How the Acne Program Works
1
Initial Consult
Our in house acne expert will evaluate your skin, go over acne consultation forms, discuss the program, recommended products and see if we are a good fit for you. Bring your current products (or photos) of all skincare, makeup, body products, and supplements you regularly use.
Initial Consult is $40
4
Acne Education
Each treatment we will continue to talk about what causes acne, what may be causing your acne and what is healing your skin and why. This is such an important part in the process as after the program has ended you will have knowledge to keep your skin clear and make adjustments as needed down the road.
2
Individualized Skin Care
Everyone has different acne, skin type, and skin history. So each routine will be adjusted to individual needs.
Price range for your initial home care regimen is $185-$300.
5
Acne Triggers
From day 1 we will discuss acne triggers. Possible triggers could be certain foods that are upsetting your gut and creating inflammation in your body, which triggers acne. By keeping a food diary or doing a food elimination diet we will narrow down what foods might be triggering inflammation in your body. We will also check all your products used on your body and hair, as well as other things that might be triggering you acne in your lifestyle or environment.
3
In-Clinic Treatments
Acne Program clients are required for a 30 minute in clinic treatment every 2 weeks. Each treatment is 30-45 minutes and will include a series of chemical peels, professional extractions, LED light therapy, hydrating treatments, enzyme treatments, cold globes, and anything else your skin might need.
Each treatment is $75.
A minimum of 6 treatments is required for this acne program.
6
Healthy Skin
This program is designed to try to keep your skin as healthy as possible, while also clearing your acne. Ideally we clear your acne, and you are able to keep it clear for good with all your education around your specific acne. Acne is controlled, not cured. But with lifestyle adjustments, a healthy skin barrier, and your acne education, you should be able to come out on the other side with confidence in your skin.
How to prepare for your Acne Consultation
COME WITH A CLEAN FACE
A clean, freshly washed face and no makeup helps speed up our time together so we can see your skin in its natural state. You can also bring photos of your skin when your acne has flared or calmed down. This will also help my skin analysis.
KNOW YOUR PRODUCTS
List your products by brand and name on your consultation form, or bring a list. You can also bring the products with you. This will help in knowing your skin history, and could help us in identifying your cause of acne.
BE OPEN MINDED
We get that putting your trust into a skin professional might seem daunting, especially seeing the level of commitment this program takes, but we promise to have your best interest in mind. We never recommend this program to clients unless we fully believe it is the best option for you.
-
Do I have to book a New Client Consultation first?You can book any facial to start out, this is simply an option if you’re unsure of what to book or would like a longer consultation to address any skin concerns and come up with a custom regimen.
-
I have multiple skin concerns, can we address all of them in one facial?Absolutely! Our treatments aren’t one size fits all and we can fully customize the treatment to target multiple skin concerns!
-
Will one facial achieve the results I desire?While results can be seen after just one facial, depending on the skin type and concern, multiple facials are usually required to achieve desired results. Monthly maintenance is suggested for optimal skin health.
-
Will my hair grow back thicker from dermaplaning?No. I promise it won't. It won't ever ever ever grow back thicker. I swear on my own mother.
-
Isn't skincare just for women?The biggest reason to open up my own business and pour my whole life into this endeavor is to show the world that ALL PEOPLE NEED SKINCARE. We all have skin and it is literally our biggest organ... so why do women only need to take care of it? It is for everybody. Everybody needs to take care of their physical and mental health, and your skin is part of your physical AND mental health. I am here to help you with whatever your skin needs and will never judge or shame anybody walking into my doors.
