Your First Step to Clear Skin * Men - Women - Teens
Take control of your acne without a dermatologist or the use of antibiotics, topical or oral prescriptions, laser treatments or Accutane. We are highly trained Estheticians who specialize in acne.
What to expect in the acne program:
You will learn a great deal about steps you can take in your every day life to improve your acne, including diet and lifestyle evaluation. Depending on the condition of your skin, your acne treatment will include enzyme or chemical exfoliation to allow for increased cell turnover and to kill bacteria within the pore, and extractions. A treatment plan, a complete set of customized homecare products, and the tools you will need to achieve clear skin will accompany you home.
What do the treatments do?
As you go through your process of achieving clear skin on your face and/or body, you will want to come in every two weeks. The reason for getting treatments is four-fold:
-
For exfoliating the skin so that home-care product can penetrate the pore more easily.
-
For hydrating the skin so that the skin is receptive to your home-care regimen.
-
For extracting existing acne impactions.
-
For killing acne bacteria inside the pore.
Pricing & Appointments
Each acne treatment has a specific focus for what the skin needs at the time of treatment. Sometimes the skin will need more hydration, other times it will need more anti-bacterial and/or anti-inflammatory support. Treatments are performed every two weeks, and will include a hydrating enyzme or an acne peel and extractions, until your skin clears. It typically takes about six visits over a three-month period of time to get skin mostly to completely clear; most clients see significant results within six weeks.
