The first time you come to visit us, we spend a lot of time together. We will discuss what acne is because when you understand what causes it, it is easier to get clear. We will also talk about your individual concerns and situation. While you did not do anything to cause your acne, you may be doing things that can make it harder to clear it up and we want to help you understand those blocking factors. In the treatment room we will examine and test your skin to help us to learn what type of skin you have and what type of acne you have. Those two factors help us to put together a home care protocol for you because 75% of getting clear is the daily care regimen. We will provide the first treatment so what you do at home will work better.

​

Our in-office acne treatments are completely individualized, but all include exfoliation and extraction. The type of exfoliation we do is dependent on your skin’s needs and tolerances. Extractions vary according to how many you need and your tolerance. All of our acne treatments provide the following:

​

• Exfoliation for your skin type. Proper exfoliation allows the products to penetrate the skin and pores much more effectively.

• Hydration of the skin which is necessary for more rapid healing of the lesions and to make your skin more receptive to your home-care acne regimen.

• Extractions to remove the acne impactions that are close to the surface, allowing the lesions to heal more quickly.

• Treatment to combat the bacteria inside the pores.

• Lifting and lightening of any dark spots that may be a result of your acne lesions.

All acne skin care treatments have a specific focus depending on what your skin needs at the time of your visit. Sometimes the skin will need more hydration, other times it will need more anti-bacterial and/or anti-inflammatory treatment.

​

What to expect on your biweekly visit: ​

• Appropriate treatment based on skin assessment e.g. Pro. Acne peel or Enzyme hydration treatment.

• Evaluation of current skin condition and home care regimen adjustment.

• Extraction of current acne lesions

• Discuss lifestyle changes that you may need to consider to help clear your acne. 

• Photos for progress monitoring

• Answers and support for questions or concerns you may have.

• Take home folder that includes invaluable information pertaining to acne.

Back or Chest Acne Treatment 

Many individuals with face acne also experience chest acne and back acne. Sometimes, chest or back acne will appear even though the face is clear. The back and the chest are treated differently because the skin is much thicker on the back than on the chest. The price variance has to do with the extent of the body acne and therefore the time and area involved. Price per session is chest or back (choose one).

Add-on to face acne treatment – $110 and up.

Keratosis Pilaris (KP) 

Treatment 

You know those funny bumps some people get on their upper arms? They don’t really look like pimples on the face, but there are similarities. Those bumps are known as “Keratosis Pilaris” and are caused by blocked follicles. We can treat them with a combination of an in-office exfoliation and home care.
