Acne Treatment in Montreal & Laval.

We treat acne as a skin condition, not a single product. Depending on whether your breakouts are hormonal, cystic, teen, or adult, we combine deep-cleansing acne facials, chemical peels, microneedling for scarring, and targeted PicoSure laser work - and we tell you honestly what each will and will not do. All four of our Montreal and Laval clinics (Downtown, Saint-Leonard, West Island/DDO, and Laval) use the same protocols, certified technicians, and transparent pricing, and every plan starts with a free consultation. That evidence-based, no-hype approach is why clients rate us among the best acne clinics in Montreal and Laval.

Our clinic is at 1655 boul. de l'Avenir in Chomedey, Laval — easy to reach from across Montreal, Laval, Saint-Léonard, and the West Island, with parking on site. You can find us on Google Maps here. Call us at 1-888-808-0955 or book online any time. We treat acne clients from Chomedey, Fabreville, Vimont, Sainte-Rose, and throughout Greater Montreal.

It depends on what stage your acne is at. Deep-cleansing facials with LED are best for active breakouts, blackheads, and congestion. Acne peels (salicylic, glycolic, mandelic) go deeper to clear stubborn acne, regulate oil, and fade post-acne marks. Microneedling is for the scars and indented texture left after acne has cleared. Many clients do a combination over time — facials and peels to clear, then microneedling to resurface. At your free skin analysis we'll map the exact sequence for your skin.

Yes. We treat the full range of acne — teen and adult acne, hormonal breakouts along the jaw and chin, persistent cystic acne, and body acne including back acne (bacne). Inflamed cystic and hormonal acne is approached gently with deep cleansing, LED, anti-acne peels, and soothing treatments to calm inflammation, while we address what's driving it. Severe cystic acne can also benefit from co-management with a dermatologist, and we'll advise if that's recommended during your consultation.

Many clients notice clearer, calmer skin after their first deep-cleansing facial, but lasting results come from a series. For active acne and peels we usually recommend a course of 4 to 6 sessions spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart, then maintenance. Acne-scar microneedling is typically done as 3 to 6 sessions about 4 weeks apart, as new collagen builds gradually. You save 20% when you buy a package of three. At your free consultation we'll give you a realistic timeline for your skin.

Yes — when done correctly. Darker and ethnic skin tones can absolutely benefit from acne treatment, but they carry a higher risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation if a peel is too aggressive. That's why our certified estheticians favour gentler, melanin-safe acids like mandelic, choose microneedling (which is safe for all tones), start at conservative strengths, and offer skin typing first. We have extensive experience treating the diverse skin tones across Montreal and Laval safely.

Yes. There are two things to fade after acne: marks and scars. Flat red or brown marks (PIE/PIH) respond to brightening peels, mandelic peels, and microneedling with vitamin C or niacinamide. Indented scars — ice-pick, rolling, and boxcar — need collagen-building microneedling, including our advanced DP4 protocol for deeper scarring, or a localized spot treatment for one or two isolated scars. We treat the active acne first so new breakouts don't undo the resurfacing work.

Acne facials start at $115 for our Express Facial Peel, with the Deep Cleansing Facial with LED, European Facial, and Soothing Jelly Mask Treatment at $135. Anti-acne and brightening peels are $155, and salicylic, glycolic, and mandelic peels are priced from consultation. Acne-scar microneedling is $235, with a localized spot treatment at $155 and Hydradermabrasion Bela MD+ at $185. New clients get $25 off their first visit, and you save 20% on a package of three.

Pause Strong Actives

Stop retinoids, AHAs/BHAs, and strong exfoliating actives for 5 to 7 days before a peel or microneedling so your skin is calm and treats evenly.

Avoid Sun & Tanning

Keep skin out of direct sun and avoid tanning for at least a week beforehand. Sun-stressed or burned skin cannot be peeled or needled safely.

Skip Waxing & Hair Removal

No waxing, threading, or laser on the treatment area for 5 to 7 days before, to prevent irritation and uneven results.

Tell Us Your History

Let us know about cold sores, recent procedures, acne treatments a doctor has you on, or pregnancy — this guides which acne treatment is safe for you.

Apply SPF 30+ Every Day

Treated skin is highly UV-sensitive and pigments easily. Use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily — essential for fading post-acne marks and protecting darker tones.

Don't Pick or Squeeze

Let flaking skin shed on its own and never pick at breakouts. Picking is the leading cause of acne scarring and dark marks.

Keep It Gentle & Hydrated

Use only the soothing, non-comedogenic products we recommend. Avoid retinoids, acids, and scrubs until your skin has fully recovered.

No Heat or Sweat

Skip saunas, steam, hot yoga, and intense workouts for 48 to 72 hours after a peel or microneedling to keep skin calm while it renews.

Most teens and adults with active acne, blackheads and whiteheads, oily or congested skin, enlarged pores, hormonal or back acne, post-acne marks, or acne scars are excellent candidates. Our treatments suit all skin types and, with the right protocol, all skin tones. Some treatments may be postponed for active cold sores, broken or sunburned skin, recent oral acne therapy, or pregnancy — your esthetician will confirm what's safe during your free skin analysis.

Yes — combining is how we get the best results. We often clear active acne first with deep-cleansing facials and acne peels, then resurface scars with Microneedling, and pair with Laser Skin Rejuvenation for stubborn pigment. Your esthetician at our boul. de l'Avenir clinic in Chomedey will sequence everything safely so treatments complement rather than over-stress your skin.
