Your Commitment

Here are a few things you must do to get the best results out of the Clear Skin Method.

  • Use home care twice daily (morning & night).

  • Follow up appointments to administer acne peel and make regimen adjustments until you are clear. Failing to do so will result in stalling of the clearing process.

  • Follow home care adjustments to boost your regimen as your skin adapts to products.

  • Make lifestyle adjustments to reduce or eliminate acne aggravating foods, medications and cosmetics or hair care products.

  • Keep an open line of communication with your acne coach if you experience a set back or problem.

  • PLEASE UNDERSTAND : Most acne clients achieve clear skin in 4 to 6 months, but this timeline varies based on your type and severity of acne, willingness to implement lifestyle adjustments, and overall commitment to the Acne Program.

Acne FAQs

  • Acne is a genetic disease that causes the pilosebaceous unit (hair follicle + oil gland), to malfunction. We all have 3 types of skin follicles in our skin – vellus, sebaceous and terminal – the sebaceous follicle, found only in the face, upper arms, chest and upper back, are responsible for acne breakouts. Plain English? Acne is plugged, inflamed pores (blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, cysts and nodules) that develop on the face, neck, chest, back, shoulders and even upper arms.

  • Most clients clear in 3 to 6 months, but this timeline varies based on your acne type, severity, lifestyle habits, and other health factors.

  • Initial consultation + treatment is $125. Follow up treatments are every other week over the course of 3 months, $99 each visit. Your full product regimen will range from $250-$300 and will need to be replenished as you run out.

  • You absolutely have a major role in clearing your skin – this is a partnership. Your role is following home-care instructions to the letter, my role is confirming a course of treatment, monitoring your progress, providing professional strength treatments here at the studio, and customizing your regimen week by week. Changing active ingredient strength in your home care regimen to address your healing skin will be critical to staying on top of the healing process.

  • We can absolutely lighten and brighten post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from old breakouts and help prevent scarring from current breakouts. This is actually treated simultaneously during the clearing process! Depending on the severity and type of scarring you may need additional therapies to assist in evening skin tone. We can determine that at your enrollment appointment though, once we assess your skin.

  • Yes, the Acne Program is safe, but a few adjustments must be made depending on what your doctor recommends. We avoid Salicylic Acid, Vitamin A, and TCA chemical peels while pregnant and/or breastfeeding. Achieving clear skin while pregnant and/or breastfeeding is definitely possible, but keep in mind your hormones can affect your progress throughout the program.

  • …while participating in the program? No, prescription acne medications, antibiotics, and creams need to be discontinued before starting our Program. The Acne Program is designed to clear skin without the use of prescription acne medications.

  • Once you are clear, we transition into the Maintenance phase where we begin to space out your treatments monthly and eventually quarterly (instead of treatments every two weeks). We can also customize your future treatments to address other skin goals you may have besides acne.

    We’ll also adjust your skincare routine over time, but for the most part, you’ll remain on our products indefinitely in order to maintain clear skin long-term. The important thing to remember is acne is never cured, it’s only controlled with the proper skincare routine, lifestyle adjustments, and treatment plan!

    Most of our guests join our STAY CLEAR membership program that provides monthly treatments at a discounted rate in addition to other perks and savings. For more information see memberships.
