in Maple Grove Village Mall who are helping people put their best face forward. No, they aren‘t trying to pick the winner of a beauty contest but they are dedicated to examining faces under a magnifying glass. That‘s one of the steps they take in the process of minimizing those pimples and facial sores that can make some young people feel so shameful they‘ll even pass up their favorite social event to avoid being seen in public. There are three women hanging out at a clinic The three women looking at faces are doctors who have chosen to set up business together in a roomy facility known as the Oakville Acne Clinic. Although Drs.

Noting that Oakville had no acne clinic per se (as far as they knew), they pooled their resources and opened their new facility a mere three weeks ago. In that short time, they have built up a "satisfying" clientele, they said. And they seem to be enjoying themselves immensely working together as a team. Oakville Acneâ€"Clinic: â€" While they have a few older patients with adult acne, most of them are of the adolescent variety. And that‘s understandable because they said acne is most likely to hit young people in puberty when all sorts of changes are taking place in their Dr. Linda Zimmering, Dr. Debby Badowski and Dr. Denise Grant are members of the Oakville Acne Clinic: filling a need.

Among these changes could be that the pores, or tiny openings, of the skin‘s oil glands, become blocked. These tiny glands produce small amounts of oil to keep the skin soft and supple. Each gland has an opening to the skin through which the oil can escape to the surface, Sometimes these openings become clogged and the secretion can‘t escape. The oil then collects within the gland itself, causing it to swell and often to become infected. Although these blockages can occur on other parts of the body such as the back and chest, they are usually predominant (and most embarrassing) on the face. A couple of pimples might constitute a mild form of acne which, if left untreated or are squeezed and picked, can progress to permanent physical and emotional scarring. The goal of the clinic is to stop the progression of the disease by arming the patient with information and a individuallyâ€"designed treatment program following examination. "There are lots of different treatments for acne," noted Zimmering. "We know what‘s available and can help them (patients) choose the one most helpful to them." The clinic is available to any individual suffering from acne whether mild or severe, they said. Referral is not necessary and the services are currently funded by OHIP. The Oakville Acne Clinic is located in the southâ€"east corner of the mall. For information or appointments, call 844â€"1900. 5049 LIDRARZ UIREL EL ..5261 _ LOTTERIES 649 Resulcs......

According to Weima, the Board‘s November statistics show the dollar volume of real estate sales last month totalled $46.8â€"million â€" a 35% rise over results recorded one year ago and a 12% increase over October 1993.. Some speculation points to the possibility that interést rates might rise in the New Year in response to the Ontario and Canadian debt situation, and Weima sug rests this might be partly responsible for the increase in purchases recorded in November. In addition, Weima notes that a number of homeâ€"buying programs are due to run out within the next few months, and this might also fuel a sense of urgency among the homeâ€"buying public. "In any event, it‘s a pleasant surprise for many of us," Weima notes. "The statistics for most of the year have been somewhat lacklustre and, in addition, the November dollar volume of sales has, over the last few years, tended to hover closer to the $30â€"million mark." Throughout the Board area;, starter homes continued to dominate the sales profile last month with approximately 20% of houses selling for less than $150.000, and 36% selling for between $150,000 and $200,000. Only 12 houses sold last month for more than $400,000.
