Acne Treatment

What is your acne treatment approach?

We take into account the type of acne you have, the type of skin you have and how fast your skin adapts to products. We keep pushing the skin to clear with products that penetrate the pore where acne starts. We don’t push it past its tolerance however, because we don’t want your skin dry and irritated. The products prevent the new acne lesions from forming; we extract the existing acne lesions out and in about three months your acne is under control.

What can I expect in my first appointment?

We consult with you regarding your experience and your prior treatments analyze your acne give you mounds of useful information regarding products and diet, medications etc., take some preliminary pictures, test your skin for sensitivities, make product recommendations and show you exactly how to use the products (and, if you are getting a treatment), do the treatment, which includes exfoliation and extractions

Can I combine your regimen with another one that I’m on?

Acne is challenging enough to get under control. In order to eliminate the variables, we require that you use only our products. We don’t want to have to wonder if an outside product is causing a problem.

How long does it take to get clearer skin?

If you do your homecare exactly like we tell you to and come in every two weeks for a treatment you will most likely be clear in about three to four months. Some people might take a little longer depending on the nature of their acne.

Why do you do extractions?

It’s the fastest way to get clear skin – we extract the current lesions out and the homecare prevents the new ones from forming. It takes up to 90 days for acne to form and come to the surface, so in the three months that we are working with you, you will have some breakout. These are just old lesions coming to the surface that we extract every two weeks.

What do peels do?

The esthetician can explain more about that in your appointment. Our high quality blended corrective peels have multiple purposes including thorough exfoliation, softening of comedones and they lighten dark spots. They also prepare the skin for maximum absorption of our homecare products. They can actually help with signs of aging, as well.

Do you do microdermabrasion?

We do, but we rarely do it for acne conditions. We prefer to use our corrective peels that also help to lighten dark spots. Your esthetician will determine the best treatment to do for your skin
