Your 12 weeks, visit by visit

  1. Day 1
    Bootcamp Start

    Skin analysis, before photos, your $199 Face Reality regimen and your first 50-minute targeted acne facial, on us. You leave with a written home care plan.

  2. Day 7
    Check-in text

    Your esthetician checks how your skin is handling the new routine and answers questions.

  3. Weeks 2 to 4
    Treatments 1 and 2

    Extended extractions, blue LED, HydraPurge and galvanic as needed. Skin is adjusting, and a short flare is normal while congestion comes to the surface.

  4. Weeks 6 to 8
    Treatments 3 and 4

    Breakouts slow down. When your skin is ready, your esthetician adds a peel, included in your program, and adjusts the strength of your home regimen.

  5. Weeks 10 to 12
    Treatments 5 and 6

    Progress photos side by side with day one, a refill check and your plan for keeping skin clear.

  6. After
    Graduate

    Move to the Signature membership, $129 a month, to keep skin clear.

That is your Bootcamp Start plus six treatments, about every two weeks for 3 months.

What every visit includes

  • Extended extractions
  • Blue LED light to target acne-causing bacteria
  • Galvanic and HydraPurge treatment, as needed
  • Professional peels when your skin is ready, included
  • Home care adjusted for where your skin is now

And you never wash your own face. Every step is done for you.

Your Face Reality home regimen

Face Reality acne skincare products: cleanser, toner, mandelic serum and moisturizers

Your $199 Face Reality home regimen is chosen for your skin at your first visit:

  • Cleanser
  • Toner
  • Mandelic acid serum, your active
  • Moisturizer
  • Daily SPF

Products typically last two to three months.

Face Reality is professional skincare formulated for acne-prone skin. Refills and add-ons are available to purchase at the studio.

How billing works

  • Visit 1: $199 for your Face Reality home regimen, paid at your appointment. Your first acne facial is included free. You sign your Bootcamp agreement and keep a card on file.
  • Then $149 a month for 2 treatments, billed monthly for 3 months. That is $74.50 a visit, extractions included.
  • A reminder before every charge: we text you before each payment, and charges appear on your statement as Facial Theory.
  • Declined card: we retry after two days and text you a link to update it. Your balance must be paid before your next treatment.
  • Not finishing: your first facial is free because you commit to the full program. If you stop early, that $149 facial is repaid.

The commitment

The Acne Bootcamp is a 3-month commitment. You agree to come in every two weeks and to follow your full Face Reality home regimen every day. Acne clears when treatment and home care are consistent, so the commitment is what makes it work.

Who it is for

Teens, students and adults with active breakouts, congestion or hormonal acne, on every skin tone. For marks and scarring left behind, see acne scar treatment. We treat cystic acne too. In extreme cases where infection is present, we refer you to a dermatologist, and we are happy to work alongside your prescription plan.

FAQ

bootcamp questions

Is my first facial really free?

Yes. When you start the Bootcamp with your $199 Face Reality home regimen, your first 50-minute targeted acne facial, with consultation, extractions and blue LED, is on us. That is a $149 facial. The regimen and 3-month enrollment are required.

How does billing work?

You pay $199 for your Face Reality home regimen at your first visit, and your first acne facial is included free. After that, $149 a month for 2 treatments, billed monthly for 3 months. That works out to $74.50 a visit.

What happens if my card is declined?

We retry automatically after two days and text you a link to update your card. Your balance must be paid before your next treatment. After a second failed attempt, your program is paused until the balance is paid.

What if I do not finish the 3 months?

The Bootcamp is a 3-month commitment. Your first facial is on us because you commit to the full program, so if you stop before finishing, you pay back that $149 facial.

What if I miss a Bootcamp visit?

Our standard policy applies: same-day cancellations are charged 50% and no-shows are charged in full. Missed visits are not added to the end of your program.

What happens at each Bootcamp visit?

Your plan is adjusted every visit: galvanic, peels, HydraPurge, blue LED and extended extractions, all included.

Are peels included?

Yes. Peels are included in the Bootcamp and added when your skin is ready for one.

Do you treat cystic acne?

Yes. We treat cystic, inflamed and hormonal acne every day. In extreme cases where infection is present, we refer you to a dermatologist, and we are happy to work alongside your prescription plan.

Can I do the Bootcamp on isotretinoin (Accutane)?

Tell us about every medication on your intake form. Peels are paused while on isotretinoin. Extractions continue, just approached more carefully.

How many treatments do I get?

Your Bootcamp Start plus six treatments, one about every two weeks for 3 months.

Will my skin purge?

Some clients see a short flare in the first few weeks as congestion comes to the surface. Your esthetician tracks it with you and adjusts your routine if needed.

Why do I have to commit for 3 months?

The Acne Bootcamp is highly discounted, and acne clears in stages with consistent treatment and home care. Our reputation rests on real results, so the Bootcamp is the one program that requires a 3-month commitment. Our Signature and Advanced memberships are month to month.

What happens after 3 months?

Most clients graduate to the Signature membership, $129 a month, to keep skin clear.

Is the Bootcamp for teens?

Yes. We treat tweens from age 10 and teens, including hormonal acne. A parent or guardian must stay with your child for the entire appointment.

Serious about your skin. Big on relaxation.
