Acne (also known as acne vulgaris, pimples, zits, blackheads, whiteheads) is a common skin problem. Acne is usually seen on the face but may also occur on the chest and back. It is an inflammatory disease of the hair follicle/oil gland and occurs when oils (sebum) are overproduced by active glands, especially during puberty or other phases when you’re under the influence of increased and fluctuating hormone levels.
In addition to the excess oil production, build up of skin cells block follicles to cause blackheads and/or whiteheads. The presence of bacteria then leads to the development of inflamed bumps, pustules or cysts. Factors such as hormones, diet, sweating, stress, environmental toxins may influence acne in some individuals.
Aside from the inflammation, the side effects of acne can be significant and include: acne scarring, discolouration, embarrassment and psychological impact on your self esteem.

An initial consultation with Dr. Jane Burk-Vassallo and her healthcare team will cover a wide range of the best in-class therapies for healthy skin. The health practitioners of aspireMD will determine the best approach to improve your skin, creating a unique program for each individual. From Medically Advanced Skincare to medical peels and laser procedures, the aspireMD Acne Program will bring back a smile that radiates throughout your being, to express confidence in every aspect of your life.
After your initial consultation, when all your questions have been answered and you are comfortable with the treatment plan; your informed consent will be obtained.

Your photographs will be kept with the same strict confidentiality as the rest of your medical records.
Beginning with our Active Acne Program, your skin will benefit from Dr. Jane’s guidance through a combination of therapies which may include Medically Advanced Daily Skincare products, SilkPeel Dermalinfusions with acne targeting serum, Active Acne Laser, Blu-U Treatments and prescriptions.
When your active acne has settled, the aspireMD team will assist you in erasing any taunting scar reminders through our Acne Scar Minimizing Program. Generally acne scars are either colour based (red or brown marks) or texture irregularities (bumps, indentations or divots).
The aspireMD treatment methods that are best for you will be determined during your one on one consultation.
It is important to remember the best treatment of acne scars is to prevent them. Dr. Jane’s advice is to treat your active pimples quickly and effectively as well as avoid picking them.
Dr. Jane also reminds you that very often, acne scarring is seen as more severe by the person with the scarring than by others. Practicing self-love and self-acceptance is an awesome starting point.
