Face Reality Acne Program
Do you or someone you know are struggling with acne? The side effects of acne can be devastating! I am not only speaking about the physical aspects such as breakouts, redness, pain and scarring to name a few. The emotional and mental toll that acne can have on a person is equally debilitating. It is with this mind, and personally having dealt with it while also seeing friends and family along with clients, that I set out to find the best acne regimine available.
Face Reality Acne Program is one that can boast a 90% success rate without the use of prescription medications, within 3-4 months, in most cases. This isn't a one size fits all approach but rather custom home care options for every age, gender, acne type and skin type, including Fitzpatrick 4+. Not to stop there but we take it even further by taking diet and lifestyle factors into careful consideration along with supplements. It is a comprehensive program, tailored to each individual client utilizing premium products and treatment protcols, all designed to clear, healthy skin.
I look forward to walking this journey with you!
Acne Program & Services
What is Acne
Acne is an inherited disorder of the pores called “retention hyperkeratosis”. Acne-prone skin sheds up to five layers of dead skin cells, per day, inside the pore. This forms congestion under the skin which can cause acne lesions such as non-inflamed, blackheads and/or whiteheads. If bacteria is present (which just loves to feed on the dead skin cells and oil) you will get inflamed pimples, pustules and/or cysts.
Achieving Clear Skin
It can take upwards of 3 months for a micro comedone to make it to the surface, which is why the program on average takes 3-4 months for clear skin. Using proper products and adjusting homecare is essential to getting clear. Your skin will adapt to products which is why we start slow and adjust usage over time. In making the proper adjustments, we will keep pushing the skin to clear and allow the products to penetrate the pore where acne starts. Having a measured approach, the skin won't be pushed passed it's tolerance level, causing the skin to be overly dry and irritated (it is normal to be a little dry during this time).
With a system of proper homecare, adjusting product usage as needed, along with a series of bi-monthly treatments. Your acne can be under control in about three to six months depending on your type of acne. I also provide you with information on other aggravating factors that make you break out, such as foods, medications, cosmetics, stress, and common pore clogging ingredients.
Consultation and Treatment Plans
Our treatment plan is highly successful with clients who are home care compliant. On average, clients that are home care compliant have their acne under control or are significantly clearer in 3 to 6 months. Often times there is a noticeable improvement after two to three acne treatments.
Our program requires commitment and compliance. For best results, bi-weekly appointments are recommended to go over products and any adjustments along with receiving acne treatments. Once your acne is stable, once a month acne treatments with brief check ups over text/phone is recommended. During this time, we will want to eliminate as many outside influences that may aggravate your acne. After your acne is under control, you will simply need to maintain your home care products to remain clear.
