When Should You Visit A Dermatologist?

We all want smooth, healthy skin, and it can be frustrating when a problem crops up that doesn’t respond to any of the products you try. Sometimes, the best thing you can do for the long-term health and appearance of your skin is to enlist the help of an expert. Dermatologists and the aesthetic professionals at your favorite clinic know skin inside and out—literally. When you have a skin issue that persists no matter what you’ve tried, it’s time to book an appointment. They have the knowledge, skill, and equipment to ensure your complexion is clear, calm, and beautiful for a lifetime. Here are some common skin concerns and the treatments that a skin expert can provide to clear them up for good.  

Concern: Clogged Pores 

Enlarged, inflamed pores can be a sign that your skin is congested, irritated, or dehydrated. If your nightly cleansing routine isn’t removing all the products you use during the daytime, the built-up residue can cause problems and even prevent your skin from taking in the nutrients in your skin care. A gentle skin renewal treatment can restore your skin to a fresh canvas.

Solution: Skin Rejuvenation Treatments

Venus Glow™ uses water to open pores and pull dirt, excess oil, and impurities from below the skin’s surface, resulting in a more radiant, refreshed complexion. The micro-massaging tip then stimulates nutrients to spread through the derma layer and restore nourishment to tired, stressed skin. With the addition of 4 Venus Glow™ serums to choose from, you can also tackle specific aspects of the skin. It’s a fast, safe, and effective way to leave skin feeling noticeably healthier, cleaner, and more hydrated. 

Concern: Sun Damage

Dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and melasma can all be traced to too much sun exposure. If you, like most of us, aren’t perfect when it comes to sun care, you may have noticed early signs of sun damage when you look in the mirror. Photoaging is an unavoidable part of life, but modern medical aesthetics technology can do a lot to halt, and even reverse signs of sun damage.

Solution: Photofacial Treatments

Photofacial treatments are a safe, non-surgical way to improve the look of aging and discoloration due to sun damage, Using Intense Pulsed Light technology to rejuvenate skin from beneath the surface, photofacials reinvigorate the skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin, and improves skin tone and texture for a radiant, younger-looking appearance.

Concern: Ingrown Hairs 

Shaving, waxing, threading, and plucking can all cause ingrown hairs to form. Painful and unsightly, ingrown hairs are a common skin issue that no one should have to deal with. Some people are more susceptible to them than others. The good news is you can avoid ingrown hairs and the stress of getting rid of unwanted hair for good thanks to hair removal treatments

Solution: Hair Removal Treatments

Venus Epileve™ and Venus Velocity™ hair removal treatments work by gently focusing laser energy on the hair follicles. This energy is then absorbed by the hair pigment, heating and destroying the follicle at the root so that it can’t grow hair anymore. The treatments are quick, comfortable, and effective for both the face and body and are safe for all skin types.

Concern: Acne

Acne is one of the most common skin concerns in North America affecting both men and women into adulthood. It can be discouraging to have to deal with it repeatedly, especially when medication and topical products have failed you. Dealing with acne properly and effectively is important so that you can get your confidence back, and avoid any long-term effects such as scarring. 

Solution: IPL Acne Treatments 

Venus Concept's Venus Versa™ acne treatments use pulsed light to heal existing acne-related inflammation while destroying acne-causing bacteria throughout the layers of the skin. This helps to minimize future breakouts and protect against scarring. Acne treatments deliver noticeably smoother, healthier-looking skin, with the added benefit of never having to deal with blemishes or smelly creams again.
