FAQ About Acne Treatments

Acne is a very common problem, affecting people of almost all ages. But each problem is unique and requires individualized treatment. We’re one of those few who not only recognizes that fact but also offers a specialized approach to treating acne.

How long does it take to get clear skin?

While many clients see an improvement in their skin within the first month, it usually takes about 6 treatments over a 3-4 month period of time to get at least 90% clear. This is because it takes 30-90 days for existing acne impactions to make their way to the surface.

Why do you adjust home care routine every 2 weeks?

Acne skin has the ability to adapt to products. We want to strengthen your homecare routine every two weeks to stay ahead of your skin’s ability to adapt and keep pushing your skin to get clear. If you are unable to come in that often, we’ll still get you clear, it will just take longer.
