FAQs Regarding Acne

What is Acne?

Acne is a genetic condition characterized by an accelerated rate of dead skin cell shedding in the pores.  Typically, pores shed one layer of dead skin cells each day, but in acne-prone skin, this process can involve up to five layers. This rapid shedding leads to the development of microcomedones, which are the earliest stage of acne. It can take up to 90 days for acne to become visible, eventually progressing to blackheads, congested skin, inflamed pimples, pustules, or cysts if bacteria are present.

How long is the clearing process?

Because it takes up to 90 days for acne to form, you may experience the emergence of acne for another 90 days . Our acne products and protocol will keep new acne from forming, that would surface 90 days from now. In most cases, our Acne Bootcamp Program will have your acne under control in about 3 to 6 months, depending on your type of acne. Your Acne Expert will customize a home care routine that takes at least 5 things into consideration: acne type, skin type, skin color, skin sensitivity and environment. The biggest part of the clearing process is your commitment to applying your home care routine as instructed and following recommended lifestyle.

What do the treatments consist of?

Treatments consist of either a mild corrective chemical peel to enhance and support your homecare. Or, if your skin is dry or dehydrated your acne expert will opt for a hydrating enzyme treatment. Both options include extractions and LED light therapy.

How often is it recommended to get in-office treatments?

Achieving optimal results typically involves about six treatments, spaced every two weeks over a three-month period, with noticeable results often visible within six weeks. After your acne is under control, maintaining your home-care regimen is crucial. Many clients return every 4-6 weeks to maintain their skin and address any old acne scars with additional treatments.

What is my responsibility to do at home?

Your result is 80% home care and 20% treatments during this program, so it is imperative to be consistent and apply to the following

  • Adhere to your personalized home care routine twice daily.
  • Attend treatments and/or assessments every two weeks.
  • Adjust your home care routine as instructed.
  • Make lifestyle changes that impact acne, such as adjusting your diet, medications, cosmetics, stress levels, and avoiding pore-clogging ingredients in products.

Regular adjustments are crucial to maintain progress and avoid setbacks. If you miss a treatment, contact your Acne Specialist for advice on modifying your home care routine.
