Spa Facials are designed for clients that are looking to indulge in self-care and relaxation. Products used during Spa “Glow” Facials are not treatment products for Acne. They are targeted for anti-aging, hydrations, balancing.

Acne Treatment is designed for clients with Noninflamed, inflamed, & combination skin. Clients that are 100% committed to clearing their skin and making the recommended lifestyle adjustments are eligible for Acne treatments.

For Acne Treatment:

On your first visit, expect to spend around $150 + Product purchase

*All prices are subject to change

It depends on whether you book a Spa Facial, just a consultation with us, OR if you book a consultation and treatment together. This is what to expect from your first Treatment (not spa facial) appointment.

We will:

1) analyze your skin and your acne

2) teach you everything you need to know about acne including information regarding products and diet, medications etc.

3) take preliminary pictures

4) test your skin for sensitivities

5) recommend the best products for your skin and acne and show you exactly how to use the products

6) perform an acne treatment (if booked), which includes exfoliation and extractions

7) +30min LED Therapy if added

*We either perform a very mild chemical peel on your skin or gentle enzyme treatment. The esthetician will determine which of these is most appropriate for your skin. Generally speaking, neither of these are uncomfortable or will make your skin visibly peel or there might be very mild flaking. We will also perform extractions of your acne.

The first appointment is scheduled for about 1 ½ hours and subsequent appointments for 45 minutes. When your skin starts to get clearer and there are fewer extractions to do, treatments will take less and less time.

I will assess your skin condition and recommend products to prepare you for treatments. Using the products I recommend will allow me to get to know your skin and repair your moisture barrier.

*We will take before photos to track your progress

Yes, using only the products that I recommend will provide you with the best result. We will start by clearing your acne and then graduate into anti-aging products.

My most diligent and dedicated client's skin will have significantly improved in the first 3 to 6 months. That means you are using all the recommended products morning and night, following all the lifestyle recommendations, taking appropriate supplements, and coming in for treatments every 2 weeks. Success will require a positive mindset!

When you first start with your new products, It's normal to break out worse and in a different way than you are used to. Breakouts should heal much quicker while using your new routine. Acne starts underneath the skin up to 90 days before seeing a visible acne lesion. This acne must come up and out. The purging phase shouldn't last more than a few weeks. Make sure you are in for a treatment every two weeks to minimize this effect. You can add an LED device to your routine and Ice regularly. (See the new client success packet)

You must be off Accutane for at least six months to start treatment.

For most people, there is slight discomfort but it’s very tolerable.

It’s the fastest way to get clear – we extract the current lesions out and your home care products prevent the new acne lesions 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 breakouts. These are just old lesions coming to the surface that we extract every two weeks.

For most people, acne is an inherited condition of the pores. When someone is prone to acne, their pores clog with dead skin cells much faster than normal. Healthy pores shed about one layer of dead skin cells per day inside the pore, but acne-prone pores shed up to five layers of dead skin cells per day. The body just can’t keep up with keeping the pore clear. Technically, this is called “retention hyperkeratosis” — dead skin cells shedding more quickly than the pore can expel them.
