What we treat

Corrective skincare for the conditions that don't quit on their own.

If any of these describe what you're working through, this program was built for you.

Hormonal & adult acne

Cyclic breakouts along the jaw, chin, and neck — often resistant to drugstore routines and topical antibiotics.

Cystic & inflammatory acne

Deep, painful breakouts that scar. We treat both the active inflammation and the post-acne marks left behind.

Teen & young-adult acne

Hormone-driven breakouts during adolescence — paired with parent-friendly education and accountability.

Congestion & blackheads

Persistent texture, blackheads, and clogged pores that won't budge with at-home exfoliation alone.

Post-acne pigmentation (PIH)

The dark marks left behind after a breakout heals — treated alongside active acne, never separately.

Barrier-damaged skin

Skin that's been over-exfoliated, over-treated, or over-routined — and needs rebuilding before correction can begin.

FACE REALITY · 90 DAYS
The Face Reality Acne Program

A 90-day journey, paced to your skin.

The Face Reality Acne Program is a clinical-grade protocol developed for clients who need real correction, not another product. It combines an in-studio bi-weekly treatment cadence with a custom home-care routine — and weekly accountability between visits.

Most clients see meaningful clearing within 12 weeks. Many are fully clear by week 16. From there, we transition into long-term maintenance so the results stay.

Week 1–2
Reset
Strip back to barrier-safe basics. Begin gentle exfoliation and clarifying actives.
Week 3–6
Calm
Active inflammation begins to drop. Pace ramps up based on tolerance.
Week 7–12
Clear
Most clients see meaningful clearing. PIH starts to fade.
Week 13–16
Maintain
Transition to a sustainable, simpler routine for long-term skin health.

Acne FAQs

Before your consultation.

What makes Face Reality different from a regular acne facial?

A standard acne facial treats the visible breakout. Face Reality is a system — clinical-grade home care, in-studio treatments, and weekly accountability working together over 90 days. It addresses why acne is happening, not just what it looks like.

How long until I see results?

Most clients see meaningful clearing within 12 weeks. Many are fully clear by week 16. Some skins are faster, some need longer — we go at your skin's pace, not a script.

Will my skin get worse before it gets better?

Sometimes there's a "purge" in the first 2–4 weeks as deeper congestion surfaces. It's temporary, expected, and a sign the program is working. We prepare you for it at consultation so it's never a surprise.

What if I'm already on prescription medications?

Many clients come in already on or coming off prescriptions. We'll coordinate around what you're using and modify the protocol so we never over-treat the skin.

Do you treat teen acne?

Yes — and we welcome parents at the first visit. The protocol is the same; the education just adapts to fit a teen's life.

What does the program cost in total?

The 90-day program typically runs $850–$1,200 (consult + in-studio treatments + Face Reality product). Exact pricing is reviewed at your consultation so there are no surprises.
