What is acne?
Acne is an inherited disorder of the pores and it is often associated with inflammation. Someone with "normal" skin typically sheds about 1 layer of cells per day, while someone with acne-prone skin sheds up to 5 layers. These dead skin cells can easily become trapped in the pore, leading to breakouts. There are different types of acne and many different causes. It's important to take all of this into account when treating acne. For example, someone with non-inflamed breakouts should be treating their skin differently than someone with inflamed breakouts. This is where Face reality comes in!
What is Face Reality?
Face Reality Skin Care is a highly effective, customized treatment program for those suffering with acne. With a 90% success rate, clients typically experience results within 3-4 months. Face Reality offers a unique combination of products/ingredients to target all different types of acne and keep pores clear. As your Face Reality Skin Care specialist, I will help teach you about aggravating factors that may be contributing to your acne, such as foods, medications/supplements, pore clogging ingredients, stress, etc. I will also do a thorough skin analysis and choose the right products for your skin, as well as teach you exactly how to use them. This program is best suited for those who are willing to fully commit (using products every day, receiving facial treatments, and removing any aggravating factors if possible).
It is not an overnight process, but I will help you every step of the way to get your skin clear and keep it clear! We will check-in with each other every two weeks and make any adjustments to your homecare and treatment plan if needed.
How does the program work?
The pillar of the Face Reality program is the homecare products. Upon consultation, I will choose a comprehensive routine for you to use morning and night. The initial investment is typically $150-$200. Bi-weekly acne treatments are also needed. Depending on the type and severity of your acne, you can expect to need about 6-8 treatments. Treatment packages are available. Please see below under "Acne Treatment".
