Acne & Acne Scars

About the Condition

Acne and acne scars can be frustrating, affecting not only your skin but also your confidence. Whether you’re struggling with active breakouts, post-inflammatory redness, or stubborn scars, our advanced IPL treatments provide an effective solution. This non-invasive approach helps to reduce acne-causing bacteria, minimize inflammation, and stimulate skin renewal, leading to clearer, smoother skin. With customized treatment plans, we target both active acne and past scarring to restore a more even, healthy complexion.

THE BENEFITS:

  • Minimizes Active Acne & Inflammation
    Targets acne-causing bacteria and reduces inflammation, helping to control breakouts and calm irritated skin.
  • Reduces Post-Inflammatory Redness
    Fades redness and discolouration left behind by previous breakouts, promoting a more even skin tone.
  • Helps Prevent Future Breakouts
    Regulates oil production and clears clogged pores, reducing the likelihood of new acne forming.
  • Fades Acne Scars & Hyperpigmentation
    Stimulates collagen production to repair acne scars, smooth skin texture, and improve overall clarity.
  • Reduces Redness & Broken Capillaries from Rosacea
    Helps calm the appearance of visible blood vessels and redness commonly associated with rosacea.
  • Improves Skin Texture & Smoothness
    Resurfaces the skin for a softer, more even complexion by reducing rough patches and indentations.
  • Non-Invasive with Minimal Downtime
    Unlike harsh peels or invasive procedures, laser treatments work beneath the skin without excessive peeling or irritation.
  • Customizable for Different Acne Concerns
    Treatments are tailored to suit mild to severe acne, as well as various skin types and concerns.

How it Works?

This treatment uses IPL technology to target acne-causing bacteria, inflammation, and redness, while the Frax Laser helps to stimulate collagen and resurface acne scars. The combination of light and thermal energy works to destroy bacteria, reduce oil production, and fade scars, leaving the skin clearer and healthier over time.

Treatment Areas

  • Face
    Treats active acne, redness, and scars to restore a balanced, even-toned complexion.
  • Neck & Chest
    Helps reduce acne breakouts, redness, and post-acne discolouration in common breakout areas.
  • Back & Shoulders
    Targets body acne, scars, and inflammation for smoother, blemish-free skin.

What to Expect?

Side Effects:
Some mild redness, warmth, or slight swelling may occur immediately after treatment, typically resolving within a few hours to a day. Temporary dryness or light peeling may also be experienced as the skin renews itself.

After Treatment Care:

  • Use a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated.
  • Apply broad-spectrum SPF 50 daily to protect the skin and prevent post-inflammatory pigmentation.
  • Avoid picking or touching the skin to prevent further irritation.
  • Refrain from using harsh exfoliants, retinol, or active ingredients for a few days post-treatment.
  • Keep the skin clean and oil-free, by following a proper skincare routine.

Reviews From Our Happy Clients

“The Oxygen facial itself was nothing short of amazing. Denisha was thorough, ensuring every step of the process was carefully explained, and she tailored the treatment to my specific skin needs..”

I recently had the pleasure of receiving an Oxygen facial, and I cannot express enough how impressed I was with the outstanding customer service and professionalism throughout the entire experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by Christina with warmth and attentiveness, which made me feel incredibly welcome.

 

Overall, the experience was exceptional. The combination of top-notch service, professionalism, and an incredible facial treatment has left me with glowing skin and a lasting impression. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a truly rejuvenating experience.

“Finally I did an oxygenio facial with Rabiie. It was great for my skin after a couple months in the summer and left me looking fresh and rejuvenated..”

I just did my first Russian manicure with Anastasiya and all I can say is WOW. I’ve been doing shellac manicures for years now and it has almost become a burden to schedule it every 2 weeks because the shellac always peels and looks grown out after about a week. My manicure with Anastasiya was impeccable. She spent her time making sure my cuticles were impeccable and then took her time doing the shellac. I’ve never had a more perfect manicure. It’s been a few weeks now and it still looks great! It takes a little bit longer (1.5 hours) but totally worth the time and money if I only have to go every month or so.

 

All in all, a great couple of hours spent pampering myself at this spa. The space is gorgeous and makes it easy to relax (something I rarely get as a mom of 3).

 

Highly recommend!

- Marina Hanna

“Definitely now my go-to recommendation for nails! Had a pedicure with Binoda and she was absolutely amazing.”

On the pricier side for a pedicure (expected for Liberty Village of course), but worth every penny as someone who works 10+ hours on their feet everyday and hasn’t gotten anywhere close to this type of treatment at your typical nail salon.

 

Customer service is also amazing, a woman came in during my treatment and I happened to overhear the conversation. She was very rude and confrontational right from the start, the employee at the desk handled the entire interaction a heck of a lot better than I would’ve if I were her.
10/10 overall!

“If you’ve never tried it, it’s worth every penny and you won’t understand the difference until you try it. ”

CURES Beaute is by far the best nail place I’ve been to in Toronto!! Being originally from New York City and having tried a lot of nail places in my lifetime, I would say I’m pretty picky. Anastasia is the absolutely best and gave me my first life-changing Russian manicure, and I now go back regularly for one

 

She has a level of detail and precision like no other technician I’ve been to, her care is top notch, she’s kind, and I leave with the most impeccable nails!! The way she cuts your cuticles prevents that annoying thing that happens with a gel manicure where you start to have a space between the cuticle and nail color as your nails grow. If Anastasia isn’t available, Emilie is also very good and sweet! Customer service from both is 10/10!

- Erin Switzer

“The level of care and detail she put into my manicure was out of this world, she also shaped and painted my nails beautifully.”

Wow – Not to be dramatic but I got my nails done by Disha, and she gave me hands down the BEST manicure of my entire life. Not kidding.

 

She really listened to what I was asking for, and, gave great advice as well. If that’s not enough she was also so kind and lovely as well. CURES overall was a great experience – super cleanly, super professional. Top level experience for an appropriate price. Never thought I’d “have a nail place”, but I will only be going to CURES moving forward, and asking for Disha every time!
