What to Expect Initially

The FIRST TIME ACNE TREATMENT includes an in-depth consultation, blue LED light therapy and the initial treatment.
Plan to arrive 15 - 20 minutes before your appointment to complete all of the intake forms.
Please allow 90 minutes for the entire service.  The first visit costs $165.  You will also be purchasing $150.00 - 200.00 of products for use at home.

The program begins with education.  We will make a thorough assessment of numerous aspects of your life that impacts your acne.  We look at the whole person, not just the symptoms.  Your skin will be photographed initially and on a monthly basis to track your progress. We will analyze and test your skin with a variety of serums to determine your tolerance level.  The treatment includes deep pore cleansing, exfoliation using enzymes or a very mild corrective peel to boost the home routine, extractions of existing lesions to prevent prolonged break-outs, and blue LED light therapy to reduce inflammation, speed healing and further help clear the skin.  We will use hydration to counteract drying as the skin adjusts to healing and to help keep it balanced.  You will leave with a packet of useful information and a specific home care routine that is unique to you.  Your home routine is based on your acne type, its severity and your skin's tolerance.  We begin slowly so your skin won't become irritated and then progresses as your skin adapts.  The products are purchased here and are a separate cost from the treatment.

What to Expect at Follow-ups

 All follow-up ACNE TREATMENTS provide the following steps and considerations:
* Appropriate and professional exfoliation for your skin type, the type of acne you have and your skin's current condition.  Professional exfoliation allows the appropriate products to penetrate your skin and be more effective.  It also ensures better penetration for home care products.
* Hydration of the skin is essential to keep your skin in balance.  Hydration assists in the skin's healing of acne lesions and helps your skin be more receptive to the at home routine.  The acne products tend to dry out the skin as your skin adapts to their use.  Hydration is essential to minimize irritation.
* Extractions to eliminate acne impactions that are ready for removal and to allow the lesions to heal more quickly.
* An appropriate treatment to combat the bacteria inside the pore.

BASIC and PREMIUM Follow-up Treatments

BASIC ACNE TREATMENT is simple, fast, effective and transforming  (This service does not include the blue LED light therapy)
Allow 30 - 45 minutes.  Each Basic Acne visit costs $85.00

PREMIUM ACNE TREATMENT enlightens, clears and transforms the skin  (This service includes 30-minute blue LED light therapy)
Allow 75 minutes.  Each Deluxe Acne visit costs $135.00

​*The PREMIUM ACNE TREATMENT is our most effective ACNE TREATMENT and includes LED light therapy.  The blue LED light specifically targets ACNE to boost your results.  LED light therapy decreases inflammation, reduces redness, minimizes any post-extraction and break-out trauma, kills bacteria within the pores, accelerates healing, helps to clear acne scars and reduces recovery time.  All blue LED light therapy sessions help heal your skin from within.

Some More Details

All ACNE TREATMENTS have a specific focus to determine what your skin needs at the time of each visit.  Sometimes your skin may require more hydration, at other times it may need more anti-bacterial support or anti-inflammatory measures.  I will analyze your skin at the beginning of every visit to determine which treatment is best and to determine if any changes need to be made to your home routine.
ACNE TREATMENTS are performed at the studio every two weeks until your skin clears.  It is important that you are seen every two weeks to assess your progress, check on how your skin is responding to the treatment and to adjust your home routine as your skin adapts to your current routine.  If you are unable to be seen after two weeks, you will need to call the studio to report on your progress.
It typically takes three to four months to clear most skins.  Some individuals may take up to six months.  After you are clear, I recommend that your are seen once a month for roughly three months to ensure that you can remain clear on your own.  From here on out you are welcome to return as often as you wish.  You will need to practice what you have learned to keep your acne under control.
