Acne Treatment at Trillium Creek
Acne is most often induced by hormonal changes. Oil trapped in the sebaceous glands form plugs in the pores of the skin, causing whiteheads. If the pore remains open, the top surface of the plug becomes dark, causing a blackhead. Bacteria thrive in this environment, causing pimples. Left untreated, acne scarring can occur. When tissues are injured, the body rushes to repair the injury site. Among the elements of the repair are white blood cells and inflammatory molecules t...

IPL Treatments at Trillium Creek
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) uses high-intensity pulses of visible light to rejuvenate the skin. Although it is not an actual laser, IPL works in much the same way as lasers in that light energy is absorbed into particular cells in the skin. The light energy is converted to heat energy, which affects the target cells to achieve the desired results. IPL differs from laser treatment in that it causes minimal damage to the upper layer of skin. OVERVIEW IPL can improve the appearance of the skin...
