treatment, and its factors for success.
