Shine MD’s Acne Clinic offers comprehensive, physician-led care for acne and scar management. We take pride in offering treatments and technologies that are scientifically proven to be safe and effective for all skin types. Dr. Mona Khurana and the team at Shine MD are dedicated to creating an inclusive and accepting space where our patients feel supported in their self-care journies.

Medical assessment and acne management is a covered benefit by the Medical Services Plan of British Columbia. To receive medical management of your acne, you will require a referral from a primary care provider such as your family physician or a walk in clinic physician.

Please see the MSP Referral Form for detailed information regarding our referral process for medical skin conditions. Once you have obtained a referral from your primary care provider, Shine MD will contact you to book an appointment for initial MSP covered consultation with a physician. The current waiting time for medical acne based care is 4-6 months.

We also offer supportive treatments (such as skincare, facials, and laser treatments) that are not covered by the provincial health plan. In person and virtual care options are available.
