Your Path to Clearer Skin…

Acne affects individuals of all ages, often stemming from multiple causes. Our goal is to guide you through the overwhelming amount of misinformation in the skincare industry, helping you make informed decisions for your skin.

We work with your skin’s particular needs to decongest, calm inflammation, and improve overall skin health!

Acne 201 Service ~ 60 min $239
Tailored uniquely to your skin's current condition, this advanced service combines deeper resurfacing peels and collagen-stimulating modalities to effectively target pigmentation and atrophic scarring caused by acne. Each session begins with a thorough cleanse and detailed skin examination. Treatment components may vary and include specialized peels such as MelaQuest, Modified Jessner, or TCA, as well as advanced needling techniques (stamping, subcision) designed specifically for scarring. We may also incorporate targeted ampoules infused with peptides, hydrators, and antioxidants to further elevate your results. In some cases, these methods may be combined for optimal effectiveness.
As these are advanced treatments, occasional downtime can be expected. We will fully discuss anticipated downtime prior to your treatment and provide clear pre and post-care instructions to maximize results and comfort.

Client Transformation
Our lovely client, Ellis (and her parents) graciously agreed to share their journey and fantastic results from the Acne 101 & 201 Program. Here's her story:
Ellis initially presented with moderate to severe acne including papules, pustules, significant inflammation and potential for scarring. The approach to healing included adjustments to homecare to simplify routine with barrier repair and hydration of initial importance, and eventually including at-home exfoliation products to boost cellular renewal process between treatments. Ellis completed a series of treatments (total 13) over 8 months - Including 8, Acne 101 services addressing congestion, deep and superficial acne and inflammation and 5 Acne 201 services to address scarring. Ellis's journey required pharmacological intervention due to the severity of her Acne in the beginning - we worked alongside this facet of her healing journey to achieve the final results.
These photos are original images - completely untouched so there is a slight variation in lighting. It's observable that her skin does actually get slightly more inflamed in the beginning, as we are introducing actives and asking the skin to change~ this is a normal part of the process. Once her skin maintains a level of clarity, we started with Acne 201 services and there starts to be a more obvious difference in the overall tone and texture.
It should be noted that Ellis took her homecare very seriously and was committed to getting these results.
