Active Acne Treatment in Montreal & Laval

The active acne treatment at IPL Lab Medispa is a customized, professional course designed to calm active breakouts, reduce oil and congestion, and support clearer, healthier-looking skin. This ten-session package is our most complete option, ideal for ongoing control with maintenance built in. Every session is tailored to your skin at our Montreal and Laval medispa, and the course works alongside good home care and, where needed, your physician’s acne care. It pairs naturally with our wider range of rejuvenating facial treatments.

How the active acne treatment works

At each visit, your specialist tailors the active acne treatment to your skin on the day, typically combining a deep but gentle cleanse, careful extractions where appropriate, a targeted treatment step (such as a professional exfoliation or peel to help clear congestion), and a soothing, calming finish. The aim is to help reduce the appearance of active breakouts, manage excess oil, and smooth and clarify the skin over a course. These professional facials complement — and do not replace — medical acne care; for persistent or severe acne we recommend also seeing a dermatologist or physician.

What to expect over ten sessions

Active acne treatment results build gradually and cumulatively. Sessions are typically spaced two to three weeks apart, and this complete ten-session course is designed to keep skin consistently calmer, clearer and less congested over time, with maintenance built in. Skin can occasionally look slightly more reactive early in a course as congestion clears; mild dryness or temporary breakouts can occur. Daily broad-spectrum SPF and a gentle routine between sessions protect the skin and support your results.

Who it’s for

This course is well suited to anyone with mild-to-moderate active breakouts, oily or congested skin, or recurring blemishes who wants a professional, customized approach. A personalized consultation and skin analysis at our Montreal or Laval medispa maps out the right plan for your skin, and flags whether a referral to a dermatologist or physician is advisable for more severe or cystic acne.

Frequently asked questions

What is the active acne treatment?
It is a customized, specialist-led course of professional facials that combine deep cleansing, extractions, a targeted treatment step and a calming finish to help reduce the appearance of active breakouts and congestion over a series of sessions.

How many sessions of active acne treatment do I need?
Results build cumulatively, so a course works best. This ten-session package is our most complete option for ongoing control with maintenance built in; the six-session course is a balanced option and the three-session course a focused start. Your specialist will advise.

Is there downtime?
It depends on the steps used that day — a targeted exfoliation or peel may bring mild redness or light flaking for a day or two, while a gentle cleansing-and-extraction session has little to none. Your specialist explains the aftercare each visit.

Can the active acne treatment replace medication?
No. These facials are a supportive, cosmetic complement to medical care. For persistent, severe or cystic acne, we recommend seeing a dermatologist or physician alongside your sessions, and letting your specialist know about any acne medications you take.
